It's been 6 months of solid training and 12 weeks of air-time but Dancing on Ice 2012 is finally over after some amazing performances. There were several top scores of 30 and plenty of Chico antics to keep us amused, but the final trophy went to Matthew Wolfenden and Nina Ulanova.
From the very start, Wolfenden dominated the ice and on his first dance routine, scored the first perfect score of the series. There on in, he was unstoppable, even though Chico tried to sway the vote with another topless routine. Click through the gallery to find out how the night unfolded...

Matthew was magnificent in Bolero and superb in his first skate. He also choreographed for himself. Truly deserved winner - and so modest.

Congratulations to Matthew and Nina. Your Singing in the Rain routine was great, and the Bolero had so much feeling in it.
Was sorry to see Chico go, as he was a talented skater who gave us lots of fun entertainment. But the best skater won.

Wow great show all three finalists deserved to be there but Mathew and Nina deserved their win, their interpretation of Bolero was packed with moves loved it. Jorgie skated beautifully too.
25/03/2012 23:36
Fantastic show tonight, Matt deserved to win, he just had the edge over the others, and I'm afraid Chico could not sway me with his shirtless performance. Well done Matt the right person won.
25/03/2012 23:05

Well deserved. Congratulations Matthew! Jorgie was great as well, and I think Chico was the right person to go in the final! The 3 right people were in the final! Congratulations!

I have voted for Matthew from the first week he was the best from the start. Well done Matthew a well deserved winxxx
26/03/2012 08:24
What a final ! Matthew is the more proficient skater by far but For the Bolero I felt the Dance needed a more romantic and "Softer " approach so my vote on this only was for Jorgie . Who deserved to win, I really couldn't say ! What a superb final dance, I felt that for all the entertainment that Chico gave us his third place was correct, as given by the Judges . Let's not forget the entertainment they also gave us.

CHICO HAD HIS EGO DENTED.............AT LAST!! - EVEN THOUGH HE TRIED TO SWAY THE VOTE WITH HIS BARE CHEST, MUSCLES AND 'THRUSTING' CROTCH!! - YUK!

Totally deserved in my opinion: although Jorgie was arguably equally deserving to be this year's Dancing On Ice Champion: given that like Matthew, she had been exceptionally good throughout the competition.
The final showdown between the top two celebrities was essentially a cabon copy of that which transpired last season: with Matthew representing Sam, and Jorgie representing Laura.
As much as I loved Jorgie (as I loved Laura last year), I realized that Matthew probably just had the edge overall in terms of skating execution, and so I am as happy for him to win as I would have been had Jorgie won.
I guess Jorgie may have made too many young women too green with envy - being sooooooo pretty; cute; fit, and sexy - to vote for her over Matthew in the end?
Either way I think the result turned out precisely as it should be.
As for Chico getting 10s across the board for wiggling his bum, and flexing his muscles....oh come on PLEASE!!!
I'm glad voters weren't too swayed by this crass exhibitionism: not to mention silly judging, to save him: when clearly both Matthew & Jorgie were <> are better skaters > ice dancers.
All in all this was a fantastic contest: which produced the best standard of skating > ice dancing we've probably seen yet?

A worthy winner, well done Matthew you were sensational and your 'Singing in the rain' was amazing, a true champion.
26/03/2012 15:32
Congratulations to Matthew. I think he's the best male skater to win DOI so far. Well done to Jorgie and Chico too. Out of all the celebrities Chico definitely improved the most every week.
I hope Katarina is on the ice panel again as she's my favourite judge.
I'm looking forward to the one-off DOI Olympic Heroes Special, especially with lovely Colin Jackson who I think will do really well on the show.
