They shared an emotional hug afterwards and their backing skaters also joined them in a group hug.
The devastated Made In Chelsea star could then be seen whispering "I'm so sorry" to Vanessa as they skated back towards the judges at the end of the performance.
Dancing On Ice Stephen Mulhern told the pair: "I am gutted that you fell Miles.
"But to give you credit you got straight back on, you keep apologising!"
"I let her down, that was a stupid miskate," Miles replied.
He added to Vanessa again: "I'm so so sorry."
Consoling him, Vanessa said: "The whole series you've been amazing every single week and you are a star."
Head judge Christopher Dean told Miles he had skated the routine 20 times without slipping.

Judge Oti Mabuse added: "I'm so heartbroken, I'm so so heartbroken.
"That was absolutely brilliant before the fall, do not be disheartened by this, you are brilliant, you have been brilliant throughout the series, I'm sure you'll be fine."
Miles was awarded a score of 38 out of 40 points, with each judge dishing out a 9.5.

He might have taken a stumble, but fans were still rooting for Miles and Vanessa.
One shared on X, formerly Twitter: "Such a shame that Miles slipped - that was such a beautiful routine and so very well performed. It’s just so frustrating that not all mistakes are so meticulously judged…."
Miles faced Adele Roberts and Ryan Thomas for the 2024 title and Adele placed third in the live final.
After performing the Bolero in front of Torvil and Dean, Miles and Vanessa battled it out with Ryan and his partner Amani Fancy for the tropy.
The show was earlier thrown into chaos after Greg Rutherford's accident in rehearsals on Sunday ruled him out of the final.
