Two celebrities are to be cut from Dancing On Ice in the first double elimination of the series.
The two skaters left at the bottom of the pack will be sent home at the end of Sunday night’s episode of the ITV show.
This weekend’s instalment will see the skaters tackling a special challenge set by judges Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean, Jason Gardiner and Ashley Banjo – the end-to-end step sequence.
The celebrity contestants and their professional partners have to incorporate a sequence that goes from one end of the rink to the other.

They must be perfectly in unison and cannot hold on to each other or be touching in any way – meaning the stars will be solo skating for around 30 seconds.
Contestants still in the running include Antony Cotton, Brooke Vincent, Donna Air and Jake Quickenden.
Alex Beresford, Kem Cetinay and Max Evans are also still on the programme, which has returned after a four-year hiatus with Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby back as hosts.
This year’s series has already seen the elimination of Great British Bake Off’s Candice Brown, Hollyoaks actress Stephanie Waring, Bucks Fizz star Cheryl Baker, Olympian Perri Shakes-Drayton, and singer Lemar.
Although we’re only mid-way through the current series, already ITV has confirmed Dancing On Ice will return again next year.
Meanwhile, there is cause for concern for contestant Jake this weekend as he’s been banned from seeing skate partner Vanessa Bauer.
Jake told fans on Tuesday that poor Vanessa has come down with the flu and he’s been barred from seeing her for 72 hours as she’s contagious.
That means they haven’t been on the ice together ahead of Sunday’s skate – or even finished their routine.
Eek!
A sombre Jake explained: “So, we’ve hit a roadblock at training because Vanessa has the flu and I can’t come into contact with her for 72 hours, so we haven’t got a routine. I don’t know what I’m going to do.”
Trying to stay positive, Jake even suggested HE choreograph the skate in Vanessa’s absence.

“Vanessa always comes up with great routines and now she’s poorly in bed with the flu. I don’t know… do you reckon I should try to choreograph one?”
Hey, why not give it a go!
Dancing On Ice continues on ITV on Sunday night at 6pm.
