Dancing On Ice 2025 is just a few months away and for two of the show’s pro skaters, it will be their last series.

Mark Hanretty, 39, and Brendyn Hatfield have revealed they’ll be leaving the series after the 2025 run.

It comes as next year’s pro skating line-up was announced this week. The Dancing On Ice contestant line-up for 2025 was revealed in October.

This week, ITV unveiled the pro skaters returning for another series.

Returning to the rink are Brendyn, Mark, Andy Buchanan, Annette Dytrt, Colin Grafton, Sylvain Longchambon, Tippy Packard, Vanessa Bauer, Vanessa James and Vicky Ogden.

This will be my last year as a pro skater and I’m eager to soak up every second of it!

Meanwhile, the show will welcome two new pros. Eric Radford and Molly Beth Lanaghan will join the new series.

However, two of the pro skaters – Brendyn and Mark – have revealed they won’t be back after the 2025 series.
