The winner of Dancing on Ice 2025 has been crowned as Sam Aston along with his professional partner, Molly Lanaghan.
Tonight, Michaela Strachan, Sam Aston and Anton Ferdinand took to the ice for the final time, performing three routines, including their own take on Torvill and Dean’s iconic Bolero routine from the Sarajevo Winter Olympics in 1984. Anton placed third following his showcase number to Let’s Go Crazy by Prince And The Revolution. Last weekend, Anton landed in the skate-off against TOWIE star Dan Edgar. After a tense skate-off, the judges decided to save Anton, meaning Dan just missed out on a place in the final.
However, all three couples battled it out, with just one emerging victorious. Previously, predictors revealed the far-out favourite was Sam. Before the night, Michael was the highest scoring celebrity of the season after she was given an impressive 49/50 points.

The BonusCodeBets.co.uk Supercomputer, analysed the key traits of all 16 previous champions to predict this year’s winner, suggests that Aston will beat the bookies favourite Michaela Strachan. The reason being that Corrie star Sam Aston most closely met the Supercomputer’s description of a typical winner, as almost half of previous winners (47%) have been actors.
Tonight that theory was proved, as Sam won. The skating show just wrapped its 17th series as judges Ashley Banjo, Oti Mabuse, Jayne Torvill, and Christopher Dean returned to the panel once more and gave their expert review of every performance.
However, reports suggest that the show could be coming to an end after 19 years on air. Over the past two years, the ITV show has lost more than one million viewers, with the 2023 launch episode being watched by 4.1 million people.

This series has not managed to make it over 3million, according to official overnight ratings from BARB. According to reports, ITV bosses will only keep the expensive-to-run show going if it reaches good ratings, something it has struggled to achieve this year.
One source said: “There are very real fears this is the end of the road for Dancing on Ice. It’s had a good run for nearly 20 years and has a very loyal set of viewers who really love it but the sad truth is there’s just not enough of them. We need bums on seats but the ratings have dropped to a point where it’s difficult to justify the cost.”
