 Last EVER series of ‘Dancing on Ice’ on TV3 draws near.

 

An all-star mix of finalists and show favourites from its entire series run will be taking to the ice for the ninth and final series.

 

Previous show winners will want to retain their title, runners up will have old scores to settle and show favourites will strive to wow viewers…but who will be crowned the Final Dancing on Ice Champion?

 

Dancing on Ice airs this Sunday 5th January 2014 at 6.15pm, on TV3.

 

The final series of the extremely successful Dancing On Ice is upon us and the fourteen celebrities and their skating partners are ready for action.

 

An all-star mix of finalists and show favourites from its entire series run will be taking to the ice for the ninth and final series. Previous winners including Suzanne Shaw, Beth Tweddle, Hayley Tamaddon, Kyran Bracken, Sam Attwater and Ray Quinn will return to the rink, joined by past contestants such as Joe Pasquale, Gareth Gates, Bonnie Langford, Zaraah Abrahams, Jorgie Porter, David Seaman, Todd Carty and Gary Lucy.

 

Previous show winners will want to retain their title, runners up will have old scores to settle and show favourites will strive to wow viewers with their very best on the ice ensuring the final series goes out with bang.

 

Olympic skating superstars and mentors Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean have decided that in this, the thirtieth anniversary of the Bolero and their resulting Olympic gold medal in Sarajevo, it seemed a fitting time to say farewell.  The Olympic duo will of course be on hand once again to help train the celebrities as they compete for the coveted prize. Phillip Schofield and Christine Bleakley will be rink-side to preside over all of the action and the Judges will be on hand to deliver their verdicts.

 

With mind-blowing performances and awe-inspiring tricks from our skating professionals and celebrities, the final Dancing On Ice series will be the most spectacular yet as our stars spin, jump and headbang their way to the ultimate accolade – Dancing on Ice Champion.

 

Dancing on Ice airs this Sunday 5th January 2014 at 6.15pm, on TV3.
