The popular presenter, 47, has hosted the show alongside Holly Willoughby since last year after former presenter, Phillip Schofield , parted ways with ITV after he admitted lying about his relationship with a young runner on This Morning.
Stephen, who has a host of ITV spin-off shows under his belt, has proved to be a popular choice with Dancing On Ice viewers and now he's revealed he's going to take to the ice for the series finale in a move he admits could be ⁘dangerous⁘.
Speaking about his ambitious plans for the show, he told This Morning's Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley : ⁘I'm practicing to skate. I'm going to try and get to the end of the series and skate on the last show. But I'm telling you now, it is so hard. People don't realise how hard it is. I know Strictly is an amazing show, but Dancing on Ice is very dangerous. When you go to an ice rink at Christmas , you just laugh at people falling over."
When asked by Ben if he planned to get his skates on for the live finale, Stephen said: ⁘Fingers crossed.⁘ However, when asked if he'd be taking to the ice with a rendition of Olympic judges Christopher Dean and Jayne Torvill's iconic Bolero, he joked: ⁘I'm not going that far!⁘
Dancing On Ice is one of the jewels in ITV's crown, however, there has been some unrest from viewers this season after the skate-off was axed. Traditionally a celebrity was given another chance to save themselves on the ice if they found themselves in the bottom two, but now they're given their marching orders if they've got the lowest number of votes.
Ferne McCann fell foul of the rule change when she was eliminated on Sunday. Despite not being in bottom after the judges' vote, the public failed to pick up their phones, leaving one fan fuming, who tweeted that the skate-off axe was ⁘b******s⁘.
