Email tips@dailymail.com By GERAINT LLEWELLYN FOR MAILONLINE Published: 19:48 EDT, 9 March 2025 | Updated: 19:48 EDT, 9 March 2025 e-mail View comments Dancing On Ice could reportedly be axed just days after Corrie actor Sam Aston was crowed the 2025 champion on Sunday. The ITV series, which is hosted by Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern , has haemorrhaged over a million viewers in the last two years with staff told the 'tired' show, which first launched in 2006, is 'over'.
It comes after MailOnline revealed Holly had turned down a lucrative deal with ITV to front a new series of the classic game show You Bet! after finding a global audience on Celebrity Bear Hunt . According to The Su n the series could be rested, before being revamped and relaunched at a later date, similar to when the show was axed in 2014 and brought back four years later. A source told the publication: 'Viewing figures are remarkably less than they were but they still had almost three million watch the launch show.
There's no denying, though, that the format has become tired and they're not getting the big names they once did'. 'Changes are needed and it's likely it'll be rested and given a new lease of life' but said staff were 'not holding out much hope'. Dancing On Ice could reportedly be axed just days .
