Series chronology

For the first time in the show's history, Torvill and Dean were unable to perform the Boléro, as Torvill had ruptured her bicep in training and required surgery.

Olympic artistic gymnast Nile Wilson and Olivia Smart were announced as the winners on 12 March 2023. Nile Wilson was also the first male skater to ever perform the dangerous manoeuvre "the headbanger," which one skater is picked up by their ankle and spun around by their partner.

This was the final series to be presented by Schofield, following his departure from ITV just over two months after the series concluded in the aftermath of revelations over his personal life.
