Who is Vanessa Bauer? Dancing on Ice 2018 WINNER and professional skater returning in 2019

Here's the lowdown on the beautiful and talented skater who was crowned the winner of the rebooted Dancing on Ice in 2018 and will now be returning in 2019…

Who is Vanessa Bauer?

Vanessa Putri Bauer is a 22-year-old German dancer, acrobat and ice skater.

She has worked performing on an ice rink on board one of the biggest luxury cruise ships in the world, HMS Harmony Of The Seas.

As a result, she declares "life is a holiday" – and for her, it literally is.

But maintaining a body that's strong and agile enough to dance on the ice is no cake walk.

She regularly posts pictures of her workouts on Instagram and has an incredibly muscular figure.

Vanessa insists she doesn't need supplements to make herself strong, just hard work and healthy food.

In July 2017 Vanessa left her job on the cruise ship and moved to north London.

She has been practising her skating skills at Planet Ice in Hemel Hempstead.

Vanessa was paired with Jake Quickenden for the 2018 series of the show and the duo went on to be crowned the winners.

Is Vanessa single?

Vanessa Bauer is in a relationship with poi expert and circus performer Louis Nathaniel.

The pair have been travelling around the world almost non-stop this year and regularly post gushing Instagram messages about each other.

It looks like they met while both performing on cruise ships which means they get to do a lot of holidaying together while working.


When will Dancing On Ice 2019 start?

A start date for Dancing On Ice 2019 has not been officially announced.

However, all the previous series of the show started in mid-January and ran until mid-to-late March, depending on the number of pairs, so it's safe to expect the same in 2019.

Dancing On Ice proved a real hit with viewers since its return following a three-year break, after initially running from 2006 until 2014 and not returning until 2018.

Siobhan Greene, ITV's Head of Entertainment Commissioning, said "The show’s welcome back has exceeded our expectations and it’s been fantastic to see the audience at home loving it.

"The recommission is a no brainer and it’s brilliant for everyone involved to know it’ll be back next year."
