The series was once again filmed in the purpose-built studio at Bovingdon Airfield. Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby returned as hosts. Ashley Banjo, Christopher Dean, Oti Mabuse, and Jayne Torvill also returned as judges. This series decreased the number of live shows to nine weeks instead of ten, and featured one fewer celebrity contestant than usual.
For the first time in the show's history, Torvill and Dean were unable to perform the Boléro, as Torvill had ruptured her bicep in training and required surgery.
Olympic artistic gymnast Nile Wilson and were announced as the winners on 12 March 2023. Nile Wilson was also the first male skater to ever perform the dangerous manoeuvre "the headbanger," which one skater is picked up by their ankle and spun around by their partner.
