Pamela Anderson, Lauren Goodger and Shayne Ward are just among the contestants who are set to strut their way on the ice floor next year on Dancing On Ice.
Rumors have it that former Baywatch star Pamela would be joining the show upon its return on Sunday January 6, with the news officially confirmed by the channel on Tuesday morning.
And 45-year-old Pamela, who will be skating with partner Matt Evers, has revealed she is itching to get started.
She said: 'I'm so excited to take part!'
But Pamela is going to have a strong competition from other contestants, which included the likes of ex TOWIE star Lauren Goodger.
The 26-year-old ITV2 reality star was wearing a black tasseled outfit in the official portrait shots for the series, confessed how terrified she got for having to perform the routines on live television.
All of the contestants already prepared for the competition earlier this year so that they could be competent during the live show.
Anthea Turner, who has hit headlines in recent months because of claims that her husband Grant Bovey had an affair, is trying her best to put the scandal behind her and concentrate on furthering her own career.
But Anthea confessed how she suffered her share of injuries when she started ITV1 dancing talent show.
When asked about the number of bruises she had suffered since she began practicing, she said: 'I am not sure, but I have got a massive one on my bum and some on my legs from the lifts!'
Former X Factor winner Shayne Ward, who recently starred in hit West End musical Rock Of Ages, is also set to compete.
The 28-year-old left the show because he wants to concentrate on recording new material, but seems to have his heart set on this new challenge.
Former MP and labour politician Oona King is also set to participate in the dance off, a very different competition than when she went up against Ken Livingstone for her chance to run for London Mayor.
Perhaps she want to follow on the footsteps of Louis Smith, who currently stars on Strictly Come Dancing, fellow Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle will take her chance and compete on the ITV1 dancing show and so will Olympic boxer Like Campbell.
Soap stars Samia Ghadie, who plays Maria Connor in Coronation Street, and Matt Lapinskas who played Anthony Moon in EastEnders are also part of the line-up.
Funnyman Joe Pasquale will also be seen on the ITV show by Welsh rugby player Gareth Thomas, both of whom will be vying for public votes.
The show which will be presented by Phillip Schofield and Christine Bleakley, also sees the return of a sharp-tongued judge Jason Gardiner.
Australian Gardiner got famous when he described watching swimming champion Sharron Davies dance as looking at 'faecal matter that won't flush', started as a judge when the show launched in 2006.
He also goes charge for bullying former judge Karen Barber by telling her: 'If your opinion still mattered, you'd be on the panel.'
