DANCING On Ice 2023 has only aired one episode and fans are already convinced they know who's going to lift the trophy.

The ice-skating competition launched on Sunday night with the first half of the celebrity contestants taking to the rink to try and earn the viewers' votes.

But while Love Island champion Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu fell into the upcoming skate-off with professional partner Brendyn Hatfield, Team GB star Nile Wilson is being deemed a certainty for the win.

The Olympic bronze-winning gymnast went straight to the top spot with 29.5 out of a possible 40 with his first performance to Harry Styles track, Sign Of The Times.

During the performance, he impressed with tricky jumps and lifts, leaving fans stunned with his skills after just a few months of training.

As a result, he's already being declared a winner in the eyes of the public.

"WHAT A FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE FROM NILE WILSON ON DANCING ON ICE HE'S MY FAVOURITE & MY WINNER," one fan wrote.

"Wow @ Nile's performance. Potential winner!" said another, while a third simply wrote: "There's your winner. Nile"

"Ok, Nile is officially my winner. Right now," said a fourth, while a fifth said: "Wow, there's ya winner, great song too, well done Nile."

Naturally, his impressive performance secured his safety for another two weeks, with the second half of the line-up making their debut on the ice next Sunday.
