We have our 2023 Dancing On Ice winners, people!
After a nail-biting final of showcases and perfect 40s with The Vivienne, Joey Essex, and Nile Wilson, there could only be one couple to lift the trophy.
And it was Nile and professional partner Olivia who secured the title of Dancing On Ice champions 2023 in a truly spectacular moment.
Drag queen The Vivienne – real name James Lee Williams – and partner Colin Grafton were announced earlier on as third place, narrowly missing out on the chance to skate Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean’s iconic Olympic routine.
And after two gorgeous boleros from gymnast Nile and pro Olivia Smart, and Towie’s Joey and partner Vanessa Bauer, it was certainly a tough one to call.
Understandably, winner Nile was left in a real state of shock when his name was called.
More to come…
