The Bucks Fizz singer has asked the professional skater to move into the home she shares with her husband Steve Stroud - with whom she has 23-year-old twin daughters Kyla and Natalie - while she's competing on 'Dancing on Ice' because it gives them more time to practice their routines away from the ice.

Speaking to OK! magazine, the 63-year-old star said: "Dan moved in last week.

"It gives us more time to practise off the ice. I absolutely adore him. He is kind and understands about my fear."

Dan added: "I moved in and there are times we'll be dancing around the kitchen. If anybody walked by and looked in they'd be thinking it's a mad house."

Cheryl took to the ice last night (14.01.18) and admitted she was struggling with her nerves because she slipped over during her first day of training and hurt her coccyx.

She explained: "It's a lot more difficult than I expected. I love dancing but I've never skated. I thought: 'It can't be that hard.' But on day one I fell over heavily and hurt my coccyx and it absolutely terrified me. I damaged my spine in the coach accent - I broke three vertebrae that were attached to my spine - and it took a long time to get better...

"I'd been learning basic steps and thought: 'I can do this!' But the fall made me realise how hard ice is and how much it hurts. That changed something in me and I became afraid. I fell over a few days later and hurt my shoulder and wrist."

But Cheryl is hoping her performance last night will help boost her confidence.
