Dancing on Ice judge Christopher Dean has broken his silence on the future of the ITV show amid reports of "low ratings".
The star shared that he had no idea "yet" if the show would be renewed following the conclusion of the 2025 season.
Alongside his Olympic skating partner Jayne Torvill, Dean has been a judge on the ITV show since it began all the way back in 2006.
The programme, which matches celebrities and professional skaters, briefly ended in 2014, before making a comeback in 2018.

The ITV Dancing on Ice judge told Saga Magazine: “Jayne and I decided to call our new tour, which starts this month, Our Last Dance because this really is the end.
“There may be another series of Dancing On Ice – we don’t know yet.”
Last year, Dean and Torvill issued a joint statement saying they had “no plans to step back from Dancing On Ice and hope that the series continues for years to come”.

Dean also shared that he was moving back to the UK from the US after politics there became “very polarised” and he was “worried about saying the wrong thing”.
“We (me and partner Karen Barber) found a place in Yorkshire and, later this year, we’re planning to hit the road in our camper van,” he added.
When asked about when he will tie the knot with fellow dancer Barber, his partner of more than a decade, Dean said: “I’d like to announce that… at the moment, we’re happy with the way things are. Let’s see what happens.”
