Season 6 Dancing On Ice Contestants

ITV has released the first official images of next year’s ‘Dancing On Ice’ contestants.

The line-up for the show, which kicks off in January, includes the usual mix of ex-soap stars, TV presenters and pop stars.

However, this year marks the first time that a competitor features from outside the usual fields of entertainment and sport with the addition of Victoria Cross winner Lance Corporal Johnson Beharry.

The show is also adding a new twist with plans to eliminate four of the contestants before they get through to the competition stage.
