The twelfth series of Dancing on Ice began airing on ITV on 5 January 2020.[1] During the finale of the eleventh series, it was announced that Dancing on Ice had been renewed for another series.[2] The series is once again being filmed in the purpose-built studio at Bovingdon Airfield, which was set up for the tenth series.[3]

Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby returned as the hosts.[4] On 1 September 2019, it was announced that Jason Gardiner would not be returning as a judge and that series 1 participant and entertainer John Barrowman would replace him.[5] On 22 December 2019, ITV aired Dancing on Ice at Christmas, a special featuring the contestants of series 12, along with previous champion Ray Quinn and series 11 contestant Gemma Collins.[6] Jake Quickenden was also supposed to be performing, but on 13 November 2019, it was announced that he had to pull out due to a neck injury.[7]

This series was the first show[clarification needed] to have a same sex couple.

The competition was won by Joe Swash and his professional partner Alex Murphy. Swash was originally partnered with series 11 winner Alexandra Schauman; however, after she sustained an injury meaning she couldn't perform for the rest of the series. This marks Murphy's first win after being eliminated in the semi final in two series in the row.

The series final on Sunday March 8th 2020 was the last time Dancing on Ice would have a live studio audience present, as Covid-19 restrictions would come into force the following week after the 2020 final aired, leading to the next series of Dancing on Ice being produced without a studio audience present.

Couples[]

On 24 September 2019, Maura Higgins and Michael Barrymore were announced as the first two celebrities who would be participating in the series.[8] More celebrities were revealed in the following days, before the line-up was concluded on 1 October.[9] On 9 October, it was announced that this series will have the first ever same-sex couple.[10][11][12] Comedian and television presenter Michael Barrymore was originally announced as a contestant, but on 18 December 2019, it was announced that he had withdrawn from the show due to a broken hand. Barrymore was replaced by former Blue Peter presenter Radzi Chinyanganya.[13] Model and actress Caprice was originally partnered with Hamish Gaman, but after her first performance they "parted ways" and she was re-partnered with Oscar Peter.[14][15] She later withdrew from the competition on 2 February.[16] Joe Swash was originally partnered with Alexandra Schauman; however, after she sustained an injury meaning she couldn't perform for the rest of the series, he was re-partnered with Alex Murphy on 26 January.
