Dancing on Ice is a British television show, in which celebrities and their professional partners dance on ice in front of a panel of judges. The format, devised by LWT, has been a prime-time hit in 8 different countries including Australia (where it is titled Torvill and Dean's Dancing on Ice and was axed after just one series), Germany, Italy and Belgium.
Originally titled Skating With Celebrities the show was renamed following the failure of ITV's celebrity-orientated 2005 summer schedule. The show was given a January premier amidst network doubts about its viability but became a surprise hit in Britain, where it became the 3rd highest rated television show of 2006. It attained an impressive 13 million viewers for the final in March.
Britain's best-known ice-skating duo Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean help to train the aspiring dancers, and also appear throughout the show with comments and advice. Judge Karen Barber also trains the skaters for the live show. Since the beginning Torvill and Dean have opened every episode with a performance. The show is presented by Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, with commentary from Tony Gubba. The members of The Ice Panel are Karen Barber, Jason Gardiner, Nicky Slater and Robin Cousins, the fifth judge has varied from series to series (Karen Kresge in the first series, Natalia Bestemianova for the second and currently Ruthie Henshall for the third run.)
During the shows run two supplementary programmes have also aired - Dancing on Ice Defrosted presented by Stephen Mulhern, and Dancing on Ice Exclusive (or Dancing on Ice Extra during its first series) hosted by Andi Peters alongside Andrea McLean in series one and Ben Shephard in series two. In mid 2007 it was announced that Dancing on Ice Defrosted will not return to accompany the third series as the audience attracted is out of ITV2's target range. [1] Dancing on Ice Exclusive will not return either.
The third series began on Sunday 13 January 2008, as part of ITV's new revamped schedule. At the end of the current series, certain celebrities will take part in another tour. As part of the "revamp" Dancing on Ice the show now airs on a Sunday night and features updated music and new titles as well as redesigned graphics. The third series finale was a massive draw for ITV1 pulling an average 11.7 million viewers (up from 9.6 million last year) peaking at 12.6 million viewers over the two hour slot, up over a million from season two thrashing all shows in its path driving BBC1's flagship soap opera Eastenders to a recent low. [2]
As announced during the series 3 finale, Dancing on Ice will return in 2009 for another run. [3]
Format
Each week all the celebrities perform a dance routine with a professional skating partner. The judges (commonly known as the Ice Panel) rate the performance using the ice dancing judging system, each giving a score of between 0.0 and 6.0. The scores create a leaderboard which forms 50% of the final version, the other half of it comes from the public vote.
Once the scores and votes are combined to form the final leaderboard for that week's show, the two couples at the bottom compete in a final showdown known as the "Skate Off", where they perform their routine again. Once both couples have performed their routines for the judging panel, the five judges decide on who deserves to stay and cast their votes, based on their second preformance. The couple with the most votes from the judges receives a place in the following week's show, while the couple with the least votes leaves the competition.
Sixes
- 32 Sixes have been given out
- Only one was given out in the Australian Series.
- The lowest scoring six series was Series 1 when only Bonnie & Matt scored 2 sixes and that was all.
- The highest scoring six series was Series 3 when Chris & Frankie got 6 and Suzanne & Matt got 10.
- There was one six that was not meant to happen but it was a computer error.
- The most sixes in one night was the Series 3 Finale when 13/30 of the scores were sixes.
- Suzanne Shaw was the only person to get all 6.0's, she got it twice.
- The most sixes given to one couple was 10, that was Suzanne & Matt.

Series 4
As announced during the Series 3 Final, Dancing On Ice will return for a fourth series on either 10th or 11th January 2009 (Depending on a Saturday or Sunday start).
Spin-offs
Like many other reality TV shows, Dancing on Ice has had a number of supplementary shows. The first was Dancing on Ice Defrosted, was presented by Stephen Mulhern and aired on ITV2 immediately after the main ITV show and again after the results show. The show featured opinions from celebrity guests and past contestants as well as from Torvill and Dean, the judges, hosts and competitors. Judge Nicky Slater also offered in-depth analysis of various performances using the latest video technology that the judges use to judge performances.
The second spin-off show was originally called Dancing on Ice Extra and was presented by Andi Peters and Andrea McLean, both competitors in the first series. Midway through the first series Paul O'Grady left ITV to join Channel 4 meaning that ITV had no show to put on air at 5pm. The format of Dancing on Ice Defrosted was modified so that it could be broadcast every weekday. Due to Andrea's maternity leave during the second series she did not return to present the show and therefore Ben Shephard joined the show as the anchor presenter, and unlike during the previous series Andi Peters was now a roving reporter around the studio. For its second run the show was renamed Dancing on Ice Exclusive.
Neither of these first two spin-off shows returned in 2008.
Champion of Champions
This took place on Saturday 24 March 2007 and featured finalists from both Series 1 and Series 2. All six celebrities did one routine each, scored by the judges, and then voted on by the public. The two with the highest combined score performed again (same routine) for the public's vote alone, in the skate-off. The skaters listed below in positions three to six were announced during the show "in no particular order", so the positioning may not be meaningful. There will be no Champions of champions show in 2008.
