DANCING ON ICE RENEWED FOR 2024 BY ITV

The greatest show on ice will return for another series on ITV1 and ITVX next year - the 16th series since the show began in 2006.

Hosted by Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, the current series comes to a conclusion this weekend (Sunday 12th March) with the live final, which will see reality star Joey Essex, Drag performer The Vivienne and Olympic Gymnast Nile Wilson compete for the trophy.

Ahead of the final, it's been revealed that ITV have recommissioned the show for a series in 2024. The judging panel on the series is currently headed up by skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, alongside professional dancers Oti Mabuse and Ashley Banjo.

A source told The Sun: "These days channels must be ruthless to win viewers. Only this month we’ve seen shows that were still popular be shelved, like I Can See Your Voice and You’ve Been Framed. But Dancing On Ice’s recommission now puts it on a par with other big hitters such as The Apprentice, Britain’s Got Talent and Come Dine With Me."

Dancing On Ice launched in 2006 on ITV. In 2013, it was announced the show would end with an all-stars series in early 2014. Four years later, in 2018, the series returned to ITV with a new home at Bovingdon Airfield in Hertfordshire.

Dancing On Ice: The Final airs Sunday at 6:30pm on ITV1. Watch the series so far on ITVX.
