Dancing on Ice 2023: Start date and time, judges, and latest news
Season 15 is in full swing.
The sparkling new season of Dancing on Ice continues tonight as viewers wait to see which celebrity will be the sixth to be eliminated in this week's episode.
But of course, this season has seen fans having to get to grips with a major format change, affecting how contestants are eliminated from the show.
For the past 14 seasons, the public vote has landed two dancers in the daunting skate-off, where they skate again in hopes of being saved by members of the expert judging panel.
That system seemed set to continue as Dancing on Ice season 15 got started. However, in week three, the producers made a shock announcement that the skate-off had been axed and from then on, contestants would be eliminated based on the combined totals of the public vote and the judges' scores.
Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton was the first to exit the show under this revised format, with recent eliminated celebrities including Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu, Patsy Palmer and Danny Harriott.
So far, the strongest competitors on the show have been Hollyoaks star Carley Stenson, Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson and drag queen The Vivienne, but the field is still very much wide open.
Read on for everything you need to know including what time Dancing on Ice starts, which celebrities will be performing, who their professional partners are, and all the latest news straight from the studio.
