Holly Willoughby has hosted Dancing on Ice since 2006, apart from a brief hiatus between 2012 and 2014, and will return to host series 17.

As expected, 12 diverse celebrities will take to the ice every Sunday to perform for the judges, a live audience, and millions of viewers at home.
The full lineup includes:

Who is Likely to Win Dancing on Ice 2025?
It is hard to predict who will win Dancing on Ice 2025 until the first live show is complete.
However, Mollie Pearce is the current favorite to win, as she proved she has a competitive side in The Traitors and was the runner-up on the hit BBC show.
As she wears a stoma for an autoimmune condition, she will likely provide inspiring ice dancing routines that may encourage viewers to pick up the phone and vote for her.
However, she may face stiff competition from Dan Edgar, who has dated a former Dancing on Ice contestant, and Coronation Street’s Sam Aston, who has stated he is eager to show audiences a different side to him on the ice.
Of course, you shouldn’t rule out funnyman Chris Taylor of Love Island fame or reality star Fearne McCann, as she is known for reaching near the top spot in many reality TV show competitions, such as Celebrity SAS and I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.
Where Can I Watch Dancing on Ice?
Dancing on Ice will be broadcast on ITV in January 2025. If you miss the live show, you can catch up on one or more episodes on ITV X.
