Dancing On Ice pulled in its lowest ever viewing figures in show history during Sunday night’s grand finale.

Ratings were the lowest they have ever been after Coronation Street star Sam Aston was crowned winner of the 2025 compeтιтion.

Despite the nail-biting final, the show saw just 2.7million viewers tune in – a huge decline at its peak of more than 12million.

The plummeting figures comes after it was reported the show ‘will not be returning’ and staff have ‘already been told’ that their jobs are finished.

A source told The Sun: ‘The staffers on Dancing On Ice are saying the show is over and claim they’ve been told as much.

‘It’s a mainstay of ITV’s schedule and viewing figures are remarkably less than they were but they still had almost three million watch the launch show.’

The insider claimed that the whole production is ‘expensive’ to make and there is concern as to whether the broadcaster is making any money with the show.

The source also claimed that staffers on the show are ‘not holding out much hope’ for the future of their jobs.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for comment. 

Dancing On Ice is co-hosted by Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern, although she used to present it with her former This Morning co-star Phillip Schofield.

It debuted on ITV in 2006, and former Coronation Street actress Gaynor Faye – who played Judy Mallett in the 1990s – won the inaugural series.

The format was rested in 2014 but returned to screens four years later, and has been aired in the early months of the year ever since.

A host of famous faces have since taken to the rink, including TOWIE legend Gemma Collins, former EastEnders actor Joe Swash and ITV daytime star Jake Quickenden. 

Meanwhile, Christopher Dean has admitted to being unsure about the show’s future.

The judge – who won a gold medal at the 1984 Winter Olympics alongside his skating partner Jayne Torvill – also admitted that 50 years of performing has taken a toll ‘on the body’.

He said: ‘If Dancing on Ice continues, we will just come back as judges. 

‘We’ve been doing it a long time and people our age shouldn’t be doing it now, so we’re just happy that we can still do.’

Just after finding out that she was runner-up, Michaela said: “It’s been an amazing journey and I feel that I’m a winner to get this far with Mark. 

‘I’ve done it for the older women!”

Earlier in the show, former footballer Anton Ferdinand and Annette Dytrt finished in third place.
