Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean have compared ‘Dancing On Ice’ to a dating show.
The ITV show has seen a number of contestants find love with their skating partners and the Olympic legends don’t think that’s a bad thing.
Christopher, 61, told The Sun newspaper: "Romance on ice happens because you get into this bubble and it’s very close, tactile and, more than anything, there is trust that has to go into the celebrity-pro partnerships. On ‘Dancing On Ice’ we’ve had a lot of partnerships that have come together and people that have stayed together – and a lot of babies – on both the production and cast side."
Jayne, 62, added: "It’s a good thing so it’s not a curse on the Dancing On Ice side."
Newly engaged Kevin Kilbane and Brianne Delcourt met on the programme this year, while Brianne also met her ex-boyfriend Danny Young on the show.
‘Dancing On Ice’ also brought David Seaman and Frankie Poultney together and the pair wed in 2015.
In addition, Sylvain Longchambon started dating Jennifer Metcalfe during the 2012 series, before they split and he fell for his 2013 partner Samia Ghadie.
