Only months to go before we see Dancing on Ice back on our TV screens, Phillip Schofield has teased fans with a few snaps from set - most likely during a promotional shoot. The This Morning host was joined by on-screen partner Holly Willoughby as well as professional ice skaters Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean and newcomer Ashley Banjo, who will all sit on the judging panel alongside returning judge Jason Gardiner. Each week, the beloved ITV series will see celebrities and their professional skaters perform on the ice in a bid to impress both the panel and the viewers at home.

Holly added: "I'm so excited to be returning to a show that I love so much! Working with Jayne and Chris is always such an honour and it's even more special as it's the show that Phil and I first worked on together.
