Dancing On Ice set for major revamp in bid to boost the ratings

DANCING On Ice is set for a multi-million-pound makeover next year with bosses going all out to sex up the show.

The sixth series will be moved to a huge custom-made ice rink in Buckinghamshire to make it even more spectacular and get a big crowd in for the shows.

Two "bigger and bolder" new ice rinks - a training rink and a studio rink - will be built at Pinewood movie studio, according to an ITV source.

And bosses are lining up an all-star cast, including Coronation Street's Samia Smith, 28, ex-Strictly professional Matt Cutler, 36, and reality star Kerry Katona, 30.

ITV declined to comment on the format changes, with a spokeswoman saying it was "too early to give precise details".

The last series of Dancing On Ice regularly pulled in more than eight million viewers, with nearly nine million tuning in for March's final, when Hayley Tammadon, 33, walked away with the winner's crown.
