Chris Fountain, currently wowing audiences with his ice skating finesse, has confirmed he will continue his ice skating career after the ITV 1 series when he joins the nationwide tour when it goes on the road this April. He is joined by TV soap beauty Linda Lusardi, who has entertained the public and judges with her ice skating whirls, and plucky Coronation Street star Zaraah Abrahams, who has hit the ice running with her late entry following Michael Underwood's broken ankle. Together all three names complete the Dancing on Ice 2008 Tour cast.

Other celebrities who announced their involvement in the 2008 Tour are Suzanne Shaw, Gareth Gates, reigning Dancing on Ice champion, Kyran Bracken, and actress Clare Buckfield - who narrowly missed out on being crowned ice queen last year. Bonnie Langford will also join the celebrity entourage following her huge success on the 2007 ice tour last year when she was regularly voted winner by arena audiences up and down the country. Footballing legend David Seaman who starred in the first series of the hit ITV 1 show was the first name to announce his involvement in the live ice dancing show. Andi Peters will return as compere of the live show; this a time around he will present to live audiences without the help of crutches having steered clear of the ice since his ankle break last year which he sustained during practice. He went on to present the show regardless of his injury.
