The lineup for the new series of Dancing On Ice has been revealed and includes Comedy Dave.
Coronation Street star Steven Arnold, whose character Ashley Peacock was recently killed in the tram crash, will compete in this year's show, alongside Kerry Katona, Jeff Brazier and rapper Vanilla Ice.
Loose Women's Denise Welch will also take to the rink, as well as former newsreader Angela Rippon, ex-EastEnders star Sam Attwater and Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe.
Chloe Madeley, Neighbours star Craig McLachlan, cricketer Dominic Cork and David Vitty - Comedy Dave from Chris Moyles's Radio 1 show - will further star in the ITV skating show. Actress Nadia Sawalha, Nickelodeon presenter Laura Hamilton and Ellen Rives - Frank Lampard's ex-girlfriend - are also among the 16 contestants.
Soldier Lance Corporal Johnson Beharry, who won the Victoria Cross in 2005, completes the cast - marking the first time a competitor has come from outside the world of sport and entertainment.
However, in a new twist, only 12 skaters will make it through to the competition stage, meaning four celebrities will be voted off before they even get the chance to compete.
Emma Bunton, Jason Gardiner and Robin Cousins will return as judges, while Karen Barber will now act as head coach to the contestants. Nicky Slater was axed from the panel last month.
According to a News of The World leak, Kerry Katona is the highest paid star to appear, being paid £60,000. According to show sources, some of the Dancing On Ice Stars are not happy that some celebrities are getting paid more than others. This years wages for the show is one of the lowest according to a source on Dancing On ice, with Radio 1 presenter on the Chris Moyles show, Comedy Dave only receiving £20,000.
Trailing Kerry Katona are Loose Women star Denise Welch and Coronation Street actor Steven Arnold, who will each receive £50,000. Most of the remaining contestants, including Chloe Madeley, ex-newsreader Angela Rippon and rapper Vanilla Ice, will earn £40,000.
Meanwhile, EastEnders star Sam Attwater, Nickelodeon presenter Laura Hamilton, and "Comedy Dave" will each receive the lowest payment of £20,000.
The new series of Dancing On Ice starts with two specials on January 9 and January 16 and two celebrities will be axed during each show.
