Dancing on Ice viewers have praised Ryan Thomas for his 'class' move after he was announced as the series winner. The ITV skating competition's 2024 run came to a spectacular end on Sunday night (March 10) despite some last-minute drama.
At the start of the show, Made In Chelsea star Miles Nazaire, broadcaster Adele Roberts and former Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas, were introduced to the rink by presenters Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern.
But fourth finalist Greg Rutherford was missing after he had to pull out of the contest just hours before the final after suffering a "significant injury" during rehearsals. Holly said everyone was "completely gutted" over the news while Stephen said he was "so sorry" for Greg and his partner Vanessa James and sent him well wishes.

But the competition continued on with Adele, Miles and Ryan taking to the ice before the voting lines closed and the third place couple was announced as Adele and skating partner Mark Hanretty.
Miles and Ryan were then both left to perform routines inspired by Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean's famous Bolero in a bid to be crowned the winner of Dancing On Ice. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Torvill and Dean winning gold at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo.
Moments later and after an epic performance from Trovill and Dean, Holly and Stephen announced Ryan and his partner Amani Fancy as Dancing on Ice 2024 champions.
Ryan admitted to being speechless and heaped praise on his partner for all the work she has put in during her first series of the ITV show.
