The Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern fronted show will feature a string of soap stars and a Paralympian in the 2025 cast.

And now their pro partners have been revealed too, but Amani Fancy who won the show earlier this year with Ryan Thomas isn’t included.

There are two new pros in the mix Eric Radford and Molly Lanaghan – who can be seen in the new image of the pros, shared on the official Dancing On Ice social media.

A glam photo of all the DOI stars was shared, much to the delight of fans, and the caption read: “Give a warm welcome to our #DancingOnIce Pro Skaters!”

Pros returning include Andy Buchanan, Annette Dytrt, Brendyn Hatfield, Colin Grafton, Mark Hanretty, Sylvain Longchambon, Tippy Packard, Vanessa Bauer, Vanessa James and Vicky Ogden.

But fan attention has quickly turned to the absence of the last series winner, as one person questioned: “No Amani??? Im gonna miss her!”

Another said: “What a team, but gutted Amani isn’t going to be a part of it.”

Amani commented on the post, writing: “amazing cast of pros! So happy to see my @mollylanaghanx on here

And fans are already guessing which pro will be partnered with which celeb.

In series 17, which will launch next year, famous faces include Charlie Brooks, Sam Aston, Mollie Pearce and Michaela Strachan.

Dame Sarah Story was the final celebrity announced and spoke out on ITVs Lorraine.

The British cyclist and swimmer, who was born without a functioning left hand and won a raft of medals at the Tokyo games in 2016, said: Im excited to learn a new skill and have the opportunity to put myself out there and learn a new sport.

Also appearing on Heart Radio to confirm his place on the show was Love Island legend Chris Taylor who admitted he is terrified of the rink.

But former Love Island star Chris Taylor has irritated fans by joining the class of 2025 after being on everything.

Comedian Josh Jones joins the ice extravaganza and admitted on Gaydio radio station last week: Ive not got any skating experience whatsoever.

My dancing isnt great either, for a gay man I have no rhythm, I struggle to clap along to a beat so this will be fun.

Coronation Street actor Sam Aston, 31, is joining the rink.

He said about his DOI audition: They basically stand you on the ice. But I got a real buzz experiencing it a little bit.

He added: Its nice for the public to see me as me and not Chesney!

Professional rower and Type 2 Diabetic Sir Steve Redgrave will also be joining the competition. He told This Morning hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard that he will be the the oldest and heaviest in the cast, but is keen to keep fit and healthy.
