Dancing on Ice first hit screens in 2006, with former ITV duo and best friends Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby fronting the new project.
The former This Morning hosts were a staple duo for years, however, they haven’t always hosted the skating show together as Stephen Mulhern and Christine Lampard have also stood in as presenters.
While the hosts have been chopping and changing, the same can be said for the judges. The current panel includes Ashley Banjo, Oti Mabuse, Jayne Torvil and Christopher Dean.
These regular faces appear every week from early January until the series concludes nearly two months later, with each person likely receiving a fixed term for their hard work.
But how much do they get paid for their stint on the show? Express Online has taken a look.
Holly Willoughby

Despite leaving her eye-watering This Morning salary behind when she quit the show in 2023, Holly Willoughby remains one of the highest paid female presenters on television.
Towards the end of her This Morning career, it was reported she was earning between £700,000 and £1,000,000 for the role.
Reports suggest that the 43-year-old now takes home £200,000 for her two months hosting Dancing on Ice. She presented the ITV programme since its inception in 2006 to 2012, when she decided to quit in favour of a role on rival BBC series The Voice.
The Celebrity Bear Hunt host returned to Dancing on Ice when it was revamped in 2018 and has been there ever since.

Phillip Schofield

Phillip Schofield co-hosted Dancing on Ice with Holly until she left in 2012. The 62-year-old continued fronting the show after her departure, joining forces with Christine Lampard.
The former This Morning presenter returned when the show was revived in 2018 and hosted his final series in 2023 before he was forced to step down from ITV later that year.
Phillip’s departure came after he confessed to having an affair with a much younger male colleague at ITV – a scandal which abruplty ended his career.
It is believed he earned around £45,000 per show for Dancing on Ice.

Stephen Mulhern

Stepping in for Phillip Schofield, Stephen Mulhern has co-hosted Dancing on Ice with Holly since 2024.
It was previously reported that Stephen has an annual income of around £800,000, with his net worth predicted to be around £5 million, increasing dramatically from previous years.
Although it is unknown how much of that comes from his Dancing on Ice salary, it is likely not far away from Holly’s figure.
Christine Lampard

Loose Women presenter Christine Lampard presented three series of the Dancing on Ice between 2012 and 2014 following Holly’s departure.
While co-presenting the show with Phillip Schofield, the 46-year-old was reportedly paid £24,163 per episode – which amounts to about £400 per minute.
However, a conflicting report suggested she was paid a whopping £40,000 for at least one episode of the show in 2013, meaning the exact figure is unknown.
Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean

Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean have been a part of Dancing on Ice since its inception in 2006.
Having been ice skating for more than 45 years, the Olympic gold medallists originally helped behind the scenes, training with and handing out advice to the many stars that have graced the ice.
In 2018, they became joint head judges on the panel. The skating duo are reportedly paid £250,000 for their roles on Dancing On Ice.
They sit on the panel alongside Oti Mabuse and Ashley Banjo, however, it is unknown how much the former Strictly Come Dancing star and Britain’s Got Talent winner make from the show.
