Every day this week, the professional skating partners for the Dancing On Ice celebrities have been revealed, and now it's the turn of reality TV star Gemma Collins and cricketer Ryan Sidebottom to have their partners revealed.
Pairing with a Dancing On Ice veteran, Matt Evers, Gemma will be in very good hands as Matt has been in EVERY series of the show so far. Gemma took to Twitter earlier today to confirm the exciting news in a video, joking, "I'm about to reveal to you my Dancing On Ice partner, poor bloke..."
The camera then moves to Matt, who says, "Hello, hello, oh my god, we had so much fun today!"
The show's official Instagram account also shared a photo of the pair saying, 'NEWS JUST IN: @themattevers and @gemmacollins1 are pairing up for #DancingOnIce 2019!'.
This time around Matt will be hoping to stay in the competition for longer as earlier this year he was partnered with The Great British Bake Off winner, Candice Brown, however, sadly they were voted out of the competition first.
Meanwhile, the other pairing to be revealed is for Ryan Sidebottom, who will team up with Brandee Malto. Brandee was new to Dancing On Ice when it returned earlier this year, and she skated with Anthony Cotton. The pair left the competition in Week 7 of the show.
These latest pairings come in the week that we have also heard four other pairings for the competition:
Yesterday (6th November), professional ballroom dancer, James couldn't contain his excitement, taking to Twitter to post a funny photo saying, 'So yesterday I met my @dancingonice pro partner. She is lovely and an amazing skater and teacher. As you can see below Very excited!!!' sic
However, despite his initial excitement, the reality of the training is becoming obvious, as James later took to Twitter to tell his fans how his first 'proper day training' had gone, and it sounded eventful! 'I nearly killed her', James tweeted, explaining how he fell on top of Alexandra! Ouch!
Last month all of the celebrities taking part in the new series were confirmed - see all of them below:
