FORMER England cricketer Dominic Cork has signed up for Dancing on Ice - the only sportsman to don skates in the new series.

Cork, 39, who still plays for Hampshire, is confirmed for the new run of the hit ITV1 show next month.

And he's hoping to carry on in the tradition of sports stars doing well on dancing reality shows.

He could even follow in the tracks of rugby player Kyran Bracken, who won Dancing on Ice in 2007.

Dominic, right, will be joined on the show by Dave Vitty, 36, who is Radio 1 breakfast DJ Chris Moyles' sidekick Comedy Dave.

The pair complete the line-up of 16 stars.

TV Biz revealed on Wednesday that soccer hero Frank Lampard's ex Elen Rivas, 34, and former Neighbours hunk Craig McLachlan, 45, were also on board.

Others include presenter Jeff Brazier, 31, Victoria Cross hero Johnson Beharry and former guest Dancing on Ice judge Angela Rippon, 66.

Former EastEnders actor Sam Attwater, 24, who played Leon Small, ex-Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe, 27, and Loose Women host Denise Welch, 52, are also in the line-up.

They will be joined by TV pair Richard and Judy's daughter Chloe Madeley, 23, kids' TV host Laura Hamilton and actress Nadia Sawalha, 46.

The show is being be relocated to a larger studio set this year.

It will also be shown in high definition for the first time. An insider said: "Bosses think viewers will really love the diverse stars taking part."

The series starts on January 9.

ITV1's Dancing on Ice 2011 line-up revealed

Kerry Katona, ex-newsreader Angela Rippon and rapper Vanilla Ice are among the celebrities set to take part in the next series of ITV1's Dancing on Ice.

Actor Steven Arnold, whose Coronation Street character Ashley Peacock was recently killed off, is also among the 16 stars hoping to compete.

Although 16 prepared for the show, only 12 will reach the competition stage.

The series will begin with two shows on 9 and 16 January in which four hopefuls will be axed after votes from viewers.

Victoria Cross hero Lance Corporal Johnson Beharry, the first contestant from outside the worlds of sport and showbiz, is also in training to compete.

Soap actors are well represented in the line-up.

Ex-Coronation Street actress Denise Welch, former EastEnders star Sam Attwater, Australian Craig McLachlan - best known for his role in Neighbours - and Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe are all set to appear in the show.

Cricketer Dominic Cork, BBC Radio 1's David Vitty - better known as Chris Moyles's sidekick Comedy Dave - and Chloe Madeley, daughter of Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, are also in the running.

Nickelodeon presenter Laura Hamilton, Chelsea footballer Frank Lampard's ex-girlfriend Ellen Rives and actress Nadia Sawalha complete the line-up.

Spice Girl Emma Bunton and choreographer Jason Gardiner will remain on the judging panel, along with former figure skater Robin Cousins, who is head judge.

The voting panel has been reduced from four to three after a decision was taken not to replace former judge Nicky Slater, who announced he was leaving the show last month.

The fees that the celebrities competing in Dancing on Ice will earn have reportedly been revealed.

According to the News of the World, Kerry Katona is the highest earning celebrity on this year's show, being paid £60,000. Trailing her are Loose Women star Denise Welch and Coronation Street actor Steven Arnold, who will each receive £50,000.

A source said: "Kerry and Denise are our best signings for a long time. They are brilliant, outspoken characters. But Dancing On Ice is a huge commitment and Kerry, Denise and Steven all wanted top money."

Most of the remaining contestants, including Chloe Madeley, ex-newsreader Angela Rippon and rapper Vanilla Ice, will earn £40,000.

Meanwhile, EastEnders star Sam Attwater, Nickelodeon presenter Laura Hamilton, and "Comedy Dave" Vitty from Chris Moyles' Radio 1 show will each receive the lowest payment of £20,000.

Oh noes, the thought that some of them will earn JUST £20K breaks my heart...

Seriously though, some sort of clue as to who ITV will want(/try and fix it for) to win? I do think that if they're really that interested, the 'top' signings would take equal money to the likes of Comedy Dave and the ones I've never heard of.

Well.... he looks..... er..

I'm interested to see how other areas of the media are going to approach this. For example, Real Radio have been speaking alot about Dancing on Ice but have so far not mentioned Dave doing it. But eventually he could be voted off or even maybe win, and then their Entertainment news probably will mention it... but how will they do it, because they can't say he's from Radio 1 or 'Chris Moyles's Sidekick' (Other radio stations bosses tend not to like that). Is he gonna be classed as a 'radio personality' or something?

    • Is big weekend the only place to get long boi merch? It's sold out! I'd love to have got my hands on some. 
    • Considering the price of some festival event for a small portions can be pricey but it isn’t too bad that could get it with chips and other roast dinner bits. I think when you are billed as a touring high profile DJ there’s always a risk of playing out familiar tracks from other artists in the mix. Especially on a line-up with Chase and Status and Rudimental who will be playing pretty much all tracks written, produced and released as their DJing names.   
    • Matt & Mollie I believe (and on the radio occassional studio bits from Jack Saunders, Sam & Danni and Maia Beth).
    • Obvs - Scott 2-4 and Trevor Nelson are also in 82A
    • Who presented Party Anthems on stage?
    • Lots of adverts for Matt and Mollie around the place, alongside the rest of the weekday lineup, but no mention of Dean and/or Vicky. Although I notice those two are doing the photobooth today, as is Danny Beard…
    • Yesterday was excellent pretty much all day. You can tell a lot of work has gone into the festival and the set up was really good. The ground is fine for anyone worried, I wore old trainers and they’re still fine today.    Merchandise is available for some high prices. If you’re going for Longboi merch get it early as they sold out within the first couple of hours.    The photo booth is also good and we met Vick, Katie and Jamie for a few seconds and got a photo. If you’re doing this get there 15-20 minutes before the advertised time as they’re only 30 minute slots. It’s right next to the main stage so you can see everything going on there from the queue anyway. Most of the acts we saw were excellent. Becky Hill and Ella Henderson were brilliant live. Rudimental and Chase and Status were absolutely incredible. Nathan Dawe wasn’t great, played 3 of his own songs then dodgy remixes of Marvin Gaye, Dolly Parton etc. Went to Dimension halfway through which was must better. Saw 15-20 minutes of Eric Prydz which wasn’t really my thing but his staging was excellent.  The DJ sets in between everything were pretty good, especially Matt and Mollie and Charlie Hedges. Sam and Danni were a welcome change as they played indie anthems for a while although I think they may have just been the pre recorded anthems they usually play on weekends (still better than Nathan Dawe). Food was good, but pricey - £15 for my main meal of roast pork, stuffing, chips and Yorkshire pudding. I was surprised they were selling multipacks of Madri and bottles of wine, especially the latter as people were walking around swigging from glass bottles in the middle of the crowd then dumping them on the floor… the rubbish was a mess at the end of the night. Probably one of the best live music events I’ve ever been to, a real credit to the station. 
    • While there were some technical issues (tracks temporarily cutting out, mics not working at first for radio listeners, 'studio team' sometimes jumping in at quite random intervals) Party Anthems on stage seemed to work well and I sort of wonder why they haven't done it before. I guess it depends on when gates open but if gates open around 1/2pm then no excuse not to do it- it's a DJ set which they have loads of across the weekend and acts as a warm-up so the crowd are hot for the first main act.
    • They mentioned on air that it's before Joel Corry's set.
    • When is the set for Greg and Tom? I’m having trouble getting on to Insta and Google is not helping.
    • Jess Iszatt is in for Jack on Monday 27th May.
    • The two larger studios either side of the Live Lounge are 82A (aka 82Mills) and 82D.  The 4 smaller ones nearby are 82B, C, E & F.  The brand new ones are nearby on the 8th floor and are 82K, L, M & N.  All of the London-based R2 and 6M shows are coming from the 8th floor, some in the new studios and some in the original ones.  Obviously there are a lot of shows that come from elsewhere in the country such as Birmingham, Salford and Cardiff, but any in London come from the 8th floor.   In terms of R1 at the moment:   82A - Greg James, Danny Howard, Jeremiah Asiamah 82B - Early Breakfast Mon-Fri, Dan P Carter, Sarah Story, Charlie Tee 82D - RMC, Going Home, Future Artists, Future Pop, Rave Up, 13.00-16.00 Fri-Sun 82E - Official Chart, Chillest Show 82F - Dance Anthems, Kenny Allstar, Indie Show 82N - New Music Show Salford - Dean & Vicky, Danny Beard, Nat O'Leary, Life Hacks Cardiff - Sam & Danni
    • Vick, Katie, Jamie, Charlie and Melvin will be on at 11am. Then Matt, Mollie, Charlie and Jamie at 1pm.
