Dancing on Ice is set to return in 2025, with 12 new contestants competing for the coveted trophy. From Olympic athletes to reality stars and actors, this year's line-up is being drip-fed with celebrities confirming the news over the next few days.

Dancing on Ice has confirmed the first celebrity taking part in the 2025 series. Reality TV personality Ferne McCann is the first of 12 contestants lacing up their shoes for the ITV competition show, which will return early next year.

First up in the class of 2025 is Ferne McCann, who made a name for herself appearing on The Only Way Is Essex before featuring in multiple reality shows, including her own docuseries on ITVBe. "I'm so excited," she told Good Morning Britain. "It's going to be a huge challenge but I'm excited for the glitz and glamour of the show."

Ferne McCann is the first celebrity contestant to be unveiled for next year's Dancing on Ice. The reality star revealed on Good Morning Britain on Monday that she will be putting her ice-skating skills to the test on the show.
