Now that I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here is over and the Love Island Christmas Reunion episode is behind us, we are SUPER excited for the start of Dancing On Ice in January, featuring the likes of Gemma Collins, Wes Nelson and former Westlife singer Brian McFadden.
As Holly Willoughby returned home from Aus, she reunited with her co-presenter Phillip Schofield for the official launch of the 2019 series in London last night. 11 of this year's celebrities attended the launch with their professional partners, all looking amazing in their sequin outfits.
Former Neighbours actor Mark Little was unable to attend the launch, he's busy starring in panto!

It was reported earlier this week that the Dancing On Ice launch show in January could be in jeopardy as the ice rink is apparently 'melting'.
A source said, "It's being claimed that currently the studio is 'too warm' for the ice rink, which is struggling to remain frozen enough for the contestants. They have been installing insulation so the temperature doesn’t rise any more. It’s very hard to get it right — a few degrees out and puddles can begin to appear.”
Dancing On Ice returns to our TV screens on Sunday 6th January and artistic director Dan Whiston has hinted at an unusual opening number.
