HOLLY Willoughby and Phil Schofield shared The Vivienne’s incredible Bolero in an unseen moment from Dancing on Ice.

The RuPaul’s Drag Race star had missed out on performing it for fans after coming third in the final of the competition last night.

The Vivienne, whose real name is James Lee Williams, and her skating partner Colin Grafton pre-recorded the iconic skate in case they made it to the final two acts.

And presenters Holly and Phil appeared glassy eyed watching them glide across the ice in the footage that aired on This Morning today.

The pair skated to French composer Maurice Ravel’s orchestral piece Bolero in matching purple costumes – in a nod to DOI judges Christopher Dean and Jane Torvill who first performed the skate at the 1984 Winter Olympics and won gold medals.

Viewers reacted on Twitter, one fan said: “So lovely to see The Vivienne and Colin Grafton do the Bolero as seen on today’s #ThisMorning I thought it was fabulous it’s a 20 from me! :)”

A second shared: “DancingOnIce oh just seen The Vivienne’s amazing #bolero @thismorning She should have won”

And a third said: “Just saw your Bolero on @thismorning I might have something in my eye… it was beautiful and really show-cased and celebrated your wonderful partnership with Colin.”

Last night, Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson lifted the DOI trophy with his professional skating partner Olivia Smart.

Nile and Olivia won the show after beating reality star Joey Essex, who came second, and drag queen The Vivienne, who finished in third place.

It led some to criticise his ability to be fairly compared to the other finalists, Joey and The Vivienne.

One commented: “Nile is amazing but has a big advantage.”

“Is this a gymnast show or what?”, another asked.

Someone else said: “Okay but is that not an unfair advantage though because he does all those stunts for a living anyway?”

Appearing on This Morning with hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield this morning, Nile admitted he agreed about having an advantage.

“I get asked this a lot,” he said.

“Is being a gymnast an advantage? Of course it is.

“The fundamental body awareness that gymnastics gives you, I saw a trick.”

“He could soak it up,” Olivia admitted.

They came third on Dancing On Ice
