Dancing on Ice is making TV history!
October 09, 2019 - 10:52 BST Sharnaz Shahid Dancing on Ice is set to make TV history next year by including the show's first ever same-sex dance couple in the competition. The news comes as a welcome surprise, beating rival dance series Strictly Come Dancing in making the move first. Steps singer, Ian "H" Watkins, will be teamed up with professional skater Matt Evers in the next series of the ITV show early next year.
The BBC said it was "completely open" to having them, "should the opportunity arise". The comment comes after pressure from some of Strictly's stars, who were praised by viewers for breaking down gender barriers by performing their first-ever same-sex performance last year.Judge Craig Revel Horwood addressed the issue back in 2017, agreeing he would whole-heartedly champion the idea.
