After weeks of training, this year's Dancing on Ice contestants will strap their skates on to compete against each other for the first time at the weekend.
Ahead of the big night, the show's official Twitter account has offered a sneak peek at what songs we can expect to see the first six couples dance to.
Magician Ben Hanlin will take to the ice with his professional partner Carlotta Edwards to the nu-metal classic Bring Me To Life by Evanescence.
