'I'm single and having fun skating': Samia Ghadie insists she isn't romancing Dancing On Ice partner Sylvain Longchambon

Coronation Street star Samia Ghadie has denied reports she is dating her Dancing On Ice partner Sylvain Longchambon.
The actress, who split from boyfriend Will Thorp last month, insisted her relationship with the French professional skater was strictly platonic.
Samia, 30, and Sylvain, 32, were linked over the weekend after it emerged both had split from their respective partners.

The brunette soap star told The Sun: 'I'm single and I’m just having fun skating.
'It's such a dangerous sport anyway that I can't afford to be focusing on anything other than just being a good ice skater and good mum.'
Until this week, mother-of-one Samia hadn't seen Sylvain for three weeks as he had been in France with his family for Christmas.
However, Samia admitted she had 'missed' her 'brilliant' skating partner, adding: 'I can see how you’d end up in a relationship with your partner.'

Returning judge Jason Gardiner told the Mirror: 'This show is notorious for that sort of thing. I can’t keep up with all the shenanigans.
'I think inevitably when you are training day in day out you’re very vulnerable with your professional partner, and that person really props you up.
'From my point of view I don’t care if she shags everybody it's how she is on the ice every week that matters - I don’t care what they do off the rink.'
On Sunday, it had been reported that Sylvain had dumped his Hollyoaks star girlfriend Jennifer Metcalfe by phone following two years together.
A tabloid claimed Sylvain confessed to Jennifer he had 'developed feelings' for Samia.
