Ben Foden
Ben Foden, an English rugby player, is swapping the field for the Ice as he joins the 2022 squad. "I used to skate a little when I was a kid. I'd go to ice discos when I was 15, 16 years old and you'd always see these kids that could do pirouettes that had a proper dancing background. I like the idea of learning a new sport and a new skill," he said of his new signing. "I'm quite competitive as well so I like the challenge of competing against others doing something that I'm not necessarily good at!"
Ben Foden has been paired with professional skater Robin Johnstone.
Bez
Bez appeared on This Morning with Willoughby and Schofield to make the news while emerging from a snowball.
"At the moment it's more like Bambi on Ice, not Dancing On Ice. How I got picked I don't know because I was absolutely awful at the audition but they must have seen some potential in me!" he said. "I'm looking forward to learning a new skill and I can't wait for the Christmas ice rinks again and I can get on there and really show off."
Bez has been paired with professional skater Angela Egan.
Brendan Cole
Brendan Cole, a former Strictly pro, has signed up for season 14 of Dancing on Ice. During an appearance on ITV's Loose Women, he revealed the news, telling the panelists: "I'm so, so excited. It's been a while coming now. I've known I'd be doing the show for quite some time and I want to get started, I'm so excited to be on the show."
On his ice skating experience, he added: "I've had one go. I'm a fairly confident person and I like to think I'm going to be good at what I put my hand to or my feet to! I was a bit wobbly [when I first started]. You can expect to be a bit wobbly on Ice but I was hoping I was going to be better than I was. I've got time to learn. I'm just going to embrace the whole experience and I'm very excited to get started."
Brendan Cole has been paired with professional skater Vanessa Bauer.
Connor Ball
Ball is best known as a member of the band The Vamps, in which he plays bass. Prior to joining them, he created a reputation for himself singing cover songs on YouTube.
When he's not with the band, Ball enjoys World of Warcraft, a pastime that we admire although unlikely to benefit him on the Ice.
Connor Ball has been paired with professional skater Alexandra Schauman.
Kimberly Wyatt
Wyatt gained stardom as a member of The Pussycat Dolls, and she currently performs with Spencer Nezey in the dance pair Her Majesty & the Wolves. She will also make her stage debut in the UK Tour of Dead Lies.
Wyatt won Celebrity MasterChef in 2015 and served as a judge on the Sky1 dancing competition Got to Dance.
Kimberly Wyatt has been paired with professional skater Mark Hanretty.
Kye Whyte
Olympic BMX rider Kye Whyte has joined the 14th season lineup. The announcement was made on CBBC's Newsround, with Kye admitting, "I'm feeling good."
"I have [rollerskated] when I was younger, so we'll see how it goes," he answered when asked if he'd ever skated.
Kye Whyte has been paired with professional skater Tippy Packard.
Liberty Poole
Liberty Poole, from Love Island, has joined the cast for the 14th season.
Liberty, who left the seventh season of the ITV reality dating show, said of her new challenge: "I ice skate as a hobby sometimes, so I can get around the rink. But I can't do any tricks, no pirouetting or anything, so I'm really looking forward to pushing myself and learning as much as I possibly can. Not just skating around the Ice but actually dancing on Ice. Bring it on!"
Liberty Poole has been paired with professional skater Joe Johnson.
Rachel Stevens
A former S Club 7 star, Rachel Stevens, has joined the cast for the 14th season.
On Tuesday, October 5, the news was delivered on ITV's This Morning.
"It now feels really real, this is really happening. I'm so excited, obviously really nervous. It's one of those things, until you do it you don't know what's going to happen," Rachel told Willoughby and Schofield. When asked if she had ever skated before, she replied: "Only with the Penguin with my kids – you know, every Christmas. I did it when I was 10 [years old] and dabbled in it for a little bit and I really loved it but I'm very wobbly."
Rachel Stevens has been paired with professional skater Brendyn Hatfield.
Regan Gascoigne
Regan Gascoigne, the son of British footballer Paul Gascoigne, has been invited to the 2022 lineup. Regan is a trained dancer, although he dislikes skating, stating before his debut: "Obviously I dance and love dancing, but it's the skill of this. I've always wanted to do it. Always! Ever since I was a kid!"
Regan Gascoigne has been paired with professional skater Karina Manta.
Ria Hebden
Ria Hebden, an entertainment host, has joined the cast for the 14th season. The announcement was made on ITV's Lorraine, with Hebden saying: "It'll be fun. This is one of ITV's most sparkly shows so when they asked me I was like, 'Absolutely!'. We watch it at home. It will be brilliant to learn a new scary skill."
She added: "You've got to say yes to things that excite you, that are a little bit scary because that's when the growth happens - I'm hoping so anyway!"
Ria Hebden has been paired with professional skater Łukasz Różycki
Sally Dynevor
Sally Dynevor, from Coronation Street, was the first celebrity to be announced for season 14. On Lorraine, she said, "I've never skated before," when asked whether she had. "No never! I went with Hattie [her daughter] when she was little and I had a penguin and then thought this is too hard so I'll go and get a coffee!"
She added: "This is a massive challenge, Lorraine. It really, really is. I'm not getting any younger, I've just got to take every opportunity I get so that when I'm old I can say you know what? I gave it a go."
Sally Dynevor has been paired with professional skater Matt Evers.
Stef Reid
Stef Reid, a track and field Paralympian, is the third celebrity to be announced for the Dancing on Ice 2022 cast.
She had this to say about her new signing: "I'm going to be picking up a new sport this winter and it comes with a little bit of showbiz. I'm going to be a contestant on Dancing on Ice and it's a little bit scary but I cannot wait!"
Stef Reid has been paired with professional skater Andy Buchanan.
