RYAN Thomas's professional partner has revealed she's partnered up with the former Coronation Street star.
Amani Fancy says she had been manifesting the match before being told by bosses who she will be teaching.
Announcing the news, Amani said: "I’ve honestly been hoping for this pairing since the Dancing On Ice line up came out after watching an interview Ryan was on, to the point where I’ve nagged production to tell me if it was him countless times but had no luck until today.
"Everything I thought Ryan may be, is true. The most genuinely empathetic, enthusiastic, cheeky, funny and ambitious man (all the things that make for a great skating partner) with such a huge heart, especially for his beautiful family! We’ve got an identical sense of humour (we spent most of the time cracking up and laughing at each other), the exact same habits, and an incredibly similar work ethic… I think I’ve met me in male form!
"Ryan, the journey and the work begins now. It’s going to be intense, frustrating, beautiful and rewarding all at the same time, but I promise to try and make this the best experience for you. I’m so proud to be your partner and cannot wait to see you thrive and become the skater I know you can be. Who knows, maybe we won’t be able to tell who the professional is by the end of the competition.
"Everyone, get ready. Team Thomas bringing the suave with a touch of Fancy."
