Le Saux among skaters on ITV show

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield will return to host the ITV1 show

Former footballer Graeme Le Saux and X Factor runner-up Ray Quinn are among the 13 celebrities competing in the latest series of ITV's Dancing on Ice.

Others include investigative reporter Donal McIntyre, soap star Todd Carty and Jessica Taylor, of Liberty X fame.

GMTV reporter Michael Underwood, forced to withdraw from last year's show, will be trying his luck again on the ice.

Former Hear'Say star Suzanne Shaw won last year's series, beating Hollyoaks actor Chris Fountain in the final.

Actress Gaynor Faye won the first series, in 2006, while Kyran Bracken triumphed in 2007.

Jason Gardiner, Nicky Slater, Karen Barber, Ruthie Henshall and Robin Cousins will return to judge the celebrities when the latest series begins on Sunday.

Arm surgery

Skating duo Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean will also be on hand to put the stars through their paces.

However, Torvill may have to skate alone on the first show as Dean is currently recovering from arm surgery.

Other contestants on this year's series include former Blue Peter presenter Zoe Salmon, model and TV presenter Melinda Messenger and former rugby player Ellery Hanley.

Actress Gemma Bissix, actor Jeremy Edwards, former Emmerdale star Roxanne Pallett and Loose Women's Coleen Nolan complete the 2009 line-up.

This Morning's Phillip Schofield will host the show alongside Holly Willoughby, who is expecting her first child.
