Carley Stenson
Former Hollyoaks star Carley Stenson is returning to our screens once again.
This time alongside professional partner Mark Hanretty.
The actress, who played Steph Cunningham on the soap for 11 years, is mum to a one-year-old daughter called Skye Bella who she shares with husband Danny Mac.
Danny played Dodger in Hollyoaks and was a finalist on Strictly.
A source told The Sun: "He's sure to be sharing some valuable advice for her as she prepares to take to the rink.
"But after carving out her own career as a performer on TV and later in the West End she already knows a thing or two about dazzling audiences."
Siva Kaneswaran
Swapping the stage for skates this year is The Wanted star Siva Kaneswaran.
The singer has previously said he was inspired to appear on the show by late bandmate Tom Parker, who sadly died last year after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour.
Darren Harriott
Hoping to bring his charismatic charm to the ice is comedian Darren Harriott.
In the trailer for the show, Darren can be heard saying: '' If I have a bad gig, I can just blame the audience.
“Whereas if I wipe out on the ice, I can’t really blame the ice!”
Patsy Palmer
Former EastEnders star and DJ Patsy Palmer is also taking to the ice - both in the UK and US.
She will be showing off her skating skills alongside partner Matt Evers.
Because the actress lives in Malibu these days, producers aren't going to force her to jet over to a rink in Milton Keynes or similar.
The mum - who wants to stay close to kids Charley, Fenton and Emilia - said: "I'll be travelling back, but training in Los Angeles which I feel blessed about."
Nile Wilson
Olympic bronze medal-winning gymnast Nile Wilson is used to competing - but has he got what it takes to win Dancing On Ice 2023?
During the shows trailer, Nile can be heard saying: “It’s right up my street, learning a new skill and being competitive again.
“I’m just going to give it my absolute everything and see how far we can go.”
Joey Essex
Reality star and former The Only Way is Essex cast member Joey Essex will take to the ice alongside professional skating partner Vanessa Bauer.
Speaking on This Morning Joey said: "I've done all the dating shows. I like doing serious stuff, but this is a competition.
"I would love to win."
Mollie Gallagher
