Who's made the final?
Dancing on Ice has axed two more couples in a tear-filled semi-final, as we skate into the finals.
The five pairs of semi-finalists were put to the test this week, kicking off the show with their first solo dance, followed by performances to the contestants' most meaningful songs.
All five couples poured their hearts into their performances in the most personal dances yet – but in the end the public voted to send Kimberly Wyatt, Connor Ball and Kye Whyte to the skate-off.
The judges were left to decide on the one pair that would make it through, choosing to keep Kimberley and say goodbye to both Connor and Kye.
Our five celebrities started on the ice in a choreographed group dance to 'We are Heroes Tonight' by Janji, each showing off a special skill. Kimberly rose to the top of the leaderboard, while Brendan and Kye trailed behind in fourth and fifth place.
Kye Whyte and partner Tippy Packard skated to 'Stand By Me' by Ben E King in an emotional dedication to Kye's mum – who is currently being treated for leukaemia – and scored 36.5. In the skate-off, they danced to 'At the Hop' by Danny and the Juniors.
Meanwhile Connor Ball and Alexandra Murphy danced to 'Boys Will Cry' and scored 38. In the skate-off they attempted to rise to the top with a performance to Oasis' 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out'.
Finally, Pussycat Dolls' Kimberly Wyatt and partner Mark Hanretty took to the ice with a dynamic dance to Rihanna's 'We Found Love' and scored a perfect 40. Their skate-off dance to 'Lost Without You' by Freya Ridings proved successful as they glided to the finals.
It's all to play for next time when Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby will return for the Dancing on Ice grand finale on March 27 – the show is taking a break next week for FA Cup matches.
Dancing on Ice airs on Sundays at 6pm on ITV.
