The Dancing On Ice final will not air tonight due to a scheduling conflict on ITV.
There are just three celebrities - Brendan Cole, Kimberly Wyatt and Regan Gascoigne - left in the skating show, after Connor Ball and Kye White exited the programme last week during a double elimination.
The four Dancing On Ice judges - Oti Mabuse, Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean and Ashley Banjo - will be back the week after to help judge the winner of the show, as the final has been pushed back to allow for a football match to air on Sunday March 20.
Dancing On Ice's usual prime-time Sunday evening slot will now be taken by a FA Cup match.
Nottingham Forest will take on Liverpool in the sixth round of the football competition, with Dancing On Ice - hosted by Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby - postponed for a week and instead will air on Sunday March 27.
Dancing On Ice's final will see three professional dancers Brendan, Kimberly and Regan compete to be crowned the winner of the 2022 series after a hard fought battle with the other celebrities.
The show has been plagued with a number of issues this year due to Covid.
Last week, Phil was forced to host the show alone after Holly contracted the virus.
"Unfortunately, Holly Willoughby is unable to host tonight's show after testing positive for Covid-19. We look forward to Holly returning for the Dancing on Ice Live Final," a spokesperson for the show said at the time.
A few weeks prior to that, ice skater Vanessa Bauer missed a week performing with Brendan because she had the virus.
Phil also missed a week of presenting because he got Covid, with Stephen Mulhern stepping in at the time.
"I’m very much looking forward to being back hosting alongside my good friend Holly this weekend. It’s big shoes to fill and I’m wishing Phillip a speedy recovery," he said in a statement, "I’m a big fan of Dancing on Ice and for one night only I’m thrilled to be rink side watching the action unfold. It’s going to be unbelievable!"
Connor Ball also suffered a number of injuries on the ice, including slicing his leg open.
Asked about his injuries, he said: "There’s been a lot. I split my chin open, so I had five stitches in there. I dislocated my shoulder and then I ripped my leg open in three different places and had 14 stitches down there. There’s quite a lot of bruising going on."
