The Dancing On Ice final is much-awaited after the ITV show was dropped from the TV schedule last week to make room for the football. Now, fans can rejoice as it's getting under way on Sunday 27 March, and Associate Creative Director Dan Whiston tells OK! it's going to be "a right humdinger." The show recently received backlash from some fans, who claimed the extra week was an "unfair advantage," but Dan said that just isn't the case.

Dancing on Ice finalist had Brendan Cole lost his balance while he was on the ice in an interview and almost fell just days before the grand finale. The former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer appeared on Lorraine alongside his fellow contestants Kimberley Wyatt and Regan Cascoigne to chat with Ria Hebden about the final. As the trio shared their excitement about taking to the ice for the final time on Sunday, Brendan lost his balance and slipped slightly putting his arms out to steady himself with a panicked look on his face.The near-miss left his fellow contestants worried, but he found the funny side in it and dropped to his knees in a dramatic way afraid of hurting himself.

Dancing On Ice first landed on our screens back in 2006, and we've watched numerous well-known stars take to the ice over the years. There's been 13 celebrities take home the trophy so far, with the 14th winner set to be announced in this week's final, which takes place on Sunday 27 March. Pussycat Dolls star Kimberly Wyatt, Regan Gascoigne, and Strictly Come Dancing star Brendan Cole are set to battle it out in the Dancing On Ice 2022 final.

Anyone hoping to see their favourite celebs battle for the Dancing on Ice trophy will have to wait a bit longer before they find out who will take home the amazing trophy. In a shake-up to its typical Sunday schedule, ITV has confirmed that the Dancing on Ice final will not air on Sunday 20 March, due to a scheduling conflict.The dancing show's finale has been pushed back by a week so the channel can cover the FA Cup quarter-final match between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool.The football match is due to kick off at 5.15pm and coverage will be on ITV for three hours, meaning that the programme would clash with Dancing on Ice’s usual prime-time 6.30pm slot on ITV1.

ITV competition sees the celebrity lineup take to the ice each week with jaw-dropping performances, and tonight (Sunday, March 13) was no different. Among this year’s contestants are the likes of Love Island star Liberty Poole, Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt and S Club 7 star Rachel Stevens. After a lively group routine to Camila Cabello's 'Don't Go Yet' led by former pro Dan Whiston, Phillip Schofield – who was hosting alone after Holly Willoughby tested positive for Covid-19 earlier today – then welcomed the final five on to the ice for a solo skating challenge.
