Nicky Slater did not be return to the show, however, the other judges from previous years returned, though Karen Barber served as Head Coach instead of a judge. This series the judges' scores were out of 10.0 instead of 6.0 giving an overall total out of 30.0.
The line-up was revealed on 18 December 2010 and consists of sixteen celebrities. In each of the first two shows, only eight couples skated, with two of them being eliminated.

In another twist to 30 January show the two celebrities with the lowest combined total of judges' scores and public votes competed in the skate-off as usual, but it was not the judges that decided who stayed but their fellow celebrities who had to decide and gave their reason live on air.
