Tonight Suzanne Was Crowned Dancing On Ice Champion

After six months of gruelling training, spending close to 600 hours on the ice, and having been whittled down from twelve, the three remaining celebrities battled it out in the final of Dancing on Ice.The three finalists first had to do a dance involving a flying element, and then each had to perform their favourite performance from all their dances so far.Tonight everything was about the 'Public Vote'. While the judges gave marks, tonight these didn’t count, and the public vote only determined who won.While Zaraah narrowly avoided a wardrobe malfunction, Suzanne received the first ever double clean sweep of 6’s by the judges dancing to Time to Say Goodbye and both Music by Madonna. Her performance left her, Jayne Torvill, Holly Willoughby, Karen Barber and her son Corey in the audience in floods of tears!The celebs did two performances each and then there was a public vote. Zaraah Abrahams was the first celebrity to be knocked out.Zaraah said: "We’ve had the best time. I can’t even explain how amazing tonight has been. Thank you to everyone for being so amazing."

Chris and Frankie and Suzanne and Matt skated the bolero for the title.

Chris skated first and the judges said:Robin Cousins: You connected beautifully but what I missed from you is the fun, it was too intense - I love it when you are just you." Jason Gardiner: "I disagree with you Robin, the bolero is supposed to have that intensity and Chris I have to say something here; finally you connected with Frankie!"

Suzanne danced second and the judges said:

Suzanne said: "I have had the most amazing time and I am going to miss dancing with you Matt every day and to dance the Bolero was an honour."

Nicky: "Suzanne all night you have been on fire. It has been wonderful. You can do everything and it’s the way you present, your partnership is extraordinary. You are my winner tonight." After the dances they said:

Chris: "No matter what the result I have to thank everyone I have had such a great time."

Suzanne said: "I have loved every single second of this show. I want to thank Torvill and Dean and everyone on and off the ice."

Chris said: "I don’t mind. I’ve got to the final. I want to thank my mum and everyone. I want to thank my coach and everyone."

What the Judges said on the night:
Zaraah and partner Fred danced to One Day I will Fly Away. The judges gave them a total of 26.0 points.

Zaraah said "It was painful but with the lights, bubbles, and the audience screaming it was great"

Robin (5.5): It was beautiful, very controlled and graceful. You have a Lovely connection with Fred and your arms have been exquisite throughout the competition. It was beautiful.

Jason Gardiner ( scored 5.0): First of all Zaraah congratulations for making it through to the final. You poise and arms are beautiful. I would have liked to have seen a little bit more variation in the bottom half of your body but apart from that it was beautiful."

For their second performance Zaraah and Fred danced to Diamonds and Pearls again, the favourite performance of all they had done so far. The judges them awarded them a total of 26.5 points.

Zaraah said: "I enjoyed this so so much. I saw tears in Fred’s eyes!"

Jason Gardiner (scored 5.5): "I thoroughly enjoyed this. To see the progression in your interpretation, and your confidence, and your connection with Fred is just sublime." Robin Cousins (scored 5.5): "I concur with everything Jason said. There is a quality of skating that allows your blades to naturally now, glide across the ice."

Chris and partner Frankie danced to Fly Me to the Moon. The judges gave them a total of 25.5 points.

Chris said: "That was fun, this has been so much fun! I nearly got stuck but apart from that it was alright!" Nicky Slater ( scored 5.5): "Well I look at both performance and skating. What stood out for me were the controlling movements. You took the lead and were leading summersaults. You were still performing to me, you were selling the song whilst up there and your transitions were great."

Ruthie Henshall (scored 4.5): "Maybe it was the trousers but I thought your transitions were really clumsy. I love what you do and have been a huge fan of your from the beginning but that was not my favourite, sorry."

Chris said: "I thoroughly enjoyed, it, I loved that song and I’m having such a fun night."

Karen Barber (scored 6): I thoroughly enjoyed it. You’re one of the best things that has ever happened to Dancing on Ice.
