Ryan Thomas's surprise message from sports icon ahead of Dancing on Ice final

He wrote:  "Thank you to everyone that votes, sends messages.

"I read & think how lucky I am to be liked by people I’ve never even met before, there’s a lot to be said for just people being kind, it really makes a difference.

Scarlett's mum is Corrie star Tina O'Brien while Ryan shares young children Roman and Lilah with Lucy.

Things weren't all plain-sailing, though, as Stephen Mulhern made a huge blunder when he announced the 'wrong name'.

The veteran presenter was given the important job of closing off the show with the the crowned winner.

In the file it all came down to soap star Ryan and Made In Chelsea personality Miles Nazaire.

When it came to formerly announcing the winner for the last time on the show, Stephen had accidentally announced the wrong name of the professional skater.

Vanessa Bauer's name was called out alongside Ryan, when it should have been Amani's.
