Dancing On Ice has been “rested” with “no current plans for another series”, ITV has announced. The decision means the show won’t be on air for its 20th anniversary next year. The ice-skating competition started in 2006 but has suffered from falling viewer numbers recently. An ITV spokesperson said: “Following another successful series earlier this year, Dancing On Ice will be rested in 2026 with no current plans for another series. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the cast and crew who have worked on the show since 2006, and over the previous 17 series, for all of their hard work both on and off the ice.” In an Instagram post, Willoughby thanked everyone who has been “part of our Dancing on Ice family”. The show sees celebrities paired with professional ice skaters to perform routines in front of a panel of judges. Ratings were strong for several years but viewing figures dropped this year. This year’s series was won by Coronation Street actor Sam Aston and his skating partner Molly Lanaghan. Other celebrities who have taken to the ice since 2006 include Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle, EastEnders actor Sam Attwater, and presenter Joe Swash.
