Dancing on Ice judges Christopher Dean and Jayne Torvill have confirmed this Sunday’s episode will feature a task never before seen on the ITV show.
The skating champions, who help train the celebs as well as judge them, said the new element to the popular series will be “exciting” but could also leave the contestants feeling uneasy.
Speaking to Mirror Online, Dean said: “This week it’s dance week, so it’s all different dance styles, which is going to be exciting.
“But they’ve also got to bring something, which I’m excited about, a unique move, something that we haven’t seen on Dancing on Ice before.

“I did start off by saying, ‘something that we haven’t seen’, but I think we’ve seen everything there is to be seen on the ice!”
The 62-year-old star continued: “The originality is what we haven’t seen on the ice before and so I think it’s going to be great for the viewers because they’re all trying to do something that maybe is a little bit out of their comfort zone and so who knows what’s going to happen!”

Torvill then revealed: “And they have to name their move as well,” which Dean said will be “interesting”.
Following the news that comedian Matt Richardson will be replacing Rufus Hound as a contestant on the ice, Dean said: “We’re glad that we’ve got a full compliment of skaters again.

“So you’ll see everyone on the ice that’s going forward from this point.”
But when asked how well he thinks 29-year-old Matt will do on the ice, Dean teased: “We’ll have to see, I’m not going to predict. I’ve got no idea what’s going to happen!”
*Dancing On Ice returns Sunday at 6pm on ITV
