Who is Meg Marschall? Dancing On Ice 2018 star who left ITV show after row with ex-boyfriend Lloyd Jones
DANCING On Ice 2018 was rocked after it was revealed how American professional ice skater Meg Marschall left the ITV series.
Here's the story of who Meg is and how she and ex-boyfriend (and fellow dancer) Lloyd Jones left the show...
Who is Meg Marschall?
Meg is a 25-year-old America pro skater.
Meg is from Phoenix, Arizona but she moved to London in October 2017 temporarily ahead of her job as a pro skater on Dancing On Ice.
She began skating at a young age and has performed in numerous cruise ship shows.
Most recently she has worked for the lingerie brand Intimissimi, performing in their opera-on-ice extravaganza, that starred Andrea Bocelli.
That meant Meg lived in Verona, Italy throughout September 2017.
When she's not working, Meg is usually on holiday, taking dips in pools in idyllic locations.
She also posts a lot of racy snaps on Instagram but doesn't seem keen on lingerie herself as she often poses topless.
Is Meg single?
Meg was in a relationship with her Welsh-French fellow ice skater Lloyd Jones, 29, and they celebrated their anniversary in Paris in March this year.
He initially competed for Great Britain but then won several medals for France during 2009-2014.
They performed together in Holiday On Ice which toured Europe through 2016 and 2017.
Meg and Lloyd enjoyed a reunion in Italy this month once her stint in Intimissimi On Ice was over.
Both were set to appear on Dancing on Ice 2018 but The Sun's Bizarre column exclusively revealed how the show had been thrown into turmoil after both Lloyd and Meg left the series as a result of backstage rows.
The pair had already been assigned partners but their rows became so severe show bosses became concerned and in the end, Meg and Lloyd decided to resign.
When is Dancing On Ice coming back to TV?
Dancing On Ice 2018 launches on January 7 at 6pm on ITV with a two-hour show.
The show is said to have a "fresh look" as it rebrands after several years away from the screens.
Ice skating legend Jayne Torvill declared the show will need to up its game as reality TV has raised the bar over the past few years.
