Dancing on Ice series 13
The thirteenth series of Dancing on Ice debuted on ITV on 17 January 2021. During the finale of the twelfth 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, which had been set up for the tenth series. Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby returned as hosts, while Ashley Banjo, John Barrowman, Christopher Dean, and Jayne Torvill returned as judges.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the series was filmed without a live audience for the first time in the show's history, while the judges were separated by perspex screens. The celebrities and their professional partners formed bubbles in order to work together safely.
This series experienced numerous withdrawals. Denise van Outen, Billie Shepherd, and Jason Donovan were forced to withdraw from the series after suffering injuries, while Rufus Hound and Joe-Warren Plant both withdrew after testing positive for COVID-19. Amy Tinkler and Matt Richardson joined the competition as replacement contestants in weeks 3 and 4, respectively.
On 15 February 2021, ITV announced that they would postpone the sixth live show scheduled for 21 February in order to give the remaining contestants sufficient time to recover from any injuries, stating that "The welfare of all of those involved is important to us and we felt it prudent to take a week's break at this juncture". The episode was instead replaced with a pre-recorded special celebrating the most memorable moments in the show's history entitled Dancing on Ice: The Greatest Show on Ice. The live shows resumed on 28 February.
On 26 February 2021, ITV announced that the current series would end a week earlier than originally planned, taking the number of live shows to eight instead of the usual 10.
Sonny Jay and Angela Egan were announced as the winners on 14 March 2021.

On 30 August 2020, it was announced that Alexander Demetriou and Carlotta Edwards would also not be returning, although Demetriou did still appear in some of the group numbers. On 7 October 2020, it was announced that Jess Hatfield, Oscar Peter, and Tom Naylor would not be returning either. They were replaced by returning professionals Andy Buchanan and Robin Johnstone, and new professionals Angela Egan, Klabera Komini, and Yebin Mok, along with Joe Johnson and Karina Manta who led the professional group routines.

On 16 February 2021, it was announced that Hamish Gaman had been forced to withdraw from the competition after snapping a tendon in his hand. Therefore, Faye Brookes was re-partnered with Matt Evers.
On 20 September 2020, Myleene Klass was announced as the first celebrity to be participating in the series. More celebrities were revealed in the following days before the line-up was concluded on 4 October. On 26 January 2021, Denise van Outen was forced to withdraw from the competition after suffering three bone fractures and partially dislocating her shoulder. Van Outen was replaced by former Olympic artistic gymnast Amy Tinkler, who made her debut in the competition in week 3.
