Dancing On Ice axed as ITV shares statement following ‘final nail in coffin’ for series

Dancing On Ice has been axed by ITV, a statement tonight (March 26) has revealed.

A 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.”

However, during the 2025 series, just 2.9 million viewers watched one episode.

It’s been reported that just 2.9 million watched the series launch this year too.
