Format

Each week the celebrities and their partners perform a live ice dance routine. The three (as of series 6) judges (commonly known as the Ice Panel) judge each performance and give a mark between 0.0 and 10.0, 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 fewest votes leaves the competition.

Top weekly scores

It must be mentioned that judges were considerably more generous with their marks in series one and two than in later series especially during the early weeks of the competition. A decision was made before series three began that marks in the early stages would begin far lower than previous years to show progression more effectively. In series 6 the scoring system changed to three judges and a mark out of 10. This must also be taken into account when comparing the average marks received by each skater over the course of the six series.
