Why is Dancing on Ice not on TV today?
The skates have been put back on the shelf for a week
Try to turn on your TV tonight, and you might be surprised to discover that Dancing on Ice isn't airing a new episode, just a day after ITV also skipped an instalment of Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.
So what gives? Have all the celebrities broken enough bones to finally call the whole thing off? Well, no - despite plenty of injuries and illness (and the time Philip Schofield missed a week due to COVID) this year hasn't been nearly as cursed as last year, when the show really was force off-air due to lack of healthy, uninjured participants.
But despite a smoother run, this week is still missing an episode, and not just any episode. This week was supposed to be the grand final!
So, why is Dancing on Ice not on TV today, and when will it be back? Here is all you need to know.

Why is Dancing on Ice not on TV today?
The changes to ITV's schedule this weekend are due to the reason that many of you will likely have already suspected - sport is getting in the way of our favourite entertainment shows once again.

While the Six Nations rugby tournament pushed Saturday Night Takeaway off of the schedule last night, it is actually a different sport responsible for Dancing on Ice missing the week as the football will be airing instead.
The FA Cup Quarterfinal game between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool will be on our screens instead tonight as there was no way to squeeze them both into the schedule.
When will Dancing on Ice be back on TV?
Dancing on Ice 2022 will return for its grand final on Sunday 27th March 2022.
The good news is that we only have a one-week break from our normal Sunday night schedule so it will not be too much longer until we find out who will be skating to glory in the 2022 series of Dancing On Ice.
We'll give you the lowdown of what is in store for it as soon as we hear more but as it is the final, expect quite the show to be put on!
Dancing on Ice is back on ITV next Sunday at 7.30pm. For more to watch, check out our TV Guide. Also visit our hub for more Entertainment news.
