Third Dancing On Ice pairing revealed as reality star teams up with former finalist pro skater
THE Third Dancing On Ice pairing has been revealed as a reality star teams up with former finalist pro skater.
Fans were whipped into a frenzy when The Traitors star Mollie Pearce was confirmed to be taking part in the hit ITV skating competition.
Now she has confirmed that she will be partnering up with Colin Grafton, 33, on Dancing On Ice.
She posted two pictures of the pair posing on the rink during rehearsals on her Instagram grid page.
The former BBC One personality also gave fans a sneak peak of her progress as she posted a video where they skated in circles.
Her post captioned read: “Soooo excited to announce our partnership!
“We are thrilled and can’t wait to start our journey for @dancingonice season 17!!
Adding: “It’s an absolute pleasure to be skating with @colin_grafton All starting to feel very real now.”
Reposting the snap on her Instagram story, she tagged her partner again as she added: “Dream team,” along with several themed emojis.
Mollie, 22, rose to fame earlier this year when she was the last remaining faithful contestant on the Claudia Winkleman fronted show.
She lost out on the prize pot when Harry Clark, 23, managed to deceive her for the whole series, leaving the star and fans devastated.
Colin made a name for himself in the US when he won a bronze medal at the 2012 World Junior Championships in Minsk with partner Kylie Duart.
He first joined Dancing On Ice in 2022 for the fourteenth series of the show, which was fronted by Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.
A year later for the fifteenth instalment in 2023, he was partnered with RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winner, The Vivienne.
The duo reached third place in the grand final, behind runner-up Joey Essex and Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson.
Last year, he was paired with Coronation Street actress Claire Sweeney.
