'Dancing On Ice' skates to Slovakia

ITV's breakout reality hit Dancing On Ice has been sold to Slovakian broadcaster TV JOJ.

The channel, one of Slovakia's biggest commercial broadcasters, plans to air fourteen episodes later this year.

The live series brings together ten celebrities with little or no ice skating experience to battle it out on the rink each week.

Granada International has previously licensed the format to Australia, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Italy. A second UK series is planned for next year.
