You've heard of the 'Strictly Curse', but Strictly Come Dancing isn't the only TV show to create brand new couples! Popular ITV show Dancing On Ice has also introduced a number of celebrities to each other, with 2020 contestant Kevin Kilbane proposing to his pro partner Brianne Delcourt after just three months of meeting.

Now the 2024 series is over, we've decided to take a trip down memory lane to see which other couples fell in love after meeting on Dancing On Ice.
