Put the kettle on! Dancing on Ice could be set for a comeback
Three whole years after Dancing on Ice was axed, ITV is reportedly considering revamping the classic celebrity dancing show.
The channel wants to bring back the ice skating series for 2017, according to The Sun.
The show was once the third-highest rated on the channel, and ITV boss Kevin Lygo reportedly wants it back.
Bringing Dancing On Ice back would be the best thing itv has ever done!

“Kevin always thought ITV axing Dancing on Ice was a mistake so now the idea of bringing it back is being looked at," a source told The Sun.
“It was a smash hit, and even at its worst was still pulling in more than some of the shows currently on telly – particularly in the Sunday night slot."
“It’s very early days and nothing has been commissioned just yet but it’s definitely on the to-do list."
Amazing if @dancingonice returned on @ITV. Used to love watching this and Wild at Heart on a Sunday night!

“A Sunday night slot would make a lot of sense,” continued the source.
The show first hit our screens in 2006 and was presented by dream duo Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.
The show wrapped up in 2015 after a dip in ratings, but looking at the Twitter reactions to the news, fans would welcome the show back with open arms.
"Dancing on Ice is coming back…. buzzed for this so much and it's my mums favourite," said one.
"If the rumours are true about #DancingOnIce returning, I will be the happiest person ever," said another.
