by Mia O'Hare · The MirrorThe Traitors star Mollie Pearce has revealed who she will be paired with on Dancing On Ice.
Fans have slowly been learning which celebrities will be matched to the lineup of professional skaters for the 2025 series of the ITV competition. It comes after the stars taking part in the show have been confirmed to include the likes of Olympian Steve Redgrave, EastEnders ' Charlie Brooks and footballer Anton Ferdinand.
Mollie shot to fame after she took part in the tense season of hit BBC show The Traitors earlier this year. She confirmed she will be taking on the ice rink and has now revealed she's been paired with Colin Grafton. Announcing her partnership, Mollie posted a photo next to Colin as they stood on the rink.
The TV star gushed: "Soooo excited to announce our partnership! We are thrilled and can’t wait to start our journey for @dancingonice season 17!! It’s an absolute pleasure to be skating with @colin_grafton All starting to feel very real now." Mollie is clearly happy to be paired with Colin as she added to her Instagram Stories: "Dream team," alongside emojis.
Mollie had a dramatic time on The Traitors when she became the last remaining faithful contestant on the show. She lost out on the huge prize pot when Harry Clark successfully deceived her for the entire series. The 22-year-old was left devastated when she realised he'd been playing with her.
Announcing her stint on the show while on Lorraine, Mollie said: "I'm raring to go now, the thought of it is scary but I just want to get started. My mum used to take me skating a lot when I was young." She called radio presenter Adele Roberts her "inspiration" for taking part. Mollie had been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis aged 11. She said she wanted to show how people can live a "full, happy life" and she has always been able to "adapt".
It has already been confirmed Love Island's Chris Taylor has been paired with pro Vanessa Bauer. He shared the news with his followers on Instagram on Wednesday night. The post was also shared on Vanessa's page on the platform. Along with a number of photos of the pair on the ice rink together, Chris said: ""Bloody DELIGHTED to say me & Vanessa are skating together on @dancingonice 2025 …swipe to see how in sync we are(n't…yet. I'll accept 51% responsibility for that).
"Quivering with excitement to start skating with V-force & learn some sort of grace/decorum (& possibly improve my still quaver like posture). Message to future Vanessa - I'm sorry. This will make sense in about a week (long/short - I'm quite annoying)." A source has also claimed actress Chelsee Healey has been paired with Andy Buchanan.
The professional skater has been paired with the likes of WAG Rebekah Vardy, S Club singer Hannah Spearritt, paralympian Stef Reid and actress Zaraah Abrahams. "Chelsee is over-the-moon after being paired up with Andy," a source told The Sun. They added that she's 'looking forward to getting stuck in' with the training.
