The 2019 series of Dancing On Ice certainly didn't disappoint! As hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield returned, 12 celebrities tied up their ice skates in an attempt to be crowned the Dancing On Ice champion.
With Love Island's Wes Nelson, Strictly Come Dancing's James Jordan and X Factor star Saara Aalto, perform two skates each. Wes and Saara both scored 80 out of 80, whilst James scored 79 as he had struggled with an injury.
After a dance from all the previously eliminated celebrities, it was time to reveal who had finished third. Sadly for Saara and Hamish, they hadn't made it to the final skate. It was left to Wes and Vanessa and James and Alexandra to wow audiences with their interpretation of the Boléro, the skate that Torvil and Dean won Gold for and made history with at the 1984 Winter Olympics.

2 of 11
James Jordan, 2019
James Jordan and Alexandra Schauman won 2019's trophy despite some fierce competition from Love Island's Wes Nelson and his partner, last year's winning professional Vanessa Bauer.
Judges called their rendition of the famous Bolero "the best the show had ever seen" despite the first dance of the final failing to top the leader board.
Early on in the 2019 competition, James was criticized for having an unfair advantage over the other contestants because of his extensive dancing experience.
