Dancing on Ice star Dan Edgar has spoken out ahead of a potential meeting with ex-girlfriend Kate Ferdinand, on the set of the ITV skating show.
The 34-year-old reality star was in a relationship with Kate, 33, when they both starred on The Only Way Is Essex before their break-up amid rumours that he cheated on Kate, who has gone on to marry former footballer Rio Ferdinand.
When they appeared on TOWIE, Dan was accused of cheating on Kate when he kissed fellow star Chloe Lewis, but he insisted at the time that he had already separated from Kate. Now, they might meet again as Kate is expected to be in the studio to cheer on her brother-in-law, Anton Ferdinand, who will be taking to the ice.
Despite saying that their break up wasn’t “overly bad”, Dan admits that he has not spoken to Kate since. Speaking to The Sun ahead of his appearance on Dancing On Ice, Dan said: “I’ve made some stupid mistakes in the past but we weren’t together at the time I kissed Chloe. I wasn’t emotionally mature enough back then to deal with a relationship of that longevity. It was young love.”
Despite being together, on and off, for two years, Dan described it as if being “married 30 years” and that they were “annoying each other” when together. Nowadays, he admits their lives have taken different paths and have gone in “completely different directions”.
Dan has said their relationship was “part of the journey” in his life, along with his other previous relationships. He said that Kate sent “a really lovely message” to his mum after he appeared on the ITV show.
Dan is now in a relationship with TOWIE’s Ella Rae Wise and has said there is “real chemistry” but admits they are “seeing how things go”. This follows him saying that he is “cautious” when in relationships which has lead to it being levelled at him having “commitment issues”.
When talking to The Sun about his relationship with Ella, Dan stated: “We [were] away together [and] we are two of the only single people on the show. It has just naturally happened out here. It is early… it isn’t anything deep.” He further added that there were previous issues but that they’ve since made up and are now friends again.
