Dancing on Ice is all set for a spectacular comeback on our screens tonight, with Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern returning as hosts.
The popular ice-skating contest will see the return of ice-dance royalty Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean to the judging panel, joined by TV personalities Ashley Banjo and Oti Mabuse.
With the celebrities honing their routines in preparation for the live show, tensions are high to steer clear of the dreaded skate off.
In a pre-launch setback, Steve Redgrave has been dealt a harsh prediction by online bookmaker Betway, which has pegged him as the contestant most likely to be eliminated first.

The 62 year old retired Olympic rower, who boasts an impressive record of five gold medals across five consecutive Olympic Games, is teamed up with professional skater Vicky Ogden, whom he has praised as “fantastic”, reports the Mirror.
Despite his sporting prowess, odds are not in his favour, with current betting placing him at 40/1 to be the first to exit the competition, while comedian Josh Jones is also at risk with odds of 20/1.
On the flip side, Mollie Pearce is tipped as the frontrunner to win. The TV star, known for her stint on last year’s The Traitors series, is leading the pack with odds of 4/1, closely followed by Love Island’s Chris Taylor at 9/2.

Betway spokesperson Mike Reading said: “Dancing on Ice 2025 already looks to promise an exciting yet nerve-wracking watch as stars take on a new challenge they’ve never faced before and try not to experience a blunder on the ice.
“Now the celebrities and professionals are matched up and the training is well underway, we make Mollie Pearce the early favourite to win, despite having a month off the ice due to injury.
“Also, toward the top of the early betting to win include Love Island star Chris Taylor (9/2) , Coronation Street regular Sam Aston (9/2), and The Only Way is Essex star Dan Edgar (5/1). Fellow TOWIE star, Ferne McCann, is also taking to the ice with odds of 8/1 – creating the battle of the Essex locals!”
Dancing on Ice airs on ITV and ITVX.
