Who has Alexandra been partnered with on Dancing On Ice?

Alexandra first joined Dancing On Ice in 2010 where she was paired with Good Morning Britain‘s Dr Hilary Jones.

The pair lasted until week six until they were eliminated from the competition.

Alex also managed to win the show in 2020 with her partner Joe Swash – but the series wasn’t without accident or injury.

Alex had to pull out of the show – briefly – after being injured in a “freak fall”.

She posted on social media: “I’m absolutely heartbroken to have to announce that I’m not able to perform with @realjoeswashy this Sunday due to an injury that I endured after a freak fall.”

However, she came back stronger and ended up lifting the trophy with Joe.

This was her second victory in a row after she won with Strictly Come Dancing star James Jordan in 2019.

Alex was injured in that run too, when James dropped her.

The skater was seen by a medic and eventually given the all clear to skate.

Who is Alex partnered up with this series?

This year, Alexandra is coupled with The Vamps’ bass guitarist Connor Ball.

The pair have been posting their progress on the ice to Instagram and it looks like they’re getting on really well.
