Premier League legend shacked up with Dancing on Ice dazzler in the future after assembly her

A Premier League star is now happily married to a Dancing on Ice dazzler – and the pair had already moved in together one day after first locking eyes

A Premier League icon shacked up with a Dancing on Ice dazzler just one day after the pair first locked eyes.

Brianne Delcourt pirouetted her way into Kevin Kilbane’s life, and 24 hours after they first met, the pair were already living together. Speaking on Loose Women, Brianne admitted: “A lot of people don’t know this but it was literally the first day.

“I was actually staying with Kieron Richardson, my very first partner on Dancing on Ice 10 years ago, and we had to train that day and we started talking and Kevin was like, ”It’ll be easier if you stay with me.”

Kilbane, who turned 49 on Sunday (February 1) interjected: “When you know, you know… I feel like I’ve known Bri all my life!” Brianne continued: “I’ve been on my own for four years. I’m a single mum, I wasn’t looking for love.”

However, she would soon change her mind and the pair opened up on the moment they both realised they were going to marry, with the skater saying: “I was coming through the tunnel at the stadium.

“And it was a weird moment because I hadn’t met him and in my head, I had these little voices going, ‘I’m going to marry this guy. I’m going to marry him’.”

Loose Women host Nadia Sawalha joked with Brianne whether Kilbane’s tall and dark features were a factor behind her decision.

She said: “The fact he was tall was probably not the best for skating, but yeah…” Before Kilbane jumped in: “Bri would have been at work mode at that point!”

The pair were engaged in February 2020 and were married later that year in September with a ceremony in Haliburton, Ontario. And the pair now share two kids.
