Dancing On Ice may have been on our screens since 2006, but there's no denying the fact the 2022 series has been the most competitive to date, with the talent levels higher than ever thanks to Brendan Cole, Regan Gascoigne, Kimberley Wyatt, Connor Ball and Kye Whyte.

With the semi-final taking place last Sunday (13th March), a double elimination happened, setting the final up nicely with three contestants.

However, despite many thinking the Dancing On Ice 2022 final would take place one week later on Sunday 20th March, it's now been postponed one week to accommodate for the football.

ITV bosses today announced their schedule for the Quarter Final round of The FA Cup, featuring Crystal Palace v Everton and Nottingham Forest or Huddersfield Town v Liverpool, which will take place on Sunday 20th.

The Liverpool game is scheduled to kick off at 6pm, meaning Dancing On Ice's usual Sunday evening slot is taken.

The Dancing On Ice final is now scheduled to take place on Sunday 27th March.
