Dancing On Ice 2008 skates into the M.E.N. Arena until 10th May

The bladed boots of the Dancing On Ice celebrities will glide into Manchester for 4 dates.

Linda Lusardi, Suzanne Shaw, Gareth Gates, Kyran Bracken, Bonnie Langford and David Seaman are among the contestants that will be trained and choreographed by legendary mentors Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, both of whom will also perform for the audience at each date.

The show's judging panel consists of Olympic gold medal winner Robin Cousins as the head of the panel of ice judges, ably supported by Nicky Slater, Karen Barber and Jason Gardiner. Andi Peters will return as compere of the live show.

Replicating the format of the TV show, the crowd will be able to use their mobiles to text in their favourite celebrity dancing couple. Audience votes will then be added to the scores from the panel of judges to decide the winner. Once the votes have been counted, the winning celebrity will join their skating partner to perform a finale. All profits from text voting will go to charity.
