The new celebrity line-up for Dancing On Ice has been revealed.

The 12 contestants will include pop singer Gareth Gates, Ex-Hear'Say singer Suzanne Shaw, Tennis star Greg Rusedski and TV presenter Sarah Greene.

Singer Samantha Mumba, former Page Three model Linda Lusardi, former Olympic medallist Steve Backley and TV cleaning guru Aggie Mackenzie will also be battling it out on the ice

The line-up is completed by GMTV's Michael Underwood, Hollyoaks actor Chris Fountain, and TV presenters Natalie Pinkham and Tim Vincent.

All of the stars have already picked up injuries during their secret training sessions, including twisted knees and bruised legs.

Lusardi, 49, broke a bone in her foot during a nasty fall: "I dislocated my foot and broke a metatarsal - hence the granny shoes. I had to spend Christmas without my high heels, which was more traumatic than breaking my foot!"

She added: "I've missed about six weeks of training so I'm a little bit behind but I'm catching up fast."

The show begins on January 13 with Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby presenting.

The contestants are again being tutored by Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, who predicted this year's series will be fiercely fought.
