Contestants

The twelve original celebrities taking part were revealed on 11 December 2013.[1]

Two of the original line-up withdrew from the show before it began: it was announced on 13 January 2014 that socialite Tara Palmer-Tomkinson had quit the show and been replaced by Laura Hamilton,[2] while actor Sam J. Jones withdrew the following day due to a shoulder injury, to be replaced by Ritchie Neville.[3]

When the series began, it was revealed that Joe McElderry and Donal MacIntyre were also training as standby competitors.[4] When Henry Conway withdrew from the competition on 28 January 2014 following a hand injury, a live ski jump-off was contested between McElderry and MacIntyre, with McElderry winning and thus taking Conway's place. However, MacIntyre joined the following day, when Melinda Messenger was forced to withdraw due to concussion. On 3 February 2014, prior to the evening's final, Sir Steve Redgrave and Marcus Brigstocke were forced to withdraw due to injuries they suffered during training.[5][6]
