Phillip Schofield thinks it's the "best time" for 'Dancing on Ice' to end.
The 51-year-old presenter - who fronts the ITV show with Christine Bleakley - is sad to see the skating competition end after nine years this weekend, but is glad to end on a high.
He told new! magazine: "I'm enormously proud of the programme - it's a beautifully made show - but it's the best time to go, while it's still on top. I've really enjoyed presenting it so much."
Phillip says the standard of competition on the final all-stars series of 'Dancing on Ice' is higher than ever and he can't quite predict who will win on Sunday (09.03.14).
He explained: "They're all brilliant but Ray Quinn is getting better and better. Hayley Tamaddon has been great and Beth Tweddle is a very talented skater. They are all turning in great routines. But let's not forget, it's a public vote."
The silver-haired fox also shared his favourite moment from 'Dancing on Ice', admitting he couldn't contain his laughter when former 'EastEnders' actor Todd Carty faced some technical difficulty in 2009.
He recalled: "One of the funniest times was when Todd Carty disappeared out of the rink. We all loved that. And the quality of skating in this final series has been extraordinary."

Sue Perkins initially turned down 'The Great British Bake Off'.
The 44-year-old TV presenter - who fronts the BBC Two baking competition with Mel Giedroyc - has admitted she passed on the chance to host the show at first because she didn't think it would last.
She said: "They said, "Would you do it?' and I said, 'No, it's about cakes, don't be silly.' "
However, Sue is now thankful she changed her mind as 'Bake Off' has enjoyed momentous success over the past four years and will soon move to BBC One.
She added: "I can't tell you how joyous it is. I'm the luckiest person alive."
The comedienne's role in the show has led to worldwide attention and she is recognised where she least expects it.
Appearing on 'The Jonathan Ross Show' - which airs on ITV tomorrow (08.03.14) - Sue said: "I was in Angkor Wat, the massive temple in Cambodia, doing a really pretentious piece to camera - that thank god will never make the edit - and a load of guys went, 'Bake.' "
Sue and Mel have become good friends with judge Mary Berry, 78, and recently introduced the sophisticated TV chef to tabloid talk show 'The Jeremy Kyle Show', which features scandalous revelations and family feuds.
She revealed: "Mary loves Jeremy Kyle. We've got her into Jeremy Kyle. She says, 'This is extraordinary. Absolutely marvellous.' Then after a while you go, 'It is real.' [Mary says] 'Is it really?' "

Dermot O'Leary is incredibly excited to be working with an astrophysicist for Channel 4's 'Live from Space' season.
'The X Factor' host will take viewers on an incredible journey around the world in 90 minutes, and while the series may be a dramatic change from his most famous role, Dermot says accepting the opportunity seemed like a no-brainer.
He told BANG Showbiz: "When I took the gig, a mate of mine was like, 'I didn't know you were curious about space?' And my take on it was, I don't know anyone who isn't curious about space? It just seems such a natural thing to do."
When Dermot was given the opportunity to watch the International Space Station pass over St Paul's Cathedral in London he found it almost impossible to comprehend the speed at which it was travelling.
He explained: "I just thought I wonder where it is now, and I thought in my head it'd be like Ipswich or the Netherlands and it was over the Bay of Bengal or somewhere like that. I mean it's extraordinary, it goes so many times faster than the speed of a bullet."
Channel 4's 'Live from Space' season kicks off next Wednesday (12.03.14) with two fascinating hour-long documentaries, 'Astronauts: Living in Space' and 'Astronauts: Houston We Have a Problem'. These shows aim to reveal life as it is for the people living and working on the International Space Station, the challenges they face and the day-to-day experiences they have.
The series of programmes will conclude on Sunday 16 March with 'Live from Space: Lap of the Planet', a major interactive television event centred around a live two-and-a-half hour broadcast from the ISS and Mission Control in Houston as the ISS completes an entire orbit of the earth.

Union J's Josh Cuthbert would have tried out for 'The Voice' if he hadn't made it on 'The X Factor'.
The 21-year-old heartthrob first auditioned for the ITV talent show on his own in 2007 and later with Union J - which also includes Jaymi Hensley, George Shelley and JJ Hamblett - in 2012, but Josh claims he would've gone to rival singing competition 'The Voice' if he was turned away by the 'X Factor' judges.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz prior to Union J's live set at M&M's World in London's Leicester Square yesterday (06.03.14), he said: "I would have just kept trying and would've done it through any avenue possible. So yeah, I probably would have gone on 'The Voice' or something like that, but I'm glad we managed to make it through 'X Factor'."
The 'Carry You' hitmakers performed a number of tracks from their self-titled debut - including 'Beautiful Life' and 'Loving You Is Easy' - for an exclusive crowd to celebrate the launch of the store's new personalised printer service, and Josh admitted that he thinks they all get equal attention from their female fans.
He said: "I think because we're all quite different ... there's not one of us that gets more attention than the others, because we all appeal to different people."

Peter Capaldi's first 'Doctor Who' episode is "thrilling".
Writer Mark Gattis has described the Twelfth Doctor as an exciting change from previous incarnations played by David Tennant and Matt Smith and thinks fans will be pleased with Peter's debut episode which was written by show boss Steven Moffat.
He said: "Peter has a very different energy to Matt Smith and to David Tennant. He's older which changes everything ... it's amazing what a change does!
"Matt was sublime and I was very sorry to see him go, but it's also great to have a change, as it has always been with the Doctor."
Mark looks forward to seeing how Peter's Time Lord tackles situations and reacts differently to the previous Doctors.
He added to Digital Spy: "The Doctor's always the Doctor - but you can have a lot of fun playing with people's expectations. Everyone knows how the previous Doctor would react in any given situation and now you just don't know!"
The eighth series of 'Doctor Who' is currently being filmed in Cardiff, Wales, with Peter being joined by Jenna-Louise Coleman, reprising her role as Clara Oswald.
It was recently revealed that former 'Emmerdale' actor Samuel Anderson is also joining the sci-fi drama as a recurring companion, Danny Pink.

'Birds of a Feather' has been commissioned for a second series on ITV.
The revived sitcom starring Pauline Quirke, Linda Robson and Lesley Joseph will return for a brand new series following the success of the first, which aired 15 years after the original show ended on BBC One.
'Birds' has been delighting fans new and old, with an average of eight million viewers tuning in each week.
The second series will be written once again by original 'Birds of a Feather' writers Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran.
Maurice said: "We're delighted 'Birds of a Feather' was such a success on ITV and really pleased to be asked to write another series. We hope the further adventures of Sharon, Tracey and Dorien will continue to thrill audiences young and old."
ITV's director of comedy and entertainment Elaine Bedell added: "We're very pleased that the brilliant chemistry between these three great actresses once again attracted the large and loyal audience that 'Birds of a Feather' deserves. The writers and producers have done a fantastic job in making the show feel funny, fresh and relevant. "
In addition to the original trio, the new series has also seen singer Matt Willis and Pauline's son Charlie Quirke join the cast.

The 'Dancing On Ice' stars are to perform death-defying stunts in the show's final this weekend.
The celebrity finalists, Hayley Tamaddon, Ray Quinn and Beth Tweddle, are determined to pull out all of the stops in order to be crowned the champion of champions in the last ever series.
'Coronation Street' actress Hayley is planning to jump over three men, spin in the air, and land on one foot in one of her three routines.
She told The Sun newspaper: "I go over three lads, it's like I'm flying without the wires.
"They throw me and I rotate in the air and land on one foot on the other side of them."
Ray, who won the show back in 2009, has added a daring backflip and a number of props to his routine, while Beth, who was crowned the winner last year, will "get thrown about right, left and centre".
The three contestants have been working so hard that they are "ready to drop" and are "covered in bruises" from their thrilling performances in last week's semi-final, which saw actor Sam Attwater eliminated from the show.
Hayley said: "I've torn my bicep. The pull on my shoulders in last week's routine was immense. I'm in agony."
The final episode of 'Dancing on Ice' airs Sunday 9 March at 7pm on ITV.

'Sherlock' may not return to screens until 2016.
Mark Gatiss, who is the scriptwriter for the show, has announced there will be another episode of the crime drama but it may not be for another two years, as they need to fit it around Benedict Cumberbatch - who plays Sherlock Holmes - and Martin Freeman's (Doctor John Watson) busy film schedules.
He told the Metro newspaper: "Everyone wants to carry on doing 'Sherlock'. It's a simple matter of schedules - particularly Benedict and Martin.
"They've become superstars, which is brilliant, but we all want to carry on as long as we can.
"There was suddenly a kind of outraged response that it might not be back until 2016 but that's precisely how long it always is. It's always two years! But we'd like to return soon, of course."
The 47-year-old star went on to admit Benedict, 37 - who was voted the world's sexiest movie star - has become the first attractive Sherlock Holmes.
He explained: "Sometimes the right man and the right part comes along and they fuse.
"I think there is something about Sherlock Holmes, which has possibly always been the case - there's a kind of unapproachability about him. He's not interested in sex... apparently. So you immediately get that Mr. Darcy thing going on.
"He can't be tamed. It's attractive. Those are the people we are attracted to - the ones that aren't interested.
"I think it's that and the combination of the Byronic looks that Benedict has - and the coat - that's made him into, possibly, the first sexy Sherlock Holmes."

Simon Cowell is bracing himself for a backlash from his 'X Factor' colleagues over the 'I Can't Sing' musical.
The 54-year-old music mogul is preparing himself for the reactions of his past and present colleagues over the way they're portrayed in the stage show, which is based on the ITV talent competition.
Character Jordy - who is based on Cheryl Cole - is seen kissing a statue of the singer's ex-husband and Chelsea footballer Ashley Cole and is warned to "steer clear of professional footballers".
Meanwhile, 'X Factor' host Dermot O'Leary - depicted as the needy Liam O'Deary, who's desperate to come across as cool and credible - has admitted that he won't be going to see the West End show.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I'm not going to see it. What's the point? It might look a bit odd if I was there. I'm sure it's good fun."
Simon himself is also ridiculed in the play - which was written by Harry Hill - as he's played by former 'EastEnders' star Nigel Harman, who sings: "When I was a young boy at school, the others would treat me so cruel. The bully would hide in a hedge, he would jump out and give me a wedgie."
The man behind the 'X Factor' claims he had no input in the script despite financially backing the project on which he's listed as a co-producer.
He said previously: "The deal I made with Harry was, 'I'm not going to change a word.' "
