The 2019 series of Dancing On Ice certainly didn't disappoint! As hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield returned, and 12 celebrities tied up their ice skates in an attempt to be crowned the Dancing On Ice champion.

The final saw Love Island's Wes Nelson, Strictly Come Dancing's James Jordan and X Factor star Saara Aalto, perform two skates each. Wes and Saara both scored 80 out of 80, whilst James scored 79 as he had struggled with an injury. Read the full Dancing On Ice final summary.

After a dance from all the previously eliminated celebrities, it was time to reveal who had finished third. Sadly for Saara and Hamish, they hadn't made it to the final skate. It was left to Wes and Vanessa and James and Alexandra to wow audiences with their interpretation of the Boléro, the skate that Torvil and Dean won Gold for and made history with at the 1984 Winter Olympics.

James Jordan, 2019

James Jordan and Alexandra Schauman won 2019's trophy despite some fierce competition from Love Island's Wes Nelson and his partner, last year's winning professional Vanessa Bauer.Judges called their rendition of the famous Bolero "the best the show had ever seen" despite the first dance of the final failing to top the leader board.

After Jake Quickenden was crowned the winner in 2018, the 2019 series of Dancing On Ice has certainly been a dramatic one.

As well as a number of stars picking up injuries, including James Jordan, Brian McFadden, Melody Thornton, Ryan Sidebottom, Jane Danson, and Wes Nelson, TOWIE star Gemma Collins suffered THAT fall, and later continued her feud with judge Jason Gardiner.

However, despite all of the drama, all of the eliminated celebs returned for the final show and put on a great performance.

Meanwhile, although nothing has been officially confirmed by ITV, we hope that Dancing On Ice will return in 2020!
