Jen Metcalfe is SUPPORTING Dancing on Ice ex Sylvain and partner Steph to win

No hard feelings here!

Hollyoaks star Jen Metcalfe has proved she’s totally over her break-up with Dancing On Ice pro Sylvain Longchambon by rooting for him to win the show with partner Stephanie Waring.

“I watched Dancing On Ice the other night and Steph is doing really well. I think she’ll go really far,” Jen told SunOnline.

And, speaking about Sylvain, she added: “She’s got a good partner. I think they’ll go all the way.”

Jen said she doesn’t hold any grudge against Sylvain, despite him seemingly breaking her heart when they split.

And when asked if she thought Steph should try to trip him up, she said: “She doesn’t need to do that. They are a good team.”

Jen met Sylvain in 2011 when she took part in the ice-dancing show as his partner. The couple were together for two years but split when he met Corrie star Samia Ghadie, who plays Maria.

Sylvain left Jen on Christmas Day, breaking her heart  and at the time, she said the break-up felt “like a death”.

But five years on, Sylvain and Samia are now happily married with a son, Yves, and Jen – who’s currently on maternity leave from her role as Mercedes McQueen in Hollyoaks – is also completely loved up.

She’s happily committed to Geordie Shore star Greg Lake and adoring mum to their baby boy Daye.

And Dancing On Ice hasn’t put her off trying more reality shows in the future – in fact, she’s got her eye on one in particular.

“I’d love to do Strictly,” she said. “Greg’s not bothered about the curse. I’d be fine!”
