in series two. In mid 2007 it was announced that
Dancing on Ice Defrosted will not return to accompany the third series as the audience attracted is out of ITV2's target range.
Dancing on Ice Exclusive will not return either.
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 the celebrites and their partners perform a live ice dance routine. The five judges (commonly known as the Ice Panel) judge each performance and give a mark between 0.0 and 6.0, depending on the performance. These total scores create a leaderboard which combines with the public vote in order to determine the two lowest placed couples. As this is the case, the pair with the lowest score from the judges can avoid being in the bottom two if the public vote for them.
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.
