You might have thought that once Christmas was over, you would be safe to turn your tellies on and not see a bunch of famous faces making idiots of themselves, but then along comes the new run of Dancing on Ice.

This time around, Hollyoaks hunk Chris Fountain; former Emmerdale actor Tim Vincent; Suzanne Shaw, whose previous credits include The Bill; sultry singer Samantha Mumba; Pop Idol runner-up Gareth Gates; sports presenter Natalie Pinkham; Aggie MacKenzie of How Clean Is Your House? fame; tennis ace Greg Rusedski; javelin star Steve Backley and TV presenter Michael Underwood will all be taking part.

Anyone who was gutted former kids' TV favourite Sarah Greene dropped out at the last minute for series two will be chuffed to hear she's in the running for the third season.

They'll all be hoping to follow in the blades of last year's champion, rugby ace Kyran Bracken.

As ever, former Olympic gold medallists Torvill and Dean will be offering a few pearls of wisdom, and rumour has it, the pair are hard at work on a new opening to the series.
