The new series of Dancing On Ice doesn't kick off until next week, but it looks like Baywatch star Pamela Anderson may be one to watch.

It appears the actress is pretty competent on the ice already as she was pictured gliding around with professional partner Matt Evers in rehearsals.

Pamela has already shown she can move after taking part in Dancing With The Stars twice and having grown up in Canada, may have taken to the ice as a child.

The mother-of-two certainly looked graceful and confident as she was swung around by Evers.

Speaking about the series, which starts on ITV on January 6, Pamela said recently: 'I am actually excited to be taking part.'

However, it looked like things weren't going quite to well for Coronation Street actress Samia Ghadie, who ended up on her bottom after falling over.

Confidence: Pamela skates backwards around the rink

The soap star, who will skate with Sylvain Longchambon, said recently her training had started well and she hadn't fallen over much.

She said: 'I didn't fall over for four weeks and then I had a big one!'

But perhaps as she prepared for her first routine, the complex steps got the better of her.

This doesn't bode well: Anthea Turner apparently needs the help of both Christopher Dean and Jayne Torvill, despite weeks of training

Meanwhile, it appears TV presenter Anthea Turner may have a way to go as she was pictured skating with the help of both Christopher Dean and Jayne Torvill.

When the line-up was revealed earlier this month, she admitted she was covered in bruises.

She said: 'I am not sure but I have got a massive one on my bum and some on my legs from the lifts!'

However, it looks like Olympian Beth Tweddle will be bringing some of her gymnastic moves to the ice as she did the splits.

The show, presented by Phillip Schofield and Christine Bleakley, also sees the return of sharp-tongued judge Jason Gardiner.

Australian Gardiner, who famously described watching swimming champion Sharron Davies dance as looking at 'faecal matter that won't flush', started as a judge when the show launched in 2006.

He also caused controversy when he was accused of bullying former judge and head coach Karen Barber by telling her: 'If your opinion still mattered, you'd be on the panel.'
