Dancing on Ice celebrities visited the Royal Pavilion Ice Rink in November to shoot the show’s opening title sequence, but the rink organisers were sworn to secrecy until the show went live.

Stars who visited the rink include singer/presenter Cheryl Baker, Scottish rugby player Max Evans, singer Lemar, model and actress Donna Air, Good Morning Britain’s Alex Beresford and track athlete Perri Shakes-Drayton.

Shella Parkin, CEO of Laine Ltd, creator of the rink said: “It was a real pleasure to host the Dancing on Ice team at the Royal Pavilion Ice Rink. We hope the programme will inspire more people to enjoy the magic of ice skating!”

The Royal Pavilion Ice Rink’s winter season runs for just one more week, up to and including Sunday, January 14.
