Suzanne ShawSuzanne ShawWhat could Gareth Gates have in common with a tennis ace?

They'll be going head on to see who's hot enough to sizzle on ice.

That's right.

Gareth and Greg Rusedski are just two of the stars who are confirmed in the line-up for ITV's Dancing On Ice.

Joining them, among others are Hollyoaks' Chris Fountain, Sarah Greene, former Hear'Say singer Suzanne Shaw, model Linda Lusardi and singer Samantha Mumba.

Seems some have already felt the chill of the ice as Linda revealed she's nursing a skating injury.

She said: "I dislocated my foot and broke a metatarsal - hence the granny shoes. I had to spend Christmas without my high heels, which was more traumatic than breaking my foot.

"I've missed about six weeks of training so I'm a little bit behind but I'm catching up fast."

Another lady ready to rock the rink is How Clean Is Your House? star Aggie MacKenzie, who said: "I've had lots of injuries. I have to wear a permanent support on my left knee.

"I've got bruised ribs, a sore back, and I can't turn over in bed without groaning."

The show, which begins this Sunday, 13th January, is presented by Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, while skating pros Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean will be tutoring the contestants.
