Dancing on Ice 2021 Semi-Finals – Colin Jackson, Faye Brookes and Sonny Jay skate through to the finals
CORRIE'S Faye Brookes and Capital DJ Sonny Jay skated through to make it to the finals of Dancing on Ice next week.
They will be joined by ex Olympic hero Colin Jackson who beat Lady Leshurr in the skate-off to win the last place in the finals.
All stars put on stellar performances, with Lady Leshurr and Brendyn, Faye and her pro partner Matt Evers joint top of the leaderboard.
However after the public voted Faye and Sonny through to the finals, Lady Leshurr had to face Colin in a tense skate-off.
It was left to Christopher Dean to make the final call after the other judges gave them equal votes.
Lady Leshurr was sent home but was praised for her emotional skate - dedicated to her late sister who tragically passed away after battling breast cancer last year.
Colin broke down in tears as he was voted through. He had performed a skate dedicated to his late father during the course of the evening, while Faye's stunning skate was dedicated to her brother who battled Leukaemia and survived.
Fans broke down as they watched Sonny's emotional skate in tribute to his late best friend and producer Joe.
The glittering final will be on ITV next week at 6pm.
