CHRIS FOUNTAIN, SUZANNE SHAW, ZARRAH ABRAHAMS AND GARETH GATES COMPLETE THE LINE-UP FOR 2008!
Due to long standing commitments, Chris Fountain will not appear in any Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday shows.
Suzanne Shaw has now announced she will perform in every show at The NIA.
Following the hugely successful UK tour of Dancing on Ice last year, skating legends Torvill & Dean will take to the ice across the country once more, skating in to The NIA from April 15 - 20.
Torvill & Dean will be joined by an all-star celebrity line-up. Audiences will enjoy current stars of the ITV1 Show Chris Fountain, Suzanne Shaw, Zarrah Abrahams and Gareth Gates.
Last year's reigning champion, Kyron Bracken and actress Clare Buckfield (who narrowly missed out on being crowned ice Queen) will also star alongside Bonnie Langford and David Seaman.
Andi Peters will return as compere of the live show; this time around he will present to live audiences without the help of crutches having steered clear of the ice since his ankle break last year which he sustained during practice. He went on to present the show regardless of his injury.
All of the celebrities will be trained and choreographed by mentors Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean who will perform several of their favourite routines at each show.
Olympic gold medal winner Robin Cousins will head the panel of ice judges at the rink-side. The ice panel includesKaren Barber, Nicky Slater and Jason Gardiner.
In addition, the Arena audiences will have the chance to vote. Replicating the format of the TV show, they will be able to use their mobile phones to text in their favourite celebrity dancing couple. The audience votes will then be added to the scores from the panel of ice judges to decide the winner. Once the votes have been counted, the winning celebrity will join their skating partner to perform a magical finale. As per last year, all profits from text voting will go to charity.
Tickets are priced at £45 (rinkside), £40 and £32.50 - all subject to booking/transaction fee.
