Former Dancing On Ice contestant Libby Clegg has announced that she has split from her fiancé Dan Powell.
The Paralympian, who was a finalist on the ITV ice-skating show four years ago, had been with Dan for several years but posted a message on Instagram revealing they had called time on their relationship.
While she didn’t refer to her romance, the TV star said it had been one of her “hardest years” so far. And she also referred to herself as being a single mum.

Sharing a snap of her and her four-year-old son Edward wrapped up in coats and woolly hats, Libby wrote: “Many of you may not know this but 2023 has been one of the hardest years of my life. There’s been a lot more downs than ups and at times I’ve really felt like giving up.”

“This little boy has brought me so much joy and happiness and made me smile even when I didn’t think it was possible,” Libby continued. “Being a single Mum is toughest thing I’ve ever had to overcome.” The TV and sports star, 33, went on: “Looking forward to 2024, I’m excited for what my future will bring with a fresh start.”

Libby was inundated with support from fans and friends after she opened up, with many reminding her how “strong” she was and telling her: “You’ve got this.” “Bless you Libby, you are stronger than you think you are, no matter what you’ve got this, I believe in you,” said one fan, adding: “Keep that head held high.”
TV star Trisha Goddard, who was on Libby’s series of Dancing On Ice, was among those to chime in. “Bless you Libby, stay strong,” she wrote. “I was once a single mum and it was bloody tough, but rewarding at the same time. Sending you loads of love.”
