Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent, 25
Best known for: Playing Sophie Webster in Corrie
Brooke says: "I love a challenge. Ice skating – what an amazing skill. Next year I can go with the girls and be like ‘I can do this, I can do that’ and they’ll be holding on to the sides.
"I’ve been trying to lose a few pounds to get in them leotards. I started my ice training on Saturday. If I get injured at least I’ll look sparkly on the way to the hospital!”
Singer Cheryl Baker, 63
Best known for: Winning the Eurovision Song Contest as part of Bucks Fizz with Making Your Mind Up in 1981
Cheryl says: "I've started training. It was such huge fun. I’ve never skated apart from when I was about 12. I am feeling nervous."

Ex-Rugby Star Max Evans, 34
Best known for: Winning 44 caps for Scotland.
Max says: “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…”
Reality star Kem Cetinay, 21
Best known for: Winning Love Island
Kem says: "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."
Singer Jake Quickenden, 29
Best know for: Being on The X Factor and being runner-up on I'm A Celeb in 2014

Weatherman Alex Beresford, 37

Actress Donna Air, 38
Best known for: Well, she was in Byker Grove of course!
Donna says: “It is absolutely terrifying. It’s exciting though, it’s looking like it’s going to be a great series. It’s really difficult.

Athlete Perri Shakes-Drayton, 28
Best known for: For being a top 400 metres sprinter and hurdler.
Perri says: "It is an opportunity and I was told in the past I’d never be able to run again and that was not nice to be told. Now the fact my body feels good, I’ve been given a challenge, an opportunity, I’m going to go give it my best shot."

Stephanie says: "It’s quite a daunting challenge. The first day was pretty tough. I thought I’d be better than I was. I fell over once. It’s very technical; it’s the way you hold yourself, the positioning of your feet. Balancing is the hardest thing to do. I thought ‘well I can do yoga, I can obviously skate on ice…. no Steph you can’t!”
Singer Lemar, 22

That's the complete line-up!
