The seventh series of ITV’s Dancing on Ice gets under way on Sunday 8 January, and the participating celebrities have been revealed on the ITV website.

From the ITV programming guide:

“Phillip Schofield and Christine Bleakley present a brand new series as 15 celebrities take to the ice in a bid to be crowned Dancing on Ice Champion 2012. Ice legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean return as mentors to put the celebrities through their paces, and the standard will be higher than ever with tougher and more spectacular routines to test them over the next 12 weeks. Robin Cousins is joined in this series by two new judges – dance choreographer Louie Spence, and Olympic skating legend Katarina Witt. The first group of skaters perform tonight with the phone lines open for viewers to vote for their favourite. Who will be the first pair to face the dreaded skate off later tonight?”
