Dancing on Ice (series 15)

The fifteenth series of Dancing on Ice began airing on ITV on 15 January 2023.[1][2][3] During the finale of the fourteenth series, it was announced that Dancing on Ice had been renewed for another series.[4][5] The series was once again filmed in the purpose-built studio at Bovingdon Airfield, which was set up for the tenth series.[6][7] Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby returned to present the series, whilst Christopher Dean, Jayne Torvill, Ashley Banjo and Oti Mabuse also returned to the judging panel.[8][9][10][11] This series decreased the number of live shows to nine weeks instead of ten, and featured one less celebrity contestant than usual.[12]

Series chronology

For the first time in the shows history, Torvill and Dean were unable to perform the Boléro, as Torvill suffered an arm injury, which she later confirmed, that she had ruptured her bicep in training, and would require surgery.[13]

This series also saw Nile make history, as he became the first ever male skater to perform the dangerous manoeuvre "the headbanger", which sees the skater being picked up by their ankle, then spun round by their partner.[14]

Professional skaters

On 28 October 2022, the professional skaters returning from the previous series were announced as Matt Evers, Alexandra Schauman, Łukasz Różycki, Mark Hanretty, Vanessa Bauer, Brendyn Hatfield and Tippy Packard, along with Colin Grafton who received a partner for the first time.[15] Andy Buchanan, Robin Johnstone, Angela Egan, Joe Johnson, and reigning champion Karina Manta did not return.[16] They were replaced by Sylvain Longchambon, who received a partner for the first time since the eleventh series, Klabera Komini and Vicky Ogden, both of whom last appeared in the thirteenth series, as well as new skater Olivia Smart.[17][18] Komini and Smart both received partners, whilst Ogden took part in professional group routines and was used as a reserve professional.[19][20]

Couples

On 3 October 2022, Patsy Palmer was announced as the first celebrity to be participating in the series.[21][22][23] More celebrities continued to be revealed throughout the week before the line-up was concluded on 11 October.[24][25] Due to the series being a week shorter than usual, only eleven couples competed, the fewest since the second series in 2007.[26]
