Daniel Whiston was one of the first-ever professional skaters on the hit ITV1 show, Dancing On Ice, and won the first-ever series with his celebrity partner, actress Gaynor Faye.
In fact, Daniel has been crowned champion of Dancing On Ice three times - with Gaynor, former soap star Hayley Tamaddon and Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle. However, in 2019, Daniel swapped ice skating for the daunting task of being the show's associate creative director, which is no mean feat.
"Every day I feel pressure to raise the stakes," confesses Daniel, 47. "But that pressure for me is an adrenaline rush, I have to push the show and I have to lift everyone and make sure they are shown in their best light possible.
"I think we've broken all boundaries this year, it's been the highest standard we've ever seen. So that means myself and head coach, Karen Barber, are here constantly. It's super exciting because I can push the celebrities." As part of his job, Daniel has to come up with daring routines, choreography and not just for the celebrities, but for the professional skaters too.
