Suzanne Shaw, who shot to fame after winning the ITV reality TV show Popstars with the group Hear'Say, has also signed up to compete.

She will be joined by Sarah Greene, best known for presenting BBC children's show Going Live, former Hollyoaks actor Chris Fountain and ex-Emmerdale actress Linda Lusardi.


Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby return as hosts

Aggie Mackenzie, who fronts the Channel 4 show How Clean is your House?, GMTV reporter Michael Underwood, sports presenter Natalie Pinkham and javelin star Steve Backley complete the line-up.

Each celebrity is trained and coached by a professional skating partner and must compete for viewers' votes each week to remain in the competition.

Rugby player Kyran Bracken was crowned champion last year.

The stars will take to the ice rink for the first time in front of the audience on Sunday from 1750 GMT.

Clare last year was really good on the ice but she didn't win cause they saw Kiran develop over the weeks where Clare pushed to hard.. Maybe Chris will make the same mistake??

Samantha Mumba may be forced to withdraw from Dancing On Ice after collapsing at her London home.

The Irish singer fell victim to an unknown illness shortly before setting off for a rehearsal for the ITV1 ice-skating contest.

She is believed to have been placed on a drip after appearing to be suffering severe flu symptoms and dehydration.

Her spokesperson said: "She is very sick but we are crossing our fingers that everything is OK."

A source told the Mirror that Mumba is now resting and is determined to recover in time for the show's launch on Sunday.

Hollyoaks star Chris Fountain was injured in rehearsals for the series earlier this week.

Dancing On Ice starts on Sunday at 5.50pm on ITV1.
