The 2025 series has come to an end

Dancing on Ice star Sam Aston has been announced as the 2025 winner – but it’s fair to say the result has ruffled a few feathers.

The ITV show wrapped up its 17th series on Sunday (March 9) and aired an epic finale – fronted by Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern.

The remaining contestants, Anton Ferdinand, Sam Aston, and Michaela Strachan battled it out to become the champ.

However, it was Corrie star Sam who was announced as the winner of the 2025 series.
