Dancing on Ice starts on ITV Sunday 12th

Michaela was great.

Years ago I regularly went to the Hit Man and Her which she presented with Pete Waterman. Good times!

Shame that we can't vote Holly and Stephen out. They're useless. Not remotely funny.

Totally agree Louella12. I can't stand them.

Lovely to see Jayne and Chris skating again.

Lovely to see Jayne and Chris skating again.

Fabulous 👌

Pleased to see Dancing on Ice back again this year. Just enjoyed watching the first show.
Delighted to see Jane & Chris on the ice.
Thank you for starting the thread once more, Sparklefizz, roll on next week.

Stephen Mulhern is getting on my wick. Why is he even needed?

stephen mulhern should stick to entertaining children he's no good with adult shows. needs to rein it in.

If he's the host, he really does put me off the show.

I know it's much maligned "light entertainment", but it's moronic!

I've never understood why Stephen Mulhern gets so many shows. I'm sure he's very nice but he's bland and unfunny (if that's a word).

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

I think everyone on tv these days started out in Children's tv, so they've all kept that childlike mindset - annoying !

Stephen Mulhern is the worst presenter ever, in my opinion. He is smarmy, creepy and not in the least funny. I adore Dancing on Ice normally but I don’t think I’ll be able to tolerate it with him on it this year. What do people see in him? Am I missing something? He really gives me the ‘ick’ as they say these days.

The problem with Dancing On Ice is Phil Schofield had to resign and Stephen Mulhern was probably the first choice to replace him. He is poor and more suited to cheap game shows.

Stephen Mulhern is not at all funny. Love watching Torvill and Dean and going to see them in Manchester in May in their final tour. You can usually tell in the first few programmes who will go far but the panel get on my nerves. They enthuse over the skaters - oh you were great, etc but I'm only giving you 5. They get rid of good ones and keep the rubbish ones in. I seriously think the voting is rigged.

I was quite surprised last season.
I thought it seemed that the routines were very tame, and everyone was giving ridiculously large scores for mediocre performances.

I was expecting a couple of stars to stand out, but then my neighbour told me it was already the semi final.

It was pretty lacklustre from what I saw, and not worthy of the hysteria.

I love it and it brightens up dark January nights.

I always think how brave the female professionals are, letting these stars haul them around, and doing the "headbanger" with them.
Edge of the seat stuff!! 😱

I agree MissA. I can't bear the headbanger and watch it through my fingers. It's not even an attractive move to look at, never mind the danger.

I'm drawn to watch it - like a film with violence from behind a cushion.

I cant help thinking Michaela is going to be great every single week and then win.

I do hope there will be some competition creeping up behind her.

I can remember that show and pass the mic.

I had a phone call from my daughter just as it started tonight. I'll have to catch up with it later but how did the first celeb get on?

shocked to see Steve Redgrave on the show, surely he doesn't need the money. awful in my opinion

Wow Mollie! Fantastic for week 1 !

Steve was awful. She was brave to let him briefly lift her. I wouldn't have!!

Molly and Colin are great together and she looks fearless. Can’t wait to see their next skate.
