OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Dancing on Ice’ is reportedly set to make a shock return to TV. The ITV programme – which saw celebrities learn to figure skate – was once among the most-watched shows in the UK and it is rumoured to be on channel boss Kevin Lygo’s hitlist for the year. A source told The Sun newspaper: “Kevin always thought ITV axing ‘Dancing on Ice’ was a mistake so now the idea of bringing it back is being looked at. “It was a smash hit, and even at its worst was still pulling in more than some of the shows currently on telly – particularly in the Sunday night slot. “It’s very early days and nothing has been commissioned just yet but it’s definitely on the to-do list. A Sunday night slot would make a lot of sense.” At the peak of its popularity, ‘Dancing on Ice’ – which was originally hosted by Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby – attracted 13 million viewers. But its audience dwindled over time and it was scrapped altogether in 2014. However, Kevin – who was appointed as ITV’s Director of Television earlier this year – claimed in 2016 that the broadcaster had made a mistaken in taking the programme off the air. He previously said: “I think when ‘Dancing On Ice’ was cut, it was felt, ‘oh we need to refresh, it’s gone down a bit in the ratings’. “I watched it, it was the most lovely family show and a really good feeling and distinctive and brilliantly produced, and actually I wish it had gone on a bit longer.” ‘Dancing on Ice’ could reportedly replace ‘Dance Dance Dance’, which is presented by Alesha Dixon.
