Series Number:7
Num Episodes:23
Network:ITV
Module1:
Professional Winner:Nina Ulanova
Presenter:Phillip Schofield
Christine Bleakley
Judges:Robin Cousins
Louie Spence
Katarina Witt

The seventh series of Dancing on Ice aired from on 8 January to 25 March 2012, on ITV.[1] Phillip Schofield returned as presenter, but Holly Willoughby was replaced by Christine Bleakley.[2] Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean returned to mentor the celebrities, with Karen Barber returning as head coach. This series was judged by Robin Cousins, Louie Spence, and Katarina Witt. The show moved back to its original location of Elstree Studios, which had been used during the show's first five series, but still used the same layout introduced in the previous series.

Emmerdale actor Matthew Wolfenden and Nina Ulanova won the series on 25 March 2012, while Hollyoaks actress Jorgie Porter and Matt Evers finished in second place, and The X Factor contestant Chico and Jodeyne Higgins finished in third.

Couples

On 24 January 2012, it was revealed that the 12 remaining couples would be going head-to-head in individual skating battles, where each couple were paired up and performed their own routine at the same time to the same song. The judges then decided which couple they thought skated best, automatically guaranteeing them a place in the following week's show. They did not hand out any scores. At the end of the battles, the six couples who did not receive immunity from the judges faced the public vote, where one couple was eliminated.[3]
