Dancing on Ice insider

Yes, the glitziest show on the planet is back, and so are our exclusive insider snaps! 

We popped backstage during Sunday's first ice extranganza - take a look at these sneaky pics...

Here's Donal And Mel. Say 'cheese' chaps! They might be quaking in their skates, but you'd never know it with those Hollywood smiles...

Wow! Gemma and Coleen look every inch the ice superstars in their diamante-clad dresses. We can't wait to see them in action on Sunday!

Here's some serious faces. Yes the boys nervously wait their turn out on the ice, whilst the girls just look nervous. It must be thought of coming face-to-face with Judge Jason...

Look everyone! It's the kids from Fame! Oh no, it's Ellery, Zoe, Daniel and Roxanne in some seriously Eighties styling. We've never seen so much glitter!

Flicky barnet? Check. Pink pouty glossy lips? Check. Ray's partner Maria is ready to hit the ice. Although where The Quinnster himself might be is anyone's guess...

Oh. How unfortunate. Zoe's partner and 2008 show champ Matt has accidentally nailed his forehead to a plank of wood. Now that won't go down well with the judges...

...Never fear Matt fans, we're only teasing - this is merely an arty shot of the skate star, and no foreheads were harmed in the process. Phew!

"Hark the herald angels sing..." These stars are a bit too late for Christmas carols, but it's nice to see that they can sing as well as skate.

Oh there he is. Where has he been? Oh, the toilets. And where are they? Oh they're that way. Cheers Ray and good luck!
