Dancing On Ice star Michaela Strachan, 58, has been turning heads this season with her impressive skating performances despite early concerns about her age. Her long-term partner, Nick Chevallier, was reportedly “nervous” about her doing the show at first. However, Michaela has proven that age is just a number as she consistently dazzles viewers on the ice.
During a recent interview with Bella Magazine, Michaela recalled the amusing yet heartfelt reaction from her partner. “It’s so funny because my friends and family have a party back in South Africa every Sunday to watch the show,” she said. “Someone took a video of Nick, and he looked so nervous! I think his mind is going, ‘Please don’t fall over’. He’s completely encouraging, he just doesn’t want me to hurt myself. I think his attitude at the beginning was that I’m 58 years old.” These candid remarks shed light on the initial trepidation from those closest to her, even as they offered unwavering support, as reported by the Express.
