The next series of Dancing On Ice is not far off at all - and we can't WAIT to see our very own KISS presenter Perri Kiely take to the ice! Perri, who rose to fame on Britain's Got Talent in dance group Diversity, will be reunited with his Diversity dance mate Ashley Banjo, who currently sits on the judging panel.

After Perri was announced as part of the line-up in September, he's been working incredibly hard to make himself a real contender... But of course, his dance background will definitely come in handy!

Yesterday (Mon 9th Dec) saw the launch of Dancing On Ice 2020, with hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield joining the cast and judging panel at the Bovingdon Airfield in Hertfordshire.

Each of the celebrities performed a short routine with their partner, meaning it's the first time they've performed together - with Perri taking to the ice with Vanessa Bauer, who famously won her first-ever series of the show with Jake Quickenden, and came second last year with Love Island's Wes Nelson.
