Dancing on Ice returned on Sunday night (February 11) with its much-loved musicals week. Nine celebrities remained in the ITV skating competition, performing hits from the stage in a bid to impress the judges.
Sunday night's programme saw a fair few changes, from a double elimination and the return of the judges' challenge, to a replacement on the judging panel. Last week it was announced that Ashley Banjo is hitting the road with his dance troupe Diversity for a 55-date tour across the UK.
Keeping his seat warm is American figure skater Johnny Weir, 39, who is a two-time Olympian - competing in the 2006 and 2010 Winter Olympics. Johnny impressed viewers with his debut, with many calling for him to take a permanent spot on the show.

During tonight's show, there were two top-scoring celebrities, Miles Nazaire and Amber Davies, who each earned a score of 35.5 landing them in joint first-place at the top of the leaderboard.
Amongst the contestants to perform was Emmerdale actress Roxy Shahidi and her pro skating partner Sylvain Longchambon, who skated to Your Song from Moulin Rouge.
But during her performance, fans were left questioning if they 'missed' something, as they believe she failed to complete the judges challenge - to skate alone and perform a jump.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, @Boppity_Boo34 asked: "When did she skate on her own did I miss it #DancingOnIce," as @ingridlittler said: "Still not on ice on her own #DancingOnIce."
