Who left Dancing on Ice 2022?

Ben Foden

Rugby champ Ben Foden was the first contestant to leave Dancing on Ice, after facing Hebden in the dreaded skate-off.

For his performance, Foden and his professional skating partner, Robin Johnstone, danced to Livin’ la Vida Loca by Ricky Martin. With just 23 points they finished at the bottom of the score board.

Ahead of his debut, Foden revealed he decided to sign up for the ITV skating show after seeing former contestant Wes Nelson take part.

“I spoke to a few guys before I accepted doing the show, I spoke to Max Evans, and Wes Nelson. Wes was the one who really made me do the show because he said it was an unbelievable experience and he absolutely loved it. He couldn’t recommend doing it higher. So he was one of the reasons why I said yes in the end,” he said.

Dancing on Ice airs on ITV on Sundays.  Looking for something to watch in the meantime? Check out our TV Guide or visit our dedicated Entertainment hub.
