The celebrity cast hoping to win the trophy and who will show off their ice-shaking skills include the likes of Love Island 2022 winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, EastEnders icon Patsy Palmer and TOWIE alum Joey Essex.
However, it seems that judge Ashley Banjo has one specific celeb that he wants the show bosses to sign up to appear on the show.
When asked if there’s a celebrity who has yet to take part in the show that he’d love to see on the ice, Ashley proclaimed: “Matt Hancock!”

Ashley, who first shot to fame as a member of the dance group Diversity, first joined Dancing On Ice in 2018.
And the 34-year-old has even admitted he’d be down to take part in the show because he “loves a challenge.”
“That’s very revealing of me because you’ve asked me ‘Would I take part?’ and all I heard was ‘Would you win it?’” He said.

“Yes, I would absolutely do it but the question is would I win it? I don’t know if I’d be good enough!”
The other celebs taking part in the latest series include John Fashanu, Nile Wilson, The Vivienne, Mollie Gallagher, Carley Stenson, Darren Harriott, Michelle Heaton and Siva Kaneswaran.
Dancing On Ice returns to ITV and ITVX at 6.30pm on January 15.
