Cheryl Baker has been treating her ‘Dancing on Ice’ partner Dan Whiston to breakfast in bed.
The Bucks Fizz singer moved the professional skater into the home she shares with her husband Steve Stroud – with whom she has 23-year-old twin daughters Kyla and Natalie – while she’s competing on show because it gives them more time to practice their routines.
But she wants to make sure the sportsman is well watered and fed every day before training so she wakes him up with a tray of grub and then treats him to a cheese board in the evening.
Speaking on ‘This Morning’ on Friday (19.01.18), Dan said: "It’s amazing, I have breakfast in bed, I had a Chinese the other night with the family. Come 8 o’clock I have a lovely cheese board. I’m not a very good cook but I did a lovely stir fry and then a cheese board to finish.
And the 63-year-old star is thoroughly enjoying having Dan around the place.
She added: "He’s like the brother I never had."
But, although they’ve got a strong bond, the pair are struggling on the ice because Cheryl is anxious about hurting her spine after she was involved in an coach accident 34 years ago.
Cheryl – who was thrown through the windscreen of the bus while her band Bucks Fizz were on tour – explained: "I’m terrified of hurting my spine so I shove a back pad down my back. And it does soften the blow but I’m still suffering from my shoulder from that fall [on the ice during training a few weeks ago]. I’m still having physio all the time and it aches. He does all these lifts and I’m meant to put my arms above my head."
