One thing that might limit the success of this new series is the celebrity line up announced so far. It does seem very underwhelming if they're hoping it will be a big hit again.

I think the Phil, Holly, Torvill and Dean and some of the professionals will make or break the series. Dan Whiston and Matt Evers were always very popular.

I wonder if any of the original pros will return, as some articles i've read have made it sound like it will be a whole new set of pros.

I am quite disappointed that Jason Gardiner is returning, as he always annoyed me in later series, he tries too hard to be nasty without always giving fair constructive criticism. They only need one "dance" judge, and if they've got Ashley Banjo this series then surely that would have been enough, and find another skater to be a judge, maybe get Dan Whiston if he was available or another previous pro.

I don't like quoting a tabloid as a source but here goes: www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/4851778/dancing-on-ice-2018-professional-sylviain-longchambon-brianne-matt-dan/amp/
Seems to suggest 4 of the professionals are returning with the others being new.

Wonder who will be doing the commentary, Tony Gubba did a brilliant job until he sadly passed away, can't remember who took over afterwards.

Simon Reed. Impressively Gubba continued to provide the commentary until just weeks before his death of Leukemia.

A preview of the theme tune on GMB this morning as shown in the video below. I don't think it's quite as good as the previous version.

Schofield is teasing a Dancing on Ice promo on his snapchat... wondering whether perhaps they're going to do a first play after tonights X Factor final? Wouldn't be a surprise.

Oh no Phil, Holly or anyone else in the advert... Just some animated Polar Bears

wouldn't be surprised if this ties into the Holiday's branding from ITV this year... certainly better than the BBC branding launched yesterday
