The greatest show on ice is back as Dancing On Ice will return for it's 13th series in early 2021.
Phillip Schofield, 58, and Holly Willoughby, 39, are expected to return to host the hit ITV show, which was won by Joe Swash in March.
Joe, 38, lifted the trophy with professional skater Alex Murphy, with Diversity dancer Perri Kiely and partner Vanessa Bauer finishing in second place.
The full line-up for the next series will be announced very soon, with the show dropping a number of hints at the stars they've signed up on Twitter.
Posting to their 285,000 followers, the show shared teasers of four of the stars who will be taking to the ice after Christmas.
Alongside the image, they posted emojis depicting a bar of soap, a ticket, a radio, a baby's bottle, leaving fans guessing who could have signed up.
Ahead of the line-up announcement, let's take a look at the rumoured Class of 2021…
Billie Faiers
Billie Faiers, 30, has reportedly signed up for the hit show, with fans believing the baby bottle emoji in the show's teaser represents The Mummy Diaries star.
A source told The Sun Online: "Dancing on Ice bosses are excited to bring in Billie after the success of her TOWIE co-star Gemma Collins. She's set to bring fun energy to the show."
It is thought that Billie is one of the last stars to agree to compete on the show, with rumours of her appearance building in the last week.
Wayne Bridge
Footballer Wayne Bridge, 40, is thought to be slipping on the skates after becoming a hit with ITV viewers on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! viewers in 2016.
A source told The Sun Online: "Wayne amused fans in lockdown with his TikTok moves, now they'll get to see how entertaining he is on the ice."
Wayne will be cheered on by his wife Frankie Bridge, who showcased her own dance moves on Strictly Come Dancing in 2014.
Rebekah Vardy
Rebekah Vardy has reportedly accepted an offer for £50,000 to star on the next series of the ice skating show.
The 38 year old is thought to have "auditioned" for the show earlier this summer following the WAGatha Christie scandal.
A source told The Sun: "She feels ready to return to the limelight. She can't live under a shadow forever and wants to remind people she's a fun mum.
"Becky is also really good at skating. She's ready to shine."
Jason Donovan
Jason Donovan, 52, has fans convinced the soap emoji used in the teaser could be a nod to his iconic role as Scott Robinson in Neighbours.
Since quitting the Australian soap in 1989, he has become a fixture on UK television, starring on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and Strictly Come Dancing in 2006 and 2011 respectively.
A source said: "Jason is a great signing for the show as he has plenty of star power.
"He knows how to dance but if he thinks it'll be any help once he's on the ice he has another thing coming.
"He's hoping to rank higher in this show than he did on Strictly, he just needs to find out if he can stay upright once he has his skates on."
Faye Brookes
Former Coronation Street star Faye Brookes, 33, after quitting the hit soap last year.
A source said: "Faye will bring the glamour to the ice and DOI bosses are over the moon she's chosen to put her skates on this year.
"With her top class acting skills she's sure to impress the judges in the performance stakes."
Dr Alex George
Love Island star Dr Alex George, 30, is thought to have signed after a hard year working on the frontline.
The NHS doctor has been fighting the coronavirus pandemic and heartbreakingly lost his younger brother last month.
Alex was spotted at auditions earlier this year, with it being believed he could have signed on the dotted line in recent weeks.
Denise Van Outen
Denise Van Outen is thought to be a last minute addition to the line-up, replacing Katie Price after she was forced to pull out.
The Masked Singer UK star Denise, 46, is said to have wowed judges after Katie broke both of her legs on a holiday to Turkey.
It is believed that Denise, who has performed on stages on the West End and Broadway, could be snapping up £40,000 if she heads to the rink.
Luke Trotman
Dr Alex George might not be the only Love Island star heading to the ice next year, with 2020 runner-up Luke Trotman said to have signed up.
Love Island stars typically do well on the show with Kem Cetinay and Nes Welson both landing in the final.
The 23 year old was spotted leaving auditions with Denise and Wayne, sparking rumours he has signed up alongside them.
Baga Chipz
RuPaul's Drag Race star Baga Chipz is thought to be the first ever drag queen to take to the ice.
The 30 year old, whose real name is Leo Loren, has recently collaborated with former Dancing On Ice contestant Saara Aalto on a new single after previously hitting number one on the iTunes chart as part of drag queen girl group The Frock Destroyers.
A friend of the performer said: "Baga has told us she thinks she's in with a shot of appearing on Dancing on Ice.
"She would love to prove her worth. She's a natural entertainer and would be brilliant on that show."
Rufus Hound
Rufus Hound, 41, was reportedly one of the last stars to sign up to star on Dancing On Ice before rehearsals begin next month.
Producers are said to be "delighted" to have signed up the comedian and former Celebrity Juice regular.
An insider said: "Dancing On Ice are putting together one of their most eclectic line-ups ever and bosses are delighted to have got Rufus onboard."
Lady Leshurr
Lady Leshurr is thought to have completed the line-up, becoming the last star to sign alongside Rufus.
The 30 year old rapper rose to fame on YouTube and is familiar to ITV viewers from her time on panel show Don't Hate The Playaz.
A source said of her and Rufus: "Neither of them are going to play it safe – on the show or on the ice. The next series is certainly not going to be light on entertainment."
Colin Jackson
Colin Jackson, 53, is said to be determined to reach the final of the hit ITV show early next year.
An insider said: "Colin is a real coup for Dancing On Ice as they already know he has moves.
"But being on skates means he's unlikely to have any advantage over other contestants as it's a tricky surface to master."
