Dancing On Ice fans are voicing their frustration over the casting of Vanessa Bauer’s 2025 partner, Chris Taylor, with some hinting at a potential romance brewing. In an announcement that has stirred mixed reactions, the Love Island star revealed his excitement to be paired with the talented skater. The new lineup for Dancing On Ice 2025 has recently been confirmed, with notable contestants such as Michaela Strachan, Charlie Brooks, and Sam Aston ready to hit the ice.

Chris Taylor, 34, shared his enthusiasm on social media, stating, “I’m absolutely DELIGHTED to announce that I’ll be skating with Vanessa on Dancing On Ice 2025.” He also teased about their training progress, taking some responsibility for their synchrony.
