Dancing On Ice’s Nile Wilson has been named the 'clear winner' by viewers as he made history with the infamous ‘headbanger’ move.
The ITV hit skating show has finally come to an end as the Olympic gymnast goes head to head with reality star Joey Essex drag queen The Vivienne in hopes of winning the glitter trophy.
Nile was the first star to take to the ice tonight as he performed to Pirates of the Caribbean with dance partner Olivia.

Speaking ahead of his routine in a pre-recorded clip Nile said: “There's going to be eight other professionals on the ice and it's very very intimidating. I need to blend in with them and not stand out.
The Leeds born star made history by performing a move so dangerous it's been banned by the International Skating Union (ISU), which governs competitive skating.
He admitted: “A hell of a lot can go wrong in this routine, it's the biggest challenge I have ever attempted on this show!'
Nile wanted to impress not only the judges but viewers at home so he added the ‘headbanger’ move to his routine but it seemed to pay off as he received a perfect score of 10 from all the judges and Twitter was flooded with reaction after his “incredible” performance.
And Holly Willoughby even told him after the dance, where he swung onto the ice on a rope: "‘I wanna do that".
@Moyellie commented: “Wow Nile that's the way to start a show, first time any male has done the head banger #dancingonice.”
@alig1972 said: “Nile was my winner from the start and he knocked it out the park tonight, great performance #DancingOnIce.”
@RyanTheSoapking wrote: “A male Headbanger the first time in #DancingOnIce history and it was amazing!!!!! Well done Nile. You're amazing!!!! He really is my winner!! What an incredible talent you are.”
While @SeanieQuigley27 added: “Wow well done Nile and Olivia that was such an incredible routine and an incredible way to kick off the final as well and a huge well done to Brendyn for the amazing headbanger it’s deffo a perfect 10 from me! #DancingOnIce.”
