The fifteenth series of Dancing on Ice debuted on ITV on 15 January 2023. During the finale of the fourteenth series, it was announced that Dancing on Ice had been renewed for another series. The series was once again filmed in the purpose-built studio at Bovingdon Airfield. Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby returned as hosts. Ashley Banjo, Christopher Dean, Oti Mabuse, and Jayne Torvill also returned as judges. This series decreased the number of live shows to nine weeks instead of ten, and featured one fewer celebrity contestant than usual.
For the first time in the show's history, Torvill and Dean were unable to perform the Boléro, as Torvill had ruptured her bicep in training and required surgery.
Olympic artistic gymnast Nile Wilson and were announced as the winners on 12 March 2023. Nile Wilson was also the first male skater to ever perform the dangerous manoeuvre "the headbanger," which one skater is picked up by their ankle and spun around by their partner.
This was the final series to be presented by Schofield, following his departure from ITV just over two months after the series concluded in the aftermath of revelations over his personal life.
Professional skaters On 28 October 2022, the professional skaters returning from the previous series were announced as Matt Evers, Alexandra Schauman, Łukasz Różycki, Mark Hanretty, Vanessa Bauer, Brendyn Hatfield, and Tippy Packard, along with Colin Grafton who received a partner for the first time. Andy Buchanan, Robin Johnstone, Angela Egan, Joe Johnson, and reigning champion Karina Manta did not return. They were replaced by Sylvain Longchambon, who received a partner for the first time since the eleventh series, Klabera Komini, and Vicky Ogden, both of whom last appeared in the thirteenth series, as well as new skater Olivia Smart.
Couples On 3 October 2022, Patsy Palmer was announced as the first celebrity to be participating in the series. More celebrities continued to be revealed throughout the week before the line-up was concluded on 11 October. Due to the series being a week shorter than usual, only eleven couples competed.
