Duncan James (Blue)
Clare Buckfield (Declan Donnelly's ex)
Phil Gayle (Big Breakfast newsreader)
Kay Burley (Sky News)
Lee Sharpe (Love Island)
Ulrika Jonsson (Gladiators)
Kyran Bracken (England rugby player)
Lisa Scott-Lee (Steps)
Stephen Gately (Boyzone)
Emily Symons (Emmerdale)
Neil Fox (Pop Idol)

Sarah Greene (Phillip's co-host from Going Live! has pulled out for family reasons and wont be replaced)

...and it is an official list, because there is a picture of them all in today's Daily Star together.

Personally I think its an extremely poor list.

I thought Kay Burley might do it as she has interviewed T&D a few times.

They don't mention Duncan James though.

What's with this habit of not replacing a celeb that pulls out. First Just the Two of us, now Dancing on Ice.

Digital Spy news: New 'Dancing On Ice' contestants announced

Thanks for that, Interesting list.

Emily Symons is my early favourite, So that rules her out of winning this thing

rumour has emily dancing with Dan Whiston - mainly because Dan has been spotted at Bradford Ice Rink and with Emily being Bradford area based

Other rumour is Pam is with Neil Fox and Kristina with Stephen Gately

Just a note Pam, Jonathan, Matt, Dan and Kristina are now all Blueroom members and have promised webchats and contact stuff during series

is Kristina the dead cute one who sounds like a chipmonk?

What's Blueroom?

Disapointing list. They just had to put a soapstar in there didnt they? Also think they're trying do the whole Strictly Come Dancing lineup with Lisa Scott Lee being a cheaper version of Emma Bunton, Kyran Bracken being and equally unknown Mark Ramp and Lee Sharpe being the typical reality TV whore figure.

I thought Clare Buckfield had been drafted in to replace Sarah Greene?

Either way I bet there is a very disgruntled pro out there who won't be too pleased about not getting to appear on the show. Maybe they will be kept on standby in case a nother pro is injured?

Foxy is defiantly dancing with Pam. They were spotted together as was posted on the Blue Room.

Is it confirmed that Jonathon is taking part?

well he told us he is!!!

Oh, good! Great to hear it!

DS admins, will this dancing on ice board be pulled out of here and put on the main index? maybe in place of SCD?

i wish they would get rid of holly willoughby, she really annoys me on DOI for some reason but when she was doing that old saturday show she was fine!

Yes. She's Canadian, but married.

There is a thread on her here:

Kristina and Steven have been seperated for quite a while now, and she's just as attractive in person.

I am looking forward to the new series. I was a big Boyzone fan in my teens and Stephen Gately was my favourite so nice to see him as a contestant.

And the gorgeous Phillip Schofield is presenting which is great so will be keeping an eye on that for my schofieldfans site

I think Lisa will be great but I don't think she will win as you aren't allowed to be talented anymore!

You have to be complete cr4p and then slightly improve in order to win these shows!

I prefer to vote on talent though.

Lisa is tiny and will be able to great lifts and tricks, like bonnie langford.

I just hope she doesn't make it look too easy (the ultimate crime in these type of shows!

haha, i can't believe what i've just done...i stumbled into this thread from the main page, and thought it was for celebrity Big Brother, and i'd got all worked up about it

what an idiot

but i love dancing on ice, too

When does it start?

Saturday, 20th January. Been put back a week as Sarah Greene dropped out.

Has the press release had clare buckfield as 'Declan Donnelly's ex' or has the OP just put that? If that is the press release its a bit unfair as she is an actress in her own right not just someone's ex. Just wondering, just seemed a bit tight IMO!
