Ria Hebden has been eliminated from Dancing on Ice in movies week, with professional partner Lukasz Rozycki.

The TV presenter landed in the dreaded skate-off against Rachel Stevens and Brendyn Hatfield following a tough week.

However, judges Ashley Banjo, Oti Mabuse, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean unanimously opted to send her home after the tense scenes.

‘We’ve had so much fun, it’s been an incredible journey,’ she said of her time on the ice.

‘I’m going to continue skating, I’m going to teach Lula, we’re going to do it, it’s gonna our thing.’

Addressing her partner, she continued: ‘Thank you for the opportunity, you’ve been an amazing friend, and I know also a friend for life.

‘We’ve absolutely loved it, haven’t we? Just everybody, thank you, from behind the scenes, all the coaches, cameras, everybody, hair and makeup, it’s just extraordinary, this show.

‘I hope it has brightened up everyone’s Sunday evenings, because we’ve had the time of our lives.’

Ria and Lukasz performed Into The Unknown from Frozen II but failed to impress the panel.

Christopher suggested that their routine needed to be ‘more challenging’ in future, with the pair scoring 26 points.

Dancing On Ice continues on Sunday at 6pm on ITV.
