GET your skates on celebrity spotters for the star-studded opening of Hot Ice 2002 at Blackpool Pleasure Beach this Saturday.

The curtain goes up at 7.30pm in the Arena -- the world's oldest purpose-built ice theatre -- for the 66th spectacular ice show which will once again be sponsored by OK magazine.

The glamorous glossy promises a whole host of top names from stage and screen jetting into the resort to really turn up the heat.

Stageworks Worldwide Productions also bring an exciting new work from director Amanda Thompson for 2002.

Latin heat and sultry style meet head on in Quixotic to replace last year's tribal inspired Rhythmos.

This passionate portrayal of rhythm and free-flowing choreography brings fire and excitement to live performance and embodies the cutting edge of this extreme sport.

Va Voom returns with fast-moving figure skating matched with the chic of the top couture houses and the thrill of the Can-Can.

Full of theatrical special effects, the dramatic choreography expresses the strength of each performer and captures Parisian life perfectly with character and fun.

Hot Ice 2002 opens in the Arena at 7.30pm. For tickets and further information call (0870) 4445588.
