The five semi-finalists entered the rink for the Solo Skate Battle, performing as a group to Guns N' Roses' take on Live and Let Die, with each famous skater being judged on their solo section.
Nile Wilson unsurprisingly received five points in the group performance – however, The Vivienne unfortunately landed in last place with one point after taking a tumble during her solo. Nile was followed by Joey Essex, who scored four points, while Siva Kaneswaran picked up three and Mollie Gallagher picked up two.
As for the individual performance, Nile topped the leaderboard with a routine to Shawn Mendes's In My Blood after opening up about leaving his gymnastics career, picking up full marks from the judges. Meanwhile, Mollie landed at the bottom of the leaderboard with her performance to Evanescence's My Immortal, speaking about her Coronation Street hate crime storyline that ended with the death of Seb Franklin, her character Nina's boyfriend.
While all the celebrities scored over 36 points, it was Mollie, Siva and Joey Essex who landed in the skate-off following the public vote, despite the fact that Joey received 42 points for his routine to Lighthouse Family hit High.
After performing their Save Me skates, it was Mollie and Siva who were sent home, with the judges unanimously choosing to save Joey.
This means that Joey, Nile and The Vivienne are heading into next weekend's final and could be crowned the 2023 Dancing on Ice champion.
