DANCING ON ICE 2019 START DATE

How much do Dancing on Ice celebrity and professional skaters paid?

Salaries for those who take part in the show are reportedly between £20,000 and £100,000.

But former contestant Cheryl Baker said the money “was not great”. 

The Bucks Fizz singer admitted she took part in the show last year to help pay off her mortgage.

The 63-year-old said last year: “The money is not great in my opinion. I’ve been training six days a week since October. If you make it to the final it is a six-month project, so the money isn’t much in comparison.

WHAT HAPPENED TO BRIAN MCFADDEN? WHAT WAS HIS DANCING ON ICE INJURY?

“In this industry, you can go months at a time without a job though. You can’t turn the work down.

“I have to work. I have a mortgage and bills to pay. I’m not a saver, I never have been.”

It is not known whether the professional skaters rake in any more money during each series.

But it is well known the highest paid star in Dancing on Ice history was Baywatch star Pamela Anderson, who got £150,000 in 2013. 

As there are so many pairings at the start of the series, only six of the twelve couples will take to the ice for week one of the new series.

ARE JAYNE TORVILL AND CHRISTOPHER DEAN MARRIED?

Who will win Dancing on Ice 2019?

Former Strictly Come Dancing professional James Jordan has been named as one of the favourites to win this year’s competition.

Love Island star Wes Nelson is another name being touted by the bookies to win the show.

There has also been lots of drama on the programme this year after Brian McFadden injured his shoulder shortly before his Dancing on Ice debut in the second week. 

Speaking about his injury, McFadden said at the time: “This is really frustrating for me because for week I’ve been nervous about getting here and nervous about just doing my first dress rehearsal in the studio.

“I do it and I love it and I was so happy, so relaxed, ready to go and this stupid shoulder has literally put me right back to the start again. But now I’m nervous and I don’t know what’s gonna happen.”

He continued: “It’s so annoying cause all the work I’ve put in to get here and I felt so good after the dress rehearsal I was like ‘yes I’m ready to go’ and then now to possibly not even being able to do the show because of an injury.

“So annoying. So frustrating. And such a stupid thing to do as well. If I’d have fallen over on my skates or something but just to have been practicing lifts and pop out a shoulder is ridiculous.

“Right now it’s not my decision it’s gonna be the physio’s decision. She’s gonna look at it in the morning and if she’s happy for me to skate then I’ll do it but we’re probably gonna have to fix a few things because there a lot of things where I lift her straight above my head so we are gonna have to alter the routine going on how my shoulder is in the morning.”

However, the Westlife singer is now back on course and competing in the show and hoping to go far.

Dancing on Ice airs on ITV on Sundays at 6pm
