It will be a new look line-up for the judging panel on the new series of Dancing On Ice in 2012.
It seems after seven years ITV has decided to freshen up the show by replacing two of the judges – Emma Bunton and Jason Gardiner – who did a fine job in the time they spent on the show.

However, joining Robin Cousins on the panel in the New Year will be choreographer turned reality star Louie Spence and Olympic gold medal skater Katarina Witt.

The judging panel is not the only area of the show where we will see changes. One member of the hosting team will also depart. Christine Bleakley will replace Holly Willoughby as co-host of the new series, presenting alongside Phillip Schofield.

The new series of Dancing On Ice will kick off on January 8, ITV 1.
