OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Dancing On Ice’ stars will still receive their full fee.
Although this season of the show has been cut short, due to injuries and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, contestants will still receive full pay.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “The decision to cut ‘Dancing On Ice’ short doesn’t mean any of the stars or professionals will miss out on their pay.
“Each will receive the full series pay and no-one on the show will be penalised because it’s going to be a shorter run.”
Producers working on programme have brought the final forward to March 14 – rather than March 21 – due to a lack of contestants after injuries and COVID-19 diagnoses.
An insider previously told The Sun Online: “Everybody is absolutely gutted that it’s come to this. But ultimately, due to injuries and shooting the show during a pandemic, they’ve been left with no choice.
“They can’t compromise on the quality of the programme, so in order to keep it to the high standards that everyone expects, they’ve decided to trim the series by a show.
“It means they’ll get to give all the skaters and celebrities a proper semi-final and a grand finale they all deserve.”
And a spokesperson for ‘Dancing On Ice’ said: “ITV have taken the decision to move the final of ‘Dancing on Ice’ forward by one week. The competition’s final will now take place on Sunday 14th March.
“Our production team and cast have delivered a fantastic show during incredibly challenging times.
“Continuing to make the best TV for our viewers is our top priority and we look forward to the rest of the series.”
