Get ready for some thrilling updates as the new series of Dancing on Ice is set to bring a dazzling lineup to our screens in 2025!
Olympic rowing legend Sir Steve Redgrave is the latest celebrity confirmed to join the competition.
He’ll be joining reality TV star Mollie Pearce and the ever-popular Ferne McCann.
Mollie, known from her stint on The Traitors, was the first contestant announced, creating quite a buzz!
Steve Redgrave’s Comeback
In an announcement made during Monday’s episode of This Morning, the 62-year-old Sir Steve shared his excitement about the upcoming challenge.
“It’s like going back to being an athlete again; I’ve been competing most of my life,” he said, reflecting on his illustrious career.
Sir Steve boasts an impressive record, having secured gold medals at five consecutive Olympic Games from 1984 to 2000, along with three Commonwealth Games golds and nine World Rowing Championships golds.
However, he humorously noted his struggle to find skates that fit, as he has size 12 feet.
“They are making some shoes for me!” he quipped.
Mollie Pearce: Ready for a Challenge
Right after Mollie’s reveal on Lorraine, she expressed her enthusiasm for the show, looking forward to the physical demands it will bring.
The 22-year-old, who bravely wears a stoma bag following surgery in 2020, remarked, “I think for me, my stoma has given me my life back.”
Known for her resilience, Mollie shared her excitement about the skating challenges, including the daring “head banger” move, despite jokingly acknowledging her parents’ concerns.
“I’m really ready to throw myself into it!” she exclaimed, eager to start training.
Ferne McCann Joins the Lineup
Ferne McCann, a mother of two and reality TV veteran, also shared her anticipation for the show during an episode of Good Morning Britain.
“I’m so excited; it’s going to be a huge challenge but I’m excited for the glitz and glamour of the show,” she said.
When asked about her skating skills, she confessed she’s more of a novice, admitting she might need assistance.
Ferne rose to fame in 2013 through The Only Way Is Essex and has enjoyed a vibrant career since, recently announcing that the next series of her own reality show will be her last after a successful run.
Holly Willoughby’s Return
In other news, Holly Willoughby has been approached by ITV bosses to return as the host for the new season of Dancing on Ice.
This comes after a period where she wasn’t contracted for any shows on the channel for the first time in 20 years.
A source revealed that negotiations are underway, emphasizing ITV’s desire to keep her as part of their lineup for years to come, particularly as she holds a special place in the hearts of fans since her career began with Dancing on Ice.

Just before Ferne’s announcement, rumors surfaced about another exciting addition to the lineup: Charlie Brooks, best known for her role as Janine Butcher on EastEnders and her win on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2012.
