After surviving the first vote of the final Joey and Nile got the ultimate chance to skate their version of the famous Bolero.
After a tense few moments, it was time for Nile Wilson and Joey Essex to find out their fate. It was then down to the public once again to choose who they wanted to be crowned the 2023 champions of Dancing On Ice. The votes meant it was The Vivienne and Colin Grafton who finished the 2023 series in third place and missed out on the chance to skate the Bolero. Nile alongside Olivia took to the ice and performed a poignant Bolero routine that showcased just how far the gymnast has come on the ice. Nile Wilson and Olivia Smart excelled with that skate scoring an impressive 40 out of 40. While nobody won the battle all three couples impressed on the ice showcasing what they can do.
