The line-up is well and truly in place, and they have all been practicing for months ahead of their nerve-wracking debut on the slippery ballroom floor.

The forthcoming series stars the likes of Coronation Street's Claire Sweeney, EastEnders' Ricky Norwood, Made in Chelsea's Miles Nazaire and former boxer Ricky Hatton MBE among many others.

Stephen Mulhern will be joining Holly Willoughby in presenting duties after Phillip Schofield stepped down last year.

ITV since released a first look at the pair, posing ahead of the new series (below).

For season 16, it has been confirmed that Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern will present the series.

There had been much speculation about Dancing on Ice’s 2024 presenting line-up following Schofield's exit from ITV and Willoughby's exit from This Morning.

However, it was confirmed that Willoughby would be returning back in December, and that she will be joined by her old Ministry of Mayhem colleague Mulhern.

Meanwhile, the judging panel for Dancing on Ice 2024 will remain the same.

This will see Oti Mabuse, Ashley Banjo, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean return to their seats as judges.
