Dancing on Ice: The Class of 2012

This Sunday sees a new batch of semi well known faces and vaguely well known names strap on their skates and take to the ice. Dancing on Ice has been the surprise of ITV1's winter weekend schedules for a while now and even you're not the biggest fan of Lycra, celebrity dancers or series with panto style judges then maybe the fact that one of those vaguely familiar faces may break an ankle, cheekbone or neck may be enough reason for you tune in.
