What time is the Dancing On Ice 2021 final on ITV, who are the finalists and who is favourite to win

It's been a rollercoaster of a series but the Dancing On Ice 2021 final is already here.

The ITV skating competition was welcomed back on to screens in January with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Scofield back rink side as hosts.

But while week one went without a hitch - except Joe-Warren Plant's unfortunate fall - the rest of the series had its fair share of drama.

So much so, the series is finishing a week earlier than originally planned.

The final will now take place tonight, Sunday March 14, at 6pm with either Sonny Jay, Faye Brookes or Colin Jackson set to be crowned Dancing On Ice 2021 champions.

DOI has been struck by various issues throughout the series with five celebrities having to withdraw from the competition.

Denise Van Outen was the first celeb forced to quit after a fall which left her with three bone fractures in her shoulder as well as a partial dislocation.

Comedian Rufus Hound then had to withdraw following a positive Covid test followed by Emmerdale star Joe-Warren for the same reason.

Billie Shepherd was also forced to quit the competition after an accident in rehearsals.

The former TOWIE star bumped her head in a fall and suffered moderate concussion. As she had missed the previous week due to the death of her Nanny Wendy, Billie wasn't allowed to continue.

Jason Donovan was the last star to pull out due to a back injury.

For the first time, the ITV show had to use both of its reserve celebrities with Matt Richardson and Amy Tinkler both stepping in before being eliminated in the skate-off.
