PlayOJO Bingo announced today it has inked a deal to be the official sponsor of ITV1’s live celebrity ice-skating competition Dancing on Ice for its seventeenth series.

The agreement includes significant PlayOJO Bingo brand visibility in the format of idents around the Sunday peak-time show. Hosted by Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern, Dancing on Ice challenges celebrities and their professional ice skater partners to learn and perform ice-skating dance routines in front of a panel of judges and live studio audience.

The new season slid onto UK TV screens on 12th January. Celebrities hoping to achieve skating success this year include Olympic rowing legend Sir Steve Redgrave, Love Island star Chris Taylor,  TOWIE’s Dan Edgar and Ferne McCann, former footballer Anton Ferdinand, Coronation Street‘s Sam Aston,  EastEnders star Charlie Brooks and Hollyoaks’ Chelsee Healey; as well as former English football player Anton Ferdinand, comedian Josh Jones, Coronation Street’s Sam Aston, and presenter Michaela Strachan.

The deal includes 120 seconds of on-air brand accreditation via sponsorship idents featuring the PlayOJO Bingo ‘Sounds Like OJO Time’ creative platform and the brand’s iconic three-note sonic logo. There will also be 10 seconds of idents around free programme-streaming content on the ITVX website, ITV’s streaming service, and the STV Player website and mobile app.

Meanwhile, PlayOJO Bingo will have the rights to use the Dancing On Ice show logo, design assets and format across its website, app and social channels and in competitions targeting consumers, trade and employees, as well as certain other marketing communications.

Peter Bennett, CMO at PlayOJO said Dancing on Ice and the SkillOnNet-powered PlayOJO are perfect dance partners.

“PlayOJO Bingo is all about creating a vibrant and entertaining environment where players can challenge themselves and have fun whether they win or lose, just like the celebrities on Dancing on Ice. It’s about building exciting and memorable experiences, whether that be through the thrill of casino games or gliding across the ice.”

Hello there! I'm a 21-year-old university student majoring in Finnish and Korean Language and Literature. I have a deep passion for art and a profound connection to the natural world. My journey through life has been a colorful one, driven by my love for creativity, music, and the wonders of the great outdoors. As a dedicated student, I've already earned a degree in Classic Cantos, a testament to my appreciation for the timeless beauty of classical music. Beyond the classroom, my artistic spirit thrives through my love for painting and drawing. These creative outlets allow me to express my thoughts and emotions, transforming blank canvases into vibrant stories. My interests go far beyond music and art. Singing, playing the piano, and exploring new melodies are integral parts of my life, providing me with both solace and exhilaration. When I'm not immersed in the world of art and music, I find solace in nature's embrace. My heart is drawn to animals and the serene beauty of the natural world, fueling my desire to protect and preserve our precious environment.
