What more could a TV connoisseur possibly ask for?

And this year’s Dancing On Ice is the biggest series so far, with 13 brave celebrities willing to risk life and limb (well, all right, maybe not life, unless the producers have upped the ante more than they’re letting on) in the hope of winning our votes.

Setting out to dazzle us this time around are ex-soapies Gemma Bissix, Todd Carty and Roxanne Pallett; singers Ray Quinn and Jessica Taylor; TV presenters Coleen Nolan, Zoe Salmon, Donal MacIntyre, Melinda Messenger and Michael Underwood; actor Jeremy Edwards; and sports stars Ellery Hanley and Graeme Le Saux.
