Earlier on in the night, both Mollie Pearce and Dan Edgar failed to impress viewers despite receiving high scores for their respective ice-dancing routines.

Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern made the nail biting announcement as all four couples received scores of of over 35 points.

However, both stars recieved the least amount of votes from the public which meant they had to skate once again in a head-to-head duel.

It was down to The Traitors personality and The Only Way Is Essex star Dan Edgar to battle it out on the ice.

Both respective pairings faced stiff competition in the skate off after a series of impressive performances during Musicals Night.

Former footballer former footballer Anton Ferdinand, Corrie actor Sam Aston, and Springwatch presenter Michaela Strachan were sent straight through by the viewers.

After the two tense performances, it was time for the judges to decide to save their favourite competitor to skate in the semi-finals.

The Dancing on Ice judges chose to save Dan for his Oklahoma-inspired musical performance, but the judges were split.

Despite Oti wanting to send Mollie through, it all came down to head judge Jayne Torvill who chose to save Dan.

Now, only four competitors remain to battle it out in the long-running ITV celebrity skating competition.

Next week, Anton Ferdinand, Mollie Pearce, Dan Edgar, Sam Aton and Michaela Strachan will compete for a place in the final.

This comes after actress Chelsee Healey, Ferne McCann, Olympic rower Steve Redgrave were all eliminated.

Love Island’s Chris Taylor was previously forced to skate away and former EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks was axed by the judges last week.

Last year, former Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas emerged as the victor after beating Radio 1’s Adele Roberts and Made In Chelsea personality Miles Nazaire.
