Behind the scenes at Dancing on Ice

The celebs get ready for the live show

If you've always wanted to go and hang around backstage at Dancing on Ice, this might be your lucky morning. Because you can go behind the scenes at Dancing on Ice, but also remain on your sofa eating a cheese toastie in your pyjamas while you take a look at these snaps, taken behind the scenes of the show as the celebs got ready for the first episode of the show on Sunday night.
Blue Peter presenter Andy Akinwolere became the first celebrity to be voted off the new series in Sunday night's episode when he lost a skate-off against Sugababes singer Heidi Range, who's pictured having her make-up done in the snaps.

Jennifer Ellison - who showed off the results of her massive weight loss on the show - is also seen having her hair done, while former contestant Chesney Hawkes - well, we say former contestant, he never actually made it on screen - poses with his leg in a cast.

The first episide of Dancing on Ice was a bit disappointing for ITV, after the first show attracted 700,000 fewer than last year's opener. And nearly one million of the 8.6 million who first tuned in avoided the results show later, when former Blue Peter presenter Andy Akinwolere was voted off. Ouch.
New host Christine Bleakley, 32, who replaced Holly Willoughby, also failed to impress some viewers, with Twitter users calling her bland, rigid and boring.
The main show also peaked at 9.5 million, against last year's 10.7 million high, and The Skate-Off got 6.5 million compared with 2011's 7.4 million.
No pressure Bleakley, but things seemed to go better when Holly Willoughby became Holly Willoughbooby. Just a thought.
