Where is Dancing on Ice 2020 filmed?
Everything you need to know about where the ITV skate show is filmed...
It's back for 2020 - Dancing on Ice has arrived with a whole new batch of brave-but-possibly-foolhardy celebrities taking to the ice.
But with a purpose-built ice rink to maintain and film in, the work behind the scenes on Dancing on Ice is more complicated than you might think.
Here’s everything you need to know about where Dancing on Ice is filmed.
Where are the Dancing on Ice live shows filmed?
When the show first launched in 2006, Dancing on Ice was filmed on the George Lucas Stage at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire.
Elstree is also the home of EastEnders, Strictly Come Dancing and the now-cancelled Big Brother.
In 2011, the show briefly moved to Shepperton Studios in Surrey, the studio home of films such as Atonement, The Da Vinci Code and Guardians of the Galaxy. For the show’s all-star run in 2012, it moved back to Elstree.
However, when the show was revived in 2018, a purpose-built rink at RAF Bovingdon, Hertfordshire was built, which is where the live shows are now filmed.
Can you skate where Dancing on Ice is filmed?
Unfortunately, no. The ice rink is only for the live shows. However, if you would like to go and watch the celebrities perform live, tickets are free.
How do you get tickets to watch the live shows?
Tickets are allocated randomly, and you can apply for a maximum of two tickets per person. Go here for further details and to fill out the application.
