Dancing on Ice is a British television show co-hosted by Christine Bleakley and Philip Schofield, in which celebrities and their professional partners figure skate in front of a panel of judges. The format, devised by LWT and Granada Television[1], has been a prime-time hit in eight different countries, including Italy and Chile. In Australia, where it was titled Torvill and Dean's Dancing on Ice, it was axed after just one series owing to production costs.
Originally titled Skating With Celebrities the show was renamed following the failure of ITV's celebrity orientated 2005 summer schedule. Dancing on Ice is frequently compared to BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.
The BBC actually did a Strictly Come Dancing special entitled Strictly Ice Dancing at Christmas 2004 which was won by England goalkeeper David Seaman.
ITV's show was given a January premier amidst network doubts about its viability but became a surprise hit in Britain, where it became the third highest rated television show of 2006. It attained an impressive thirteen million viewers for the final in March.
Britain's best-known ice-skating duo and former Olympic champions Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean help to train the aspiring dancers, and also appear throughout the show with comments and advice. Head Coach Karen Barber also trains the skaters for the live show.[2] Since the beginning Torvill and Dean have opened every episode with a performance, with the exception of the second, third and fourth shows of the fourth series, when Torvill performed alone due to Dean's recovery from a shoulder operation.
Schofield previously presented with Holly Willoughby, with commentary from Tony Gubba and the voiceovers are done by John Sachs. The members of The Ice Panel were originally Karen Barber, Jason Gardiner, Nicky Slater and Robin Cousins, and the fifth judge varied from series to series: Karen Kresge in the first series, Natalia Bestemianova in the second, Ruthie Henshall in the third and fourth and Emma Bunton in the fifth. In series 6, there were only three judges: Gardiner, Cousins and Bunton.
During the shows first two series it ran two supplementary programmes - 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 both shows would not return to accompany the third series as the audience attracted is out of ITV2's target range.[3]
As part of ITV's new revamped schedule at the start of 2008, from the third series, the show aired on a Sunday night and featured updated music and new titles as well as redesigned graphics. The third series finale was a massive draw for ITV pulling an average 11.7 million viewers (up from 9.6 million the previous year) peaking at 12.6 million viewers over the two hour slot, up over a million from season two.[4]
The fifth series began on 10 January 2010. The show has also been commissioned up until 2011 with Torvill and Dean as coaches for which they will be paid £250,000 each series.[5]
It was announced by Phillip Schofield at the end of Series 6 that the show will return at the same time next year, although this has yet to be confirmed by ITV.
On 7 June 2011 Elstree Studios confirmed that Dancing on Ice would return to the studios for the upcoming 2012 series.[6] Christine Bleakley was announced as the new co-host of the show replacing Holly Willoughby[7], whilst Katarina Witt and Louie Spence replace Emma Bunton and Jason Gardiner on the judging panel[8].
Contents |
Each week the celebrities and their partners perform a live ice dance routine. The three (as of series 6) judges (commonly known as the Ice Panel) judge each performance and give a mark between 0.0 and 10.0, depending on the performance. These total scores create a leaderboard which combines with the public vote in order to determine the two lowest placed couples. As this is the case, the pair with the lowest score from the judges can avoid being in the bottom two if the public vote for them.
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 performance. The couple with the most votes from the judges receives a place in the following week's show, while the couple with the fewest votes leaves the competition.

It must be mentioned that judges were considerably more generous with their marks in series one and two than in later series especially during the early weeks of the competition. A decision was made before series three began that marks in the early stages would begin far lower than previous years to show progression more effectively. In series 6 the scoring system changed to three judges and a mark out of 10. This must also be taken into account when comparing the average marks received by each skater over the course of the six series.

Like many other reality TV shows, Dancing on Ice has had a number of supplementary shows. The first was Dancing on Ice Defrosted. It 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 5 pm. 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 nor 2009.
In 2010 it was announced that a new spin-off show would accompany Dancing on Ice, named Dancing on Ice Friday, hosted by Ben Shephard and Coleen Nolan.
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 couples finishing first after the public voted skated again in the skate off to decide the winner. The skaters that did not reach the skate off - 3rd to 6th - were announced "in no particular order", so ranks may not be accurate.

| 1st | Kyran Bracken | Melanie Lambert | Series 2 winner | 6.0+6.0+5.5+6.0+6.0= 29.5 |

For Christmas 2008, Torvill and Dean went head to head with Jayne Torvill having a team of three female celebrities, and Christopher Dean having a team of three male celebrities. The judges were the usual line-up of Robin Cousins, Ruthie Henshall, Jason Gardiner, Karen Barber and Nicky Slater. Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield presented the 90-minute programme.

Team Torvill scored 80 points to Team Dean's 79.5 and won the show by also receiving the majority of the audience votes.
Suzanne Shaw received the perfect score of 30 for the third time in a row. In her last two appearances on the show she has picked up the trophy.
A 30-minute prime time spin-off to Dancing on Ice premiered on 26 January 2008 and ran for a few episodes, hosted solely by Holly Willoughby. This both showed some exclusive footage of the celebrities training for the Sunday night main show and followed Torvill and Dean on the search for a member of the public to perform on the Dancing on Ice final in 2009.[21] Shows:
This was shown after the announcement of the bottom two had been made but before the skate off. It showed Torvill and Dean's search for an entertainment act on ice, with auditions from all kinds of ice skaters. The winner skated live on the Dancing on Ice 2009 final and join Torvill and Dean on tour.
From a shortlist of 20 acts, Torvill and Dean invited only 4 back to give another performance in the Dancing on Ice studio. The final 4 were:
The best skater to slip through the net was Grimsby born Daniel Bennett who initially impressed Christopher Dean on his first audition. Controversially however Jane Torvil denied him entry after his cataclismic fall on the quarter finals just metres away from the legendary skating duo.
The Oxford Freestylers won and performed live on the Dancing on Ice 2009 final.
A brand new spin-off show for the 2010 series of Dancing On Ice appropriately called Dancing on Ice Friday will give viewers the insight to the training of the celebrities over the last week. It is hosted by Ben Shephard and former contestant and Loose Women star Coleen Nolan. The show is broadcast from 8 pm to 8.30 pm on Friday evenings on ITV throughout the duration of the main shows season.
