Last updated 20th Dec 2024
Following the 2024 final on Sunday 10th March, ITV/STV bosses confirmed Dancing On Ice had been renewed for a new series in 2025, despite speculation the show could be scrapped. Now, with the celebs lined up, we finally have a start date.
Revealing the all-important date, bosses revealed we can expect the new season to land on Sunday 12th January 2025. The new season will see a fresh batch of celebrities take to the ice - although, sadly, Dame Sarah Storey is no longer able to compete.
When does Dancing On Ice 2025 start?
Dancing On Ice 2025 will start on ITV1 and ITVX on Sunday 12th January 2025, running for the usual nine weeks, with a new cast.
Announcing the all-important date, bosses wrote: 'Polish your skates and sparkle your sequins, we're back on your screens on Sunday 12th January 2025! ❄️🩵'.
Who is hosting the next series?
As fans will know, Stephen Mulhern stepped in to host the 2024 series alongside Holly Willoughby, after Phillip Schofield resigned from ITV last year, and the pair will both be back next year.
Speaking after the 2024 final, in which Ryan Thomas was crowned the winner, Holly said: "That is it for this series. Thank you to all of our couples for taking part," before thanking the judging panel.
Stephen added: "And a big thanks to you for watching and voting. We are back next year with the brand new class of 2025. Do not miss it! Until then, goodbye."
The 2024 final saw former Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas and his partner Amani Fancy win the show, with Miles Nazaire and Vanessa Bauer coming in second place, and Adele Roberts and Mark Hanretty in third.
