Vanessa James Dances In TV Show Semi-Final
Vanessa James competed in the semi-finals of Dancing on Ice on British television last weekend.
A professional skater on the show, James and her dancing partner Dan Edgar, a reality TV star, missed out on reaching the final of the competition.
James 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 also 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.
