Find out why ITV have postponed the grand final of the popular skating programme, Dancing on Ice…
March 20, 2022 - 17:28 GMT Nicky Morris Dancing on Ice fans will have to wait a full week to find out which skating star will be crowned the champion of this year's series as Sunday night's grand final has been postponed. ITV has confirmed that they are delaying the 2022 final due to a clash with the FA Cup quarter-final match between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool.
While fans may have to wait a little longer for the epic finale, the show's week-long delay will give Holly enough time to recover from coronavirus, having tested positive last week. It was announced on Sunday 13 March that Holly had contracted the virus and was forced to pull out of the live show, leaving Phillip to front the programme on his own.
Addressing the absence of his presenting partner via Instagram, Phillip shared a photo of the pair alongside a sweet message:"Gutted that my mate won't be with me on @dancingonice tonight."The broadcaster then shared a video from backstage, showing his name on a marker on the studio floor, before zooming in on Holly's and panning to an empty spot next to him.
A spokesperson from ITV soon explained that the show didn't have enough time to find a replacement for Holly: "It's because it was too short notice which wasn't the case when Phillip was unable to host the show."Like this story?
