Dancing On Ice’s Sonny Jay says he hopes to gain a six pack through gruelling training

He is currently wowing viewers with his skating skills opposite Angela Egan.

And Dancing On Ice star Sonny Jay has revealed that his main motivation on the show is working towards gaining a six pack to impress his fiancée Lauren Page.

The Capital Breakfast presenter, 27, said that all of the gruelling training with Angela seems to have paid off so far, and has helped him stay fit and healthy.

He told The Mirror: ‘One of the first things she said when I agreed to do the show was, ”Oh, you might get a six pack”.

‘In lockdowns, I put on weight. Now I’m putting it on in muscle. The top half is feeling good. It’s a nice feeling. I’m more confident.’

Sonny rose to fame on Britain’s Got Talent in 2012, as a member of the group Loveable Rogues.

The band came fourth on the series, and were later signed to Simon Cowell’s Syco record label before being dropped.

Asked whether the music mogul had been in touch since then, Sonny replied: ‘I haven’t heard from him since. But there’s no hard feelings.’

Sonny’s journey on Dancing On Ice has been plain sailing so far, with him and Angela just one of seven couples left in the competition.

Last week saw the pair catch the judges eye as they became the first couple to do overhead lifts.

Christopher Dean was particularly impressed, telling him that he noticed how ‘silent on the ice’ he was at the beginning of the routine which means he’s ‘got the blade just right’. 

This year’s series of the skating show has already seen four couples withdraw – Emmerdale star Joe-Warren Plant and comedian Rufus Hound were both forced to leave after they tested positive for coronavirus.

Meanwhile, West End star Denise Van Outen and former TOWIE star Billie Faiers both withdrew after sustaining injuries.
