The Dancing on Ice line-up for 2021
Since the celebrity skateathon crash-landed onto our screens in January, it has been testing the nerve of a new cast of famous faces. The 13th series has been beset by bad luck, as injury and Covid dropouts have taken their toll. And now the show has announced that the final will be moved forward by one week to Sunday 14 March.
The contestants have been following a strict set of rules in keeping with the government's social distancing guidelines, training separately on local ice rinks and maintaining bubbles with their professional skating partners. The show looks different too, with judges boxed in behind perspex screens and pairs kept apart backstage.
