Dancing On Ice has been postponed due a major schedule shake-up on ITV.
Fans of the skating competition will be forced to wait until March 20 to watch the show, with the final now airing a week later on March 27.
Instead, the FA Cup Quarter Final will air on ITV this Sunday.
Dancing On Ice postponed on ITV
The football match, Liverpool v Nottingham Forest, kicks off during Dancing On Ice‘s unusual slot at 6.30 pm.
As a result, production for the ITV show has been temporarily put on hold.
The show’s finalists will have an extra week to train ahead of the final.

Another added: “What a boring weekend that is gonna be.”
In addition, a third complained: “You would think by now there would be designated sports channels.”
However, one joked: “Dancing on Ice Grand Final delayed so FA Cup Quarter Final can be aired… this is the end of civilisation as we know it! #DancingOnIce.”
Who left DOI this weekend?
It comes days after Stef Reid left the competition this weekend.
The paralympian went against Kye Whyte in the skate-off and the judges decided to send the BMX racer through.
This meant Stef and her pro partner Andy Buchanan were sent packing.
During her departure, she said: “I have absolutely loved every moment and it’s not something I ever thought I’d be able to do.”
Turning to partner Andy, Stef added: “I can’t thank you enough, you’ve made it.”

“Nope. Wrong save there guys. Stef much better #dancingonice,” one tweeted, while another said: “Think the judges have made the wrong decision there.”
