Dancing on Ice has been back on our screens with an entirely new cast for 2025 but some viewers might not remember who won the previous series of the programme.

ITV presenters Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern have hosted the 2025 series and are now done to the last few contestants in the finale.

But do you remember who won the contest last? And what about the year before?

As we prepare for all the glitz and glamour of the rink, let's look back at all of the previous champions and where they are now.
