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?

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
