Dancing on Ice series 6

Template:Infobox reality music competition The sixth series of Dancing on Ice started on 9 January 2011 on ITV. Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby return as hosts whilst Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean return to mentor the celebrities. This series sees a huge revamp of the show which includes the show moving from Elstree to Shepperton Studios, acquring a new look set and is broadcast in high definition for the first time on ITV1 HD, STV HD and UTV HD.

Nicky Slater will not be returning to the show. The other judges from previous years will return, though Karen Barber will serve as Head Coach instead of a judge. This series the judges' scores will be out of 10.0 instead of 6.0 giving an overall total out of 30.0 (for the qualifying rounds there were no half marks but returned when the competition officially started with the final 12).

The line-up was revealed on 18 December 2010 and consists of sixteen celebrities. In each of the first two shows, only eight couples skated, with two of them being eliminated. These first two shows were billed as a qualifying stage, with twelve of the couples going through to the main competition, which started on 23 January.

In another twist to the 30 January show the two celebrities with the lowest combined total of judges' scores and public votes competed in the skate-off as usual, but it wasn't the judges that decided who stayed but their fellow celebrities who had to decide and gave their reason live on air.

Contestants
