I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! isn't even over yet and already details are out of who will be taking part in the new series of Dancing On Ice, which kicks off in January.
So what have we got? Couple of failed popstars hoping for a comeback? Check! Couple of hunky former soap stars to provide some eye candy for the laydees? Check! Couple of retired sports stars? Check! Older contestant who doesn't stand a chance? Check!
Yep, they're all present and correct and in case you are wondering the full line-up is... Pop Idol runner-up Gareth Gates, singer Samantha Mumba, ex-Emmerdale actor and Blue Peter star Tim Vincent, Hollyoaks' Chris Fountain, How Clean Is Your House's Aggie MacKenzie and sportsmen Greg Rusedski and Steve Backley.
The line-up is completed with former Hear'Say star Suzanne Shaw, sports presenter Natalie Pinkham and former kids' TV presenter Sarah Greene.
Once again the main requirement of taking part in this series is having 'ex' or 'former' as part of your current job description. Dancing On Ice has proved a massive success in the past and I'm sure this series will be no different.
Our money is on Gareth Gates (the grannies' favourite) though he will face stiff competition from the two sportsmen, who will surely have the most discipline when it comes to putting in the practice on the ice.
What do you think of the line-up and who do you think will triumph?

Bradford's being lucky in having an ice rink for years, so i would suspect that Gareth Gates may already be able to skate quite well..........
Posted by: rawcliffehank on Tue Nov 27 05:04PM | Report abuseSome real surprises in the lineup, can't believe some of them especially Aggie MacKenzie but then there's life in us old dogs yet so she may surprise everyone!! My money is on Gareth also if he can skate, but then Greg Rusedski grew up in Canada where all kids play ice hockey from an early age so he will be quite at home on skates I should think. All around it should be a great show and has been my favourite of the 'Reality ' shows all along.

Posted by: johnny_cullen on Tue Nov 27 05:10PM | Report abuseI think that this is a good line up. Most of the people are going to be fighting over that prize but I think Gareth Gates or Suzanne Shaw will win.

Posted by: gemmaj20 on Tue Nov 27 10:42PM | Report abuseI'm note sure about the line up this year. Certainly not a lot of "famous" people appearing. Early days on how looks like favourite to win but I would go for Tim Vincent from the men and Suzanne Shaw from the women! We'll see!
Posted by: mclachlan4 on Wed Nov 28 09:46AM | Report abuseCan't wait, watching I'm a Celebrity constantly and now straight into Dancing on Ice, these are great shows and keep them coming. The Line up looks great and I will be glue'd as usual. I have to go for Gareth Gates as the grannies favourite. That's me to a tee'eeeeeee'

Posted by: deb_peart on Wed Nov 28 08:07PM | Report abusePeople like chelseabell sum up why these programmes are utter garbage. She has already decided she's voting for Chris Fountain before the programme even starts. That seems perfectly fair and logical.....NOT!
