Dancing On Ice 2020 fans voted Joe Swash as series 12 winner, beating favourite Perri Kiely in the live final.
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, actor and TV presenter Joe, took the crown with partner Alex Murphy despite struggling in the early stages of the competition.
Some viewers were thrilled to see dark horse Joe, who is engaged to Stacey Solomon, win after he started off in week one at the bottom of the leaderboard.
But some viewers were left shocked that Diversity star Perri lost out after his “outstanding” Boléro performance and claimed he’d been “robbed”.
A stunned Joe looked overwhelmed as he was crowned champion. He said: “Honestly, this has been the most amazing experience and to share it with Alex…”
2019 – James Jordan

James Jordan and his skating partner Alexandra Schauman were crowned the winners.
They beat Wes Nelson who came in second and Saara Aalto was third. Lifting the trophy, James – who was nursing a shoulder injury, said as he fought back tears: “I can’t believe it. Oh my Gosh. I couldn’t have given it any more.”
He said the only reason he had to work so hard was to beat Wes.
The three final contenders each had to skate two routines, one new and one favourite from earlier in the 10-week series.
Wes and Saara both scored top marks of 40 out of 40 for their first skate while James was just behind on 39 out of 40.
However, he pulled it back up for his second performance, which saw all three receive 40 from the panel.
