Reality stars Dan Edgar and Chris Taylor are among the latest contestants announced for Dancing On Ice 2025.

Also revealed to be taking part in the ITV skating show are Hollyoaks star Chelsee Healey and wildlife presenter Michaela Strachan.

The celebrities will join previously announced contestants Steve Redgrave, comedian Josh Jones, former footballer Anton Ferdinand, former EastEnders star Charlie Brooks, reality stars Mollie Pearce and Ferne McCann, and Coronation Street actor Sam Aston.

Appearing on Heart Radio, Love Island star Taylor, 34, said: "I'm somewhere between absolutely terrified and very excited and I keep flitting between the two quite aggressively throughout the day.

"I’ve not even started stretching yet, I need to."

He added: "I can skate but my dad got the snakehips, unfortunately I didn’t inherit that genetically from him."

The Only Way Is Essex star Edgar, 34, told the radio station: "I’m looking forward to it but the thought of the live shows and performing is very real."

He added: "I like to think I can ice skate a little bit but I’m a terrible dancer so that bit is going to need some work."

Also on the radio station, Hollyoaks star Healey, 36, said: "I’m ready, I’m good to go, let’s go! I’ve got a bit of rhythm but skating on ice is completely different, I’m excited."

She added: "I’m most excited for the live shows, getting to perform live every week will give me a buzz, I can’t wait for the live shows."

Springwatch star Strachan, 58, announced her appearance on ITV show Lorraine and said: "It’s going to be a big challenge, the last time I was on ice was four years ago when I took the kids, I’m not one of those people who holds on to the sides, I guess because I was trained as a dancer I’ve got a bit of balance."

She added: "I’ve always been one of those people who says yes, I’ll do that."

Dancing On Ice returns to ITV and Virgin Media One in 2025 with a new cast of 12 celebrities.
