DANCING On Ice has been thrown into chaos - after Harry Potter producers snatched the show's studios.
ITV1 bosses have lost use of the Elstree Studios in Herts where every winter a £1million rink is built for the show.
The move has sparked fears that the skating show - won this year by Emmerdale's Hayley Tamaddon and Daniel Whiston - will be put on ice.
An insider said: "This has thrown a spanner in the works.
"We need a massive space for the show. There are only so many studios that can accommodate us and most are booked.
"We've been looking at Pinewood Studios, where they film James Bond, but they are looking pretty booked out. We may need to build our own rink somewhere, which would not be cheap."
The Dancing On Ice studio also has a practice rink so the main rink isn't scratched before the show.
Bosses had expected that room would be created for them by Big Brother finishing.
The Channel 4 show has had a base at the studios for years but will be bulldozed after Ultimate Big Brother finishes.
