As part of ITV's new revamped schedule at the start of 2008, from the third series, the show now aired on a Sunday night and featured updated music and new titles as well as redesigned graphics. The third series finale was a massive draw for ITV pulling an average 11.7 million viewers (up from 9.6 million the previous year) peaking at 12.6 million viewers over the two hour slot, up over a million from season two.

The fourth series began on 11 January 2009. The show has also been commissioned up until 2011 with Torvill and Dean as coaches for which they will be paid £250,000 each series.

Format

Each week all the celebrities perform a dance routine with a professional skating partner. The judges (commonly known as the Ice Panel) rate the performance using the ice dancing judging system, each giving a score of between 0.0 and 6.0. The scores create a leaderboard which forms 50% of the final version, the other half of it comes from the public vote.

Once the scores and votes are combined to form the final leaderboard for that week's show, the two couples at the bottom compete in a final showdown known as the "Skate Off", where they perform their routine again. Once both couples have performed their routines for the judging panel, the five judges decide on who deserves to stay and cast their votes, based on their second performance. The couple with the most votes from the judges receives a place in the following week's show, while the couple with the least votes leaves the competition.

Required element

In each show, there is an element that the skaters are required to perform as part of their routines. These required elements have included:
  • Assisted and unassisted jumps
    Figure skating jump

    Figure skating jumps are a major element of competitive figure skating. Different jumps are identified by the take-off edge and the number of revolutions completed....
  • Use of a prop
  • Forming a spiral position, facing each other with interlocked hands
  • Flying above the ice, suspended by a harness
  • A one footed dance spin
  • Shadow Steps
  • Classic moves of Torvill and Dean, sometimes with a choice between them
  • Cross rolls
  • Toe step sequences
  • Pair spin
  • One unique move
  • Solo entrance and solo skate
  • Change of edge
