Dancing On Ice fans have mocked the show’s ‘diverse’ winners lineup after Sam Aston was crowned the winner of the 2025 series. 

The Coronation Street actor beat Michaela Strachan during the final on Sunday, with audiences claiming the show has gone ‘stale.’

Doubts over its future have also surfaced after losing over a million viewers in the last two years with staff told the ‘tired’ show is ‘over’.

As the potential final episode came to an end, viewers were left outraged after realising that no female celebrities have won since it was revived in 2018. 

Last year, the compeтιтion was won by soap actor Ryan Thomas and his professional partner Amani Fancy.  

The last woman who crowned the champion was Beth Tweddle who won series eight in 2013 alongside Daniel Whiston.

The following year Ray Quinn was crowned the winner and the show was taken off air for four years.

When the show rebooted in 2018, Jake Quickenden, James Jordan, Joe Swash, Sonny Jay, Regan Gascoigne, Nile Wilson, Ryan went on to win the show each year. 

Before gymnast Beth won in 2013 only three women won the show after its launch in 2006. 

Gaynor Faye was crowned the show’s first ever winner. After the 2006 season, Kyran Bracken, Suzanne Shaw, Ray Quinn, Hayley Tamaddon, Sam Attwater and Matthew Wolfenden went on to win the following years. 

Out of a total of 16 winners, only four women have been crowned champion of the skating show. 

And it has not gone unnoticed by fans of the show with a post shared to X, saying: ‘I’m so glad Dancing On Ice has had such a diverse and unique set of winners since the reboot.’

It comes following the news that Dancing On Ice could reportedly be axed after losing over a million viewers in the last two years with staff told the ‘tired’ show is ‘over’.

According to The Sun the series could be rested, before being revamped and relaunched at a later date, similar to when the show was axed in 2014 and brought back four years later.

A source told the publication: ‘Viewing figures are remarkably less than they were but they still had almost three million watch the launch show. There’s no denying, though, that the format has become tired and they’re not getting the big names they once did’.

‘Changes are needed and it’s likely it’ll be rested and given a new lease of life’ but said staff were ‘not holding out much hope’.

Before adding: ‘The show’s future hinges on the meetings that follow last night’s finale. Dancing On Ice is an expensive production and there are questions over whether ITV is getting bang for its buck’.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Dancing On Ice for comment. 

Last week source told The Mirror: ‘There are very real fears this is the end of the road for Dancing on Ice. It’s had a good run for nearly 20 years and has a very loyal set of viewers who really love it but the sad truth is there’s just not enough of them. 

‘We need bums on seats but the ratings have dropped to a point where it’s difficult to justify the cost. 

The future of Dancing On Ice was thrown into doubt ahead of this series after the head judges Torvill and Dean revealed they are ready to hang up their skates and they performed one last time on Sunday. 

Meanwhile ITV insiders said that Holly is ‘busy with other commitments’, which meant she was unable to return to the game show she hosted a two part special last year alongside Stephen.
