Viewers have spoken and they're not happy. Not only has the grand finale of Dancing on Ice been pushed back but Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway has also been given the wave next week thanks to sport.

The skating celebrities were due for their final ice-off on Sunday 20 March, but the episode will now air on Sunday 27 March due to ITV broadcasting Nottingham Forest v Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarter final at 6.00pm.

Paralympic athlete Stef Reid was the last star to be eliminated from the competition, meaning contestants Brendan Cole, Connor Ball, Regan Gascoigne, Kye Whyte and Kimberly Wyatt are left and there's a double elimination next week.

Ant and Dec's popular show and the Starstruck final have also been postponed in favour of double rugby with Ireland v Scotland from 4.45pm on March 19 and France v England at 8pm.

Fans ranted: "Can't believe we have to wait 2 weeks for Dancing On Ice final after this week."

Another complained: "I wish ITV would stop changing their schedule every two minutes. Just put the sport on all the bl***y sport channels and leave #DancingOnIce alone."

A third added: "Dancing on Ice Grand Final delayed so FA Cup Quarter Final can be aired... this is the end of civilisation as we know it!"

Another aired: "What?! Well, that's annoying..."

One angry fan suggested: "You would think by now there would be designated sports channels."

Others added: "What a boring weekend that is gonna be," and: "This sucks big time."
