Dancing On Ice reveals semi-finalists as tearful sixth star is eliminated
The final is just two weeks away...
Dancing On Ice 2025 has eliminated its sixth celebrity after weeks of shocking exits.
Tonight, Mollie Pearce had to skate off against Dan Edgar after they both landed in the dreaded bottom two, having acquired the lowest combined judges’ scores and public votes.
Unfortunately for a tearful Mollie and her pro partner Colin Grafton, their time on the show is over, and that Dancing On Ice trophy is no longer within reach.
All four judges – Oti Mabuse, Ashley Banjo, Jayne Torvill, and Christopher Dean – cast a vote when it came to crunch time, but opinion was split, as three votes went to Dan, while Oti voted to save Mollie.
Chatting with hosts Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern after the result was confirmed, The Traitors runner-up assured them that her weeping wasn’t out of sadness.
‘Mollie, we are gonna miss you so much,’ Holly told her. ‘You have been pure joy and I feel like you have loved this experience, especially with Colin.’

‘Honestly, I’ve met a friend for life and this was the experience of a lifetime, I’ve loved it,’ she added, barely able to finish speaking due to being choked up.
Her elimination comes after all couples gave it their all this weekend for a musicals extravaganza, which welcomed routines from the likes of Oliver and Cabaret to the ice.
Mollie skated to Mamma Mia tonight from the show of the same name, with her routine even including the daring headbanger move.
The episode also saw the leaderboard topped with the first 40 of the series, with retired footballer Anton Ferdinand achieving the perfect score, having left Oti in tears with his number.
Axed pair Mollie and Colin join EastEnders queen Charlie Brooks in the eliminated squad after she was sent home last week in what viewers branded the ‘worst’ result yet.

Olympic rowing legend Sir Steve Redgrave lasted just three weeks in the competition, while Towie alum Ferne McCann was second to hang up her skates.
The first elimination saw this year’s Dancing On Ice get off to a sour start, with Hollyoaks actress Chelsee Healey the first on the chopping block.
