The programme will air across two 90-minute specials over the Christmas season.
Of the show, Ashley said: ‘We are so proud of what this show has achieved in reminding people to check themselves for early signs of cancer and we’re going all out this year to get that message across.
‘Following lockdown, when far fewer people were getting health checks, now more than ever this message is important.
‘Performing on ice will take the challenge to a whole new level – the celebrities won’t know what’s hit them! What could possibly go wrong?’
Coleen said: ‘I keep saying ‘never again’ to getting my kit off but the response we get from the millions of women who feel empowered to check themselves after the show is incredible, so here we go again!
‘This year is more personal than ever for me as two of my amazing sisters are battling cancer once more.
‘I’m inspired by them and everyone I meet who’s been touched by this dreadful disease, so I’m absolutely thrilled to be back leading a new awesome group of women, ready to bare all with me.
‘But as this year it’s on ice, let’s just hope we don’t get frostbite on our unmentionables!’
