Vanessa James Ready For Dancing On Ice
Vanessa James is set for action in the new series of Dancing on Ice on British television, which starts on Sunday [January 12].
She is returning as a professional skater for the show, now in its seventeenth year, and has been partnered with reality television star Dan Edgar.
James, who posted a photograph of her herself attending the show’s launch on social media this week, was partnered with former Olympic champion long jumper Greg Rutherford in the previous series of Dancing on Ice.
The 37-year-old is no stranger to reality TV, having starred in the previous series of the popular show and appeared on Battle of the Blades – a Canadian figure skating competition.
Although James was born in Ontario, Canada, her father is Bermudian, and she lived on the island until age ten when her family moved to Virginia in the United States.
James represented France at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 2010, Sochi, Russia, in 2014, and Pyeongchang, South Korea, in 2018. She also represented Canada at the Winter Olympics in Beijing, China, in 2022.
The retired pair skater also won the gold medal at the European Championships in Minsk, Belarus, in 2019 and claimed bronze medals at the World Championships in Milan, Italy, in 2018 and the European Championships in Ostrava, Czech Republic, in 2017.
