Fans of Dancing On Ice will be pleased to hear that a new spin-off TV show is set to bring them all the latest news and gossip from the Borehamwood-based ITV1 show. In my blog today I take a look at this new show.

Entitled Dancing On Friday, this new spin-off show will be hosted by GMTV's Ben Shephard and Loose Women's Coleen Nolan.

Viewers will be able to tune in each Friday night during the series to watch this new show broadcast live from Elstree Studios.

Viewers are promised an exclusive behind the scenes look at all matters relating to Dancing On Ice in a programme set to be filled with celebrity guests, master classes and previews of upcoming highlights.

Torvill and Dean are also set to appear on the weekly show and will be giving their views on how the various celebrities and their partners are doing.

I am personally looking forward to seeing how well comedian Bobby Davro does on this series which is also set to include: Sir Paul McCartney's ex-wife Heather Mills, EastEnders' Danniella Westbrook and Boyzone's Mikey Graham.

Dancing On Ice Friday, which is being made by ITV Productions for ITV1, adds to an already busy schedule for Elstree Studios which is also currently home to TV productions including: Celebrity Big Brother, Dancing On Ice (the main show) and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
