I love watching ice skating so feel pleased that a new series of Dancing on Ice starts tomorrow, Sunday 12th. Will anyone else be watching?

I read this morning that Jane and Chris will be hanging up their skates for good shortly.

I enjoy watching it, so I am looking forward to tomorrow evening. I think it is time they retired from skating and left when they are still excellent. I wonder if that will be the end of the series.

I will be watching, it’s my next favourite programme after Strictly, can’t wait 😊

Thanks for the celebs list MissA. I know some of them. Sir Steve Redgrave?? Gosh!

Not long now.... can't wait. I enjoy this almost as much as Strictly.

I still enjoy it but I think it was better when the majority of the participants clearly couldn't skate and we could see how they improved over the course of the series.

Too many are too good from week one if you see what I mean, and I wonder if that's why viewer figures have declined over the last few years.

Does anyone remember Todd Carty disappearing down the tunnel and being unceremoniously pushed back onto the rink, looking a little shell shocked; brilliant.

This will be the last time Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean take to the ice on tv as they're 'hanging up their skates' this year sad.

I'm looking forward to this. Love the skating. It matters not that I don't know who most of the celebrities are.

I could do without Holly but that's the only negative about it!

I watched it late into the series, last year, and gave up the ghost.
I thought they were very mediocre, and I couldn't stand all the hysteria between dancers.

Still, it's a new year, and I know three of the clebs. smile

Hellogirl1 Sun 12-Jan-25 17:56:15

I only know who 3 of them are.

Esmay Sun 12-Jan-25 19:03:16

Watching it now .
I also only know three of the celebrities .

MissAdventure Sun 12-Jan-25 19:08:54

She seems quite nice, whoever she is.

MissAdventure Sun 12-Jan-25 19:10:14

Ferdinand?
He's not on my list!!

Sparklefizz Sun 12-Jan-25 19:10:17

I could do without the corny repartee between Holly and Stephen. It's more like children's tv.

MissAdventure Sun 12-Jan-25 19:12:52

He was quite good! smile

Louella12 Sun 12-Jan-25 19:14:21

Anton was very good. I thought he might have got a few 7s. Is he related to the other Ferdinand footballer?

Oh, I know.
It adds nothing to the programme at all.

Sparklefizz Sun 12-Jan-25 19:15:25

Louella Yes, they're brothers.

MissAdventure Sun 12-Jan-25 19:15:39

I'd think he's related, just looking at him.

MissAdventure Sun 12-Jan-25 19:17:11

I'll be kind of cross if Michaela is good.
She's good ar most things.

Louella12 Sun 12-Jan-25 19:17:13

Ah yes, thank you!

TillyTrotter Sun 12-Jan-25 19:26:27

Good? She was fantastic for the first show!

Sparklefizz Sun 12-Jan-25 19:26:46

Wow! High scores for Michaela.

TillyTrotter Sun 12-Jan-25 19:27:02

Her dress is lovely too. 👗

Sparklefizz Sun 12-Jan-25 19:30:49

Love Ryan. Really enjoyed watching him skate last year.
