Yes. It was on a long time ago. Like ten or fifteen years. Maybe more than that.
It was fun to watch but kind of corny at the same time.

The British one, with Torvill and Dean? There are lots of videos from it on YouTube.

It actually only ended this year! It was on 2006 to 2014, and then 2018 to 2025.

The television show originated in Great Britain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_on_Ice
Here's information on the other countries that produced their own versions of the show: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_on_Ice_(franchise)
"An American adaptation, Skating with Celebrities, aired for a single season on Fox in 2006.
A similar series, Skating with the Stars [link], aired on ABC in 2010, but was produced by BBC Worldwide as a spin-off of Dancing with the Stars."

It was popular for a long time in the UK but Torvill and Dean decided to retire. Originally they were coaches on the show but then they switched to being on the judging panel. They also used to perform together but when they decided they weren’t going to skate anymore it was decided to end the show.
I'm surprised they just didn't get another Ice-Dance Team for the show. Because it's a show I surely would have been intedrested in.

It was a good show and over the years it featured some great professional skaters (who partnered the celebrities, similar to Dancing With The Stars in the US, but on ice) including several very well known to skating fans. But to be honest, in Britain there is simply no replacing Torvill and Dean!
