Coronation Street actor Sam Aston has been crowned the winner of Dancing on Ice 2025, alongside his professional skating partner Molly Lanaghan. The final episode capped off a demanding two months of competition.
Here’s the Lowdown: Aston triumphed over fellow finalists Dan Edgar (TOWIE), former footballer Anton Ferdinand, and TV presenter Michaela Strachan. After performances scored by judges Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean, Ashley Banjo, and Oti Mabuse, the final decision rested with the public vote. Anton Ferdinand finished third.
What This Means Now: Aston’s victory marks the culmination of a challenging season that began with 12 celebrities, but was reduced to 11 after Dame Sarah Storey withdrew due to a fractured ankle sustained in training.
The Bigger Picture: This season of Dancing on Ice involved a lot of injuries, hard-work and determination. Aston’s win highlights the importance of the public vote in the competition’s outcome, after the finalists put in some show-stopping performances. He succeeds Ryan Thomas, who won the series last year.
