The night started with the three remaining celebrities performing a new showcase routine each - as the public vote opened. The judges were very generous with their scoring tonight (March 9) and threw out 10s like sweets on Halloween.

However unlike the previous weeks of the competition, the judges’ votes had no sway in the result. It was simply based on the results of the public vote.

After the three dances, the lines closed and the first result of the night was revealed. But before that, ITV got the band back together and all of the eliminated contestants from 2025 returned for a group performance.

It was announced that Anton had finished in third place. The top two for 2025 were revealed as Sam and Michaela.

The lines re-opened and it was almost time to announce the winner. The top two then took to the ice again, taking on the bolero for a shot at the crown.

But before the winner was crowned, there was TV history as Torvill and Dean took to the ice for their last TV performance. They are embarking on a farewell tour - see more here.
