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.

Everyone wanted to invest in the extra time they had.
