Hello and welcome to the launch show of Twists and Sequins on Ice. Fourteen contestants are waiting to find out who they will partner in this second series, and fourteen contestsants are probably wondering what they have let themselves in for!

They are all competing for the Ice Ball, a trophy won last series by Niall and Melanie Lambert. Will it be a second title for Melanie opr will another professsional see their name be added to the trophy.

Let's get started and reveal who is skating with who.

So we have our partnerships, well as you know you have been split into two groups. Which group skates first and which skates second. Well tune it tomorrow and all will be revealed.

And before anyone starts worrying about facing Jason Gardiner, well don't worry, he is no longer with the show. Three of our judges from last eries return, and we have two new additions to the panel.

Can't say too much about them yet though.

In the meantime good luck to all of our contestants and their professional skaters.

Your contestant profiles and pro skater section of the website has now been updated

Youll find out at 20:30 hours tomorrow if u will skate on Monday or Tuesday. I hope u are all ready and have picked good song choices as u now have a 1 in 7 chance of leaving rather than 1 in 14 so the competition is much tougher for the first two shows until u will all merge on show 3 on Wednesday

Can we reveal the judges Ash
