Dancing On Ice stars seen KISSING before show’s even started!

Well, that didn't take long!

Dancing On Ice doesn’t officially start until next year but already two of the celebrity contestants have been seen KISSING on a night out.

That was quick!

So, which stars have been getting up close and personal during training, then?

Well, it’s none other than Hollyoaks actress Steph Waring and rugby pro Max Evans!

They were seen leaving the big ITV Gala together holding hands on Thursday night, before jumping into a rickshaw and locking lips in full view of the cameras.

A genuine blossoming romance or playing around for the paps?

Hmm… only time will tell!

Neither Steph, 39, nor Max, 34, have commented on the photos yet.

Stephanie did, however, post a group shot to Instagram this morning, showing her, Max and their fellow Dancing On Ice celebs on the ITV Gala pink carpet.

Also taking part in the revamped Dancing On Ice are I’m A Celebrity’s Jake Quickenden, TV presenter Donna Air, Love Island’s Kem Cetinay, Great British Bake Off winner Candice Brown and cricketer Monty Panesar.

Completing the celeb line-up are Good Morning Britain weatherman Alex Beresford, Corrie stars Brooke Vincent and Antony Cotton, Bucks Fizz’s Cheryl Baker and Olympian Perri Shakes-Drayton.

Steph, who plays Hollyoaks’ Cindy, has been single since splitting from former EastEnders star Michael Greco earlier this year.

Max, meanwhile, separated from his model wife Katy in January.

Steph was the final celebrity confirmed for the revamped series earlier this week.

She admitted: “It’s quite a daunting challenge. The first day was pretty tough. I thought I’d be better than I was. I fell over once.

“It’s very technical; it’s the way you hold yourself, the positioning of your feet. Balancing is the hardest thing to do. I thought ‘well I can do yoga, I can obviously skate on ice….no Steph you can’t!”

The new-look Dancing On Ice returns to ITV in 2018, four years after being taken off air.

It originally ran from 2006 until 2014 with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield hosting the first six series together, and Phil being joined by Christine Lampard for the latter three series.

Holly and Phil are back for the new series, which boasts a new-look judging panel of Jason Gardiner, Torvill and Dean, and Diversity frontman Ashley Banjo.
