Dancing on Ice 2023: Where is the ITV show filmed?
11 celebrities are set to take to the rink in a matter of hours and show off their skating skills in a bid to become Dancing on Ice’s 2023 champion.
As Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield get their glitz and glam on, the celebs are looking to impress judges Ashley Banjo, Jayne Torvill, Oti Mabuse and Christopher Dean.
And while there have been plenty of injuries so far this series, they’re all determined to follow in the footsteps of 2022 champion Regan Gascoigne and skate off with the trophy.
This year’s line-up includes Love Island star Ekin-Su Culculoglu, Towie’s Joey Essex, former footballer John Fashanu, Corrie’s Mollie Gallagher, Michelle Heaton and Darren Harriot.
They’re joined by The Wanted’s Siva Kaneswaran, Patsy Palmer, The Vivienne, Hollyoaks’ Carley Stenson and Oympic gymnast Nile Wilson.
But where is Dancing On Ice 2023 filmed?
Since its return in 2018 Dancing On Ice has moved out to Hertfordshire, and is filmed on a specially constructed rink at RAF Bovingdon, near Hemel Hempstead.
The airfield is no stranger to TV and film, having also played host to such blockbusters as Rogue One, as well as Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows – and it’s also home to The Masked Singer.
Phil said of the new set in 2018 when the show returned: ‘Yes it has ice in the centre of it and there is a competition but it will look and feel different.’
‘There is a new studio, Jayne and Chris are on the panel and that frees up our professional dancers to choreograph.’
Dancing On Ice returned in 2018 after being axed in 2014, with the series first starting back in 2006 on ITV.
When it first began, the programme was filmed at the George Lucas Stage at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire.
Dancing On Ice begins on ITV1 on Sunday January 15 at 6.30pm.
