DANCING On Ice’s Nile Wilson has proved he's got what it takes to win the show as he tears ahead of the pack with a daredevil move.
The gymnast has become a fan-favourite on the ITV skating competition.
And Nile, 27, is closing in on a dangerous and daring move on that will see him move a skate closer to the final.
Dan Whiston, the show's creative director, told The Sun the gymnast is set to surprise fans with more show-stopping action soon.
He said: "Nile’s street dance routine was jam-packed with difficult moves you rarely see this early in the competition.
"I’m convinced within a few weeks he’ll be doing an axel."

Meanwhile Nile's bravery at bouncing back from a painful fall has endeared him even more to viewers.
Nile opened Movie Week with a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang-themed performance alongside his professional skating partner Olivia Smart.
Sharing a clip of himself in training, Nile was seen spinning around on the ice, until he took a tumble and landed on his bottom.
He took it in good humour and laughed off the slippery fall, despite appearing to be in some agony.
