The tenth series of Dancing on Ice debuted on ITV on 7 January 2018. It was the first series since the show had ended in 2014 and featured a new set and ice rink, a new panel of judges, and a new logo.[1] After the tenth series, the live tour of Dancing on Ice returned from March to April 2018, featuring celebrities from the series.[2]

For this series, the show relocated from its previous home at Elstree Studios to a new, purpose-built studio at RAF Bovingdon in Hertfordshire.[3] Creative directors and mentors Christopher Dean and Jayne Torvill became head judges and alternated the role on a weekly basis, joined on the panel by newcomer Ashley Banjo[4] and Jason Gardiner, who returned for his ninth series as judge.[5]

Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby served as hosts, with Willoughby replacing Christine Lampard. Ashley's brother Jordan Banjo acted as the show's backstage digital host.[6]

On 21 November 2017, it was confirmed that professional skater Mark Hanretty would return to the 2018 show, replacing Lloyd Jones. Matt Chapman was named as commentator for the series in December 2017. However, he left after the first episode and was replaced by Sam Matterface.[7]

The competition was won by Jake Quickenden and Vanessa Bauer on 11 March 2018.
