Dancing on Ice final forced off air in major ITV schedule shake-up
THE Dancing On Ice final has been forced off air to make way for a football match.
Viewers were expecting to find out who wins the series on March 20th, but will now have to wait until the 27th, thanks to the major schedule shake up.
ITV have made the decision to air the FA Cup Quarter final and there will be a double bill on the Sunday.
The second game, Liverpool v Nottingham Forest, kicks off at 6pm, meanwhile Dancing On Ice’s usual 6.30pm start time won’t be possible.
ITV have confirmed the final will take place a week later – and the show will be having a week off.
On Sunday night paralympian Stef Reid became the latest celebrity eliminated, in a week that saw three contestants earn perfect scores from the judges.
