ITV has announced that Dancing On Ice will be taking a break this Sunday (21 February) - there will be no live show.

Five celebrities have had to leave the competition early for injury and positive coronavirus tests: comedian Rufus Hound and Emmerdale star Joe-Warren Plant both tested positive for Covid 19, while Jason Donovan, Denise Van Outen and reality personality Billie Shepherd had to withdraw due to injuries.

Now, the show has decided to 'pause' to protect the welfare of those taking part in the show.

A statement from ITV reads: "ITV have taken the decision to pause Dancing on Ice this week and there will be no live show on Sunday 21st February. Each week our production team and cast have delivered a fantastic show during incredibly challenging times. The welfare of all of those involved is important to us and we felt it prudent to take a week’s break at this juncture.

Continuing to make the best TV for our viewers is of paramount importance to us and we look forward to resuming the competition next week, with the show back live on Sunday 28th February."

But we will still be able to watch some Sunday night skating. In its place will be a one off special at 6pm on ITV, Dancing On Ice: The Greatest Show On Ice, which will celebrate the most memorable moments in the show’s history.

DJ Sonny Jay, Rebekah Vardy, Lady Leshurr, Colin Jackson and Faye Brookes all remain in the competition, with Jason hoping to return on 28th.

"I’ve had back pain the past couple of days and I’m under doctor's orders to take it easy and sit this week out," he explained earlier this month.

"I’m resting up, I’ll be watching from home and cheering everyone on and I look forward to returning next week."

Dancing On Ice will return on Sunday 28th February.

  • Becca Cosmetics Is Closing In September — Here’s Everything You Need To Know

    Becca Cosmetics — the brand that brought many of us our first big-girl highlighters in college and one of the first that really taught us how to glow — announced that it will be closing down later this year. In a statement posted to Instagram and on Becca’s website this morning, the brand shared that its products will no longer be available to shop after September 2021. “The global pandemic has had an impact on everyone around the world on many levels. It has also had a tremendous impact on so many businesses,” the brand wrote. “At BECCA, an accumulation of challenges, together with the global impact of COVID-19, has sadly been more than our business can withstand, and we have had to make the heartbreaking decision to close down the BECCA brand at the end of September 2021.” Becca has worked with various mental health organisations over the years, and pledged to continue throughout the rest of its tenure. “We’ve done meaningful work supporting mental wellness with the JED Foundation and Mental Health Mates and will continue to do so through our commitment to The Trevor Project this coming June,” the statement reads. According to the brand, Becca products will be available to purchase online until the end of September 2021 or until they sell out, but “the brand will ultimately be shut down permanently.” Fans sent an outpour of love to the brand and its employees in the comments on social media. “Very sad to see you go. Lovely highlighters, under-eye corrector, and lipsticks,” one Instagram user wrote. “This is so sad. I am such a fan since day one of everything you do, and it’s heartbreaking to see Becca go. Thank you for all the love, support, and amazing products you’ve created for us throughout the years.” I was never personally connected to BECCA like I am a lot of brands but this just stings 🥺💔 The shimmering skin perfector had a HUGE impact in the makeup world and I feel like panic-buying every shade 🥲 I’ll miss you @BECCAcosmetics 🥺 pic.twitter.com/n7Gp52G3tT— Kendall Alfred (@kendallalfred) February 24, 2021 The public response to Becca’s news is a testament to the influence and power of the brand. Since launching in 2001, the company has released a wide variety of collections and launches that became some of the buzziest, most viral makeup products to date. In 2019, a market study by research firm The NPD Group named Becca’s Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed the best-selling highlighter in the U.S. Becca has also had an impressive roster of collaborations with celebrities and influencers like Jaclyn Hill, Chrissy Teigen, Khloe Kardashian, and most recently Barbie Ferreira.

    The first thing many of us will want to do when the majority of restrictions end on June 21? Reunite with family and friends we’ve spent minimal time with over the past year. It will finally be the time to celebrate all those missed events: from milestone birthdays to engagements and new additions to the family. The best way to do this is, of course, on a holiday – and the UK has lots of amazing self-catering holiday lets that are perfectly suited to large group gatherings.

Of course, the roadmap could shift and change, but for now this is a date for the diary you won’t want to miss. Just make sure you have a good cancellation policy with whoever you book with, should you need to amend your stay.
