As we slowly get closer to the next series of Dancing On Ice starting in January, the line-up of celebrities is gradually being teased to us, with another two names now being confirmed by ITV.

Nile announced the amazing news with a video posted on his YouTube channel, where he excitedly said: "I'm going to be on ITV's Dancing on Ice! This is a really cool thing. I've certainly not done much ice-skating but I am so excited for the opportunity. I’m so excited to get into that routine and to feel like an athlete again."
Revealing what he was going to bring to the show, he added: "My biggest goal on the show is to do something that no-one has ever done before!"
Not long after Nile shared his news, Coronation Street actress Mollie Gallagher also revealed she would be joining the line-up.
The fifth edition to the 2023 cast shared her news while on Lorraine, where she said: "I’m really excited. I’ve not really felt nervous yet, strangely. But being here today, I am now feeling it a little bit!"
She also revealed that she will be seeking advice from her co-stars from the soap, saying: "I’ll be getting all the tips I can because I’m going to need it!"
