Dancing On Ice has returned to our Sunday night TV after three years being off air.
The celebrities - who had already been undergoing strict training with their professional partners - are now showing off the newly rehearsed skating skills every Sunday night.
Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby are back presenting, with skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean taking on the role of judges along with choreographer Jason Gardiner and Diversity’s Ashley Banjo.
Three contestants have already been booted off the competition. So far Candice Brown, Stephanie Waring and Perri Shakes-Drayton have left the series.
Here's a run down of the contestants competing in this year's series...

RATE YOUR SKATE: Probably a four. It’s my favourite number.

SKATING ON THIN ICE? What if they say something horrible and I cry?
Brooke admitted that it had "killed" her to keep it a secret, adding that she had been on a health and fitness binge since finding out the news.
"I've been trying to lose a few pounds to get into those leotards," she said before speaking about her skating skills - which she said weren't exactly up to par yet.
"I'm a bit like a bull in a china shop," she admited.

WHO IS HE? Winner of ITV’s Love Island in 2017.
RATE YOUR SKATE: I want to win.
WHAT HE SAYS: I’d love to do TV presenting one day, like Rylan.
SKATING ON THIN ICE? If I fall over, do I get up? Or do I just lie on the ice?
He said: " I still can't believe I'm going to be on Dancing on Ice! Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd be strapping on a pair of skates and dancing in some lycra. Anyone who knows me will know how competitive I am, so I'm going to work very hard to stay on my feet! I can't wait to get my skates on."
And he's clearly excited as he took to Twitter after the news was announced, to say: "Dancing on ice lets ave it"

SKATING ON THIN ICE: I’ve got good co-ordination, but I’m clumsy.
Speaking about the news, he said: "I’m terrified. I had my first training session yesterday. I was freezing, I went in a t-shirt. Ice is cold.
"It was amazing. The coach was unbelievable."
He added: "I'm more worried about injuring my dance partner. The last thing I want to do is kick anyone in the face with skates on or drop my partner.
"I’m more nervous about Jason [Gardiner]. I’ve met him before and he was lovely but I wasn’t ice skating in front of him."

RATE YOUR SKATE: I’m a five now, I’d like to be an eight to 10.
WHAT HE SAYS: I prefer to be showing a bit more skin.
SKATING ON THIN ICE? I like to think the ladies will be impressed by my dance moves.
He said: "I haven't done any skating since I was a kid, and this is completely different having to skate on live television. I've had two training sessions which have hurt my feet a lot. We've all had a dance, which is familiar territory, but skating is so not..."

Speaking about the news, he said: "I literally started training on Tuesday so I'm at the beginning of my journey. I'm actually finding out who my partner is after this show so I'm really excited. I've wanted to do this show for ages. It's been the biggest secret I've ever kept."

"I came across Kem from Love Island and we saw each other at the ice rink.
"He saw my skills, I saw his skills... I’m better than him.
