What happened last week?

This week’s events on Dancing On Ice have caused some controversy, as the ever-popular Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards, who had scored 33.5 points, was voted off the show in favour of Amber Davies, who had scored 38 points.

Edwards is deemed by many fans as being more capable of solo-skating than Davies, hence there was public outcry upon the news of his elimination.

More positively, Adele Roberts and partner Mark received a flawless score of 40 points for their stellar performance to the soundtrack of Jane McDonald’s “You’re My World”, while fan favourite Miles Nazaire, with partner Vanessa, scored a healthy 37.5 points. The market for the outright winner remains very competitive, with Nazaire at Evens and Roberts at 5/4.

When did Dancing on Ice 2024 start?

Dancing on Ice makes its eagerly anticipated return on Sunday, January 14th. Tune in on ITV 1 at 18:30 each Sunday evening to catch all the frosty action.
