Get ready to lace up those skates! *Dancing on Ice* burst onto ITV screens for its debut series on January 14th, 2006, hosted by the dynamic duo of Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby. A panel of seasoned ice experts – Nicky Slater, Karen Kresge, Jason Gardiner, Karen Barber, and Robin Cousins – took on judging duties, offering their critiques and shaping the competition. And adding a touch of legendary sparkle? None other than Olympic gold medalists Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean were on hand to coach and guide the celebrity contestants as they navigated the challenges ahead.
