The first live show Dancing on Ice will air on Sunday evening at the start of the ice skating competition – with presenter Holly Willoughby making her TV comeback.
And the stars were busy preparing the camera for the show during the day, with former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas, 39, getting a tan.
The actor showed off his muscles as he shared a snap to his Instagram story and wrote the caption: “The best thing about @dancingonice.”
Meanwhile, another contestant on the show, Claire Sweeney, 52, donned a sheet mask to show off her glamour.
The Brookside star also got her hair done as she captioned the Instagram snap: “The glamor begins for the show tonight!”

Elsewhere, comedian Lou Sanders, 38, showed off a bright red manicure and joked: “@dancingonice turns this trucker into a lady!”
Athlete Greg Rutherford, 37, also shared snaps from the locker room, but appeared to be a little under the weather as he sipped a Lemsip.
This comes after Ryan revealed this week that he suffered a “bad fall” during Dancing On Ice rehearsals, just days before the opening show.
The star is partnered with professional skater Amani Fancy.
The pair appeared on This Morning to discuss their progress so far on the show, which begins on Sunday evening.
However, Amani explained: “I mean, we have a long journey ahead of us. We need to make sure what happened in training a few weeks ago doesn’t happen in the live shows – that was a pretty hard fall.”
“But it's not easy, they have to lift us up, they have a life in their hands.”
Presenter Josie Gibson also asked: “Is he a good student?” to which Ryan replied: “I'm hard work, Josie.”

Amani added: “He has good confidence but he is an interesting student and we work harder than anyone I know.”
“He'll go to his paddling competitions, go to fitness training, be with his kids and go skating.” He's trying to stay focused. I tell him to walk on your right leg, but he does it on his left leg.
“He’ll laugh and won’t come back until I calm down a little. It’s like a little kid on ice.”
Amani previously shared a selection of snaps with the actor on social media, writing: “I've honestly been hoping for this pairing since the @dancingonice cast came out after seeing an interview Ryan was in, up until that point “I've been nagging about it. “Production has told me countless times if it was him, but to date have had no luck.”
“I'm so proud to be your partner and can't wait to see you succeed and become the skater I know you can be.” Who knows, maybe we can by the end of the competition Don’t say yet who the professional is.”
Holly will host the new series with Stephen Mulhern after Phillip Schofield stepped away from television after his affair with a This Morning runner was revealed.
Holly also left This Morning last year after a former Essex security guard was accused of contacting a hitman in the US to kidnap and murder her.
Dancing On Ice starts on Sunday January 14th at 6.30pm on ITV.
