Dancing On Ice 2025 romance predicted
For this year’s Dancing On Ice series, pro Vanessa Bauer is partnered with reality star Chris Taylor.
But for 2019 star James Jordan, he’s predicting a show romance between the pair.
“Vanessa in my opinion, is probably the best pro,” he told ED! on behalf of SkyVegas.
He added: “Chris is young and he’s good looking. They’re going to be a good couple and could perhaps have a romance.”
Meanwhile, when Vanessa’s celeb Dancing on Ice partner was announced last year, fans were also quick to predict a “showmance”.
