Dancing On Ice curse hits new star as she SPLITS from boyfriend after signing up for 2025 series
DANCING On Ice star Mollie Pearce has revealed she has split from her boyfriend after signing up for the 2025 series.
The disability model, who found fame on BBC show The Traitors, called time on her romance with Max Backwell after three years.
She told the Mail: “After a number of happy years together Max and I have decided to part ways.
“It was amicable and we’re both still friends.”
Sources told how Max plans to back Mollie all the way on Dancing On Ice.
They said: “Mollie and Max loved their time together but they’re both young and the relationship they shared reached a natural end.
“They both support each other in everything they do and Max is really excited to watch Mollie on Dancing On Ice given he knows how much the opportunity means to her.”
Primetime dance shows often spell disaster for showbiz couples.
Over recent years, Dancing on Ice has seen a flood of blossoming romances – often to the detriment of contestants already in relationships.
The last series saw Made In Chelsea star Miles Nazaire split from his girlfriend Amelie Esquenet.
Donna Air and James Middleton hit the rocks and parted ways during her time on the show.
David Seaman and pro skater Frankie Poultney famously quit their resepective marriages when they were paired on the show and later walked down the aisle.
Mollie crashed out of the hit BBC mystery game The Traitors red-faced after putting her faith in treacherous winner Harry Clark, who swiped the £95k prize pot from under her nose.
She won hearts when she told on Claudia Winkleman’s murder mystery how she was born with one hand.
In her late teens she began working as a disability model.
Mollie also lives with a stoma after surgery to remove her colon at the age of 18 following a decade with ulcerative colitis.
The Sun revealed Mollie had signed up to Dancing On Ice alongside Towie star Ferne McCann, EastEnders legend Charlie Brookes and Coronation Street star Sam Aston.
