Inside Dancing On Ice star H’s house with tropical theme wallpaper, huge leather sofas and funky art

IAN H Watkins became a household name in the 90s as part of Steps - and he's revealed his taste in interior design is just as bubblegum pop.

The 43-year-old Dancing on Ice star - who will make his debut with Matt Evers as the show's first ever same-sex couple on Sundcay - shares his house in Wales with his partner Craig Ryder and their twin boys, who were born in March 2016

But it seems it's Ian's extravagant personality that has influenced their interiors.

In the living room, Ian reclines on a brown leather corner sofa adorned with cushions in bright and clashing patterns.

A vintage trunk serves as a coffee table while a green jungle-style mural is the focus of the room.

A gold palm tree lamp nods to mid-century style and contrasts with the modern clear plastic dining chairs.

The other side of the living room has a cosy fire place and there are patio doors that lead out onto a generous patio.

Another reception room looks out onto the outdoor dining area.

This cosy snug has a gold velvet sofa with gold furniture and a vintage lion toy on wheels.

Another room has dark floral wallpaper - perfect for taking selfies in front of.

Ian came out publicly as gay in an interview with The Sun back in 2007.

During his early years with Steps, he was involved in a relationship with the group's manager, Tim Byrne.

Ian has been in a relationship with his partner Craig Ryder since 2007.
On March 6 2016, they welcomed twin sons, Macsen and Cybi Ryder-Watkins, via a surrogate.
