Jayne Torvill and Chris Dean have said that this year's Dancing On Ice will be a "close race".


The former ice-skating champions, who mentor the 14 celebrities, also said that the contestants are determined to outdo the performances from previous series.

"I think this year's cast are going to be different personalities, they are going to have different challenges and they are going to have different problems. But at the same time, I think they are going to give us a good competition this year," Torvill told the show's official website.

"I think this year we will see new things all the time and it will be interesting to see the battle between them."

Dean added: "They have watched the previous shows and they want to make this series the best ever... I think it is going to be a close race."

The Dancing On Ice launch show airs tonight at 9pm on ITV1.
