Dancing On Ice’s Lady Leshurr, 32, reveals she always thought co-star Denise Van Outen, 46, was ‘beautiful’ and reveals she would be open to dating someone in their forties
Lady Leshurr has revealed she always thought her Dancing On Ice co-star Denise Van Outen was ‘beautiful’ and thinks she’s the ‘girl-next-door’.
The rapper, 32, who is pansexual, also told how she would be open to connecting with someone ‘in their forties’ if there was a spark between them.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: ‘I’ve watched Denise Van Outen as I was growing up and I’ve always thought she was beautiful. She’s like the girl-next-door, with the blonde hair and blue eyes.

‘I grew up in a white neighbourhood. I was around blonde-haired, blue-eyed girls and I always thought it was attractive… I’m open to everything and I’m spontaneous. That’s why I’m pansexual — because I love experimenting.
‘And if I connect with somebody and they happen to be, say, in their forties, I wouldn’t mind that. I’m only in my thirties.’
Lady Leshurr, who is partnered with skater Brendyn Hatfield, added that someone who looked like Barbie was her ‘dream girl’ when she was growing up.
Although her eyes are ‘always open’ to love, the singer admitted she is happy she’s not in a relationship right now because she wouldn’t know how to balance romance with the demands of the show.

Lady Leshurr also revealed if there was anyone she could choose to take to the ice with, it would be Cara Delevingne.
The rapper reckons the model would be an amazing dancer and said they ‘clicked’ the first time they met and have been friends ever since.
Speaking about her sexuality, Lady Leshurr explained she is attracted to auras and energies, regardless of gender.
Leshurr revealed she was previously advised against being honest about her sexuality and was told it would not help her career.

The rapper said she always flirted with girls online and decided to be open about her orientation back in 2018 when one of her exes tried to out her.
Leshurr and her partner Brendyn landed in the bottom two at the end of last week’s show and are in danger of leaving the competition on Sunday.
The star said she has already seen positive changes to her body thanks to her many hours of rehearsals and has developed a ‘skater’s bum’ thanks to her efforts.
Dancing On Ice kicked off with a bang last week as six of the twelve hopeful celebrity contestants showcased their talents on the rink.
The remaining six contestants will perform on Sunday evening’s show, before the skate off determines which couple leaves first.
