After wowing more than one million people across the country in previous years with stunning ice performances, skating legends Jayne Torvill & Christopher Dean will embark on a sixth live UK tour of Dancing on Ice starting in Newcastle on Friday 13^th April 2012.

Torvill & Dean will be joined by Sugababe singer Heidi Range, X Factor singer Chico and reigning Dancing on Ice champion and actor Sam Attwater, Corrie's Andy Whyment and Emerdales Matt Wolfenden.

Current reigning Dancing On Ice champion and Ex-EastEnders actor, Sam Attwater displayed some of the most natural ability on the ice in the 2011 ITV1 series and live tour, working hard during each performance to impress the judging panel. Sam consistently pushed himself to achieve higher scores and more complex moves on the ice alongside his skating partner Brianne Delcourt.

Sugababes singer Heidi Range has performed at some of the UK’s biggest music venues and, with skating partner Andrei Lipanov, her winning smile and increasing confidence has gained her high scores on the ITV1 show every Sunday night.

Former X Factor contestant Chico is no stranger to performing in front of millions of people on television and is now proving to be one of the TV audience and judges favourites. Consistently climbing higher up the leader board each week, Chico and his skating partner Jodeyne Higgins have proved that he is as good on the ice, as he is on the stage.

All of the celebrities will be trained and choreographed by Torvill & Dean, who will also perform routines choreographed exclusively for the live tour.
