Loved-up: The first pictures of Dancing On Ice lovebirds Sam Attwater and Chloe Madeley have emerged


There were more than a few doubts when it was revealed Dancing On Ice contestants Chloe Madeley and Sam Attwater had started dating.

But the pair looked every inch love's young dream as they stepped out in Birmingham today.

While the new couple did their best to avoid being photographed hand-in-hand, they couldn't hide their genuine affection for each other as they strolled along ahead of their Dancing On Ice tour performance in the evening.

It seems things are going well for the lovebirds, as Dancing On Ice winner Sam recently revealed he had already met Chloe's famous parents Richard and Judy, labelling them 'great'.

A source told the Daily Mirror: 'Richard and Judy were keen to meet Sam. They take an avid interest in Chloe's life and they wanted to get to know the new man in her life.

'They invited him to their home for coffee. Sam was nervous but they made him feel at ease, chatting on their sofas.'

It was revealed earlier this month that Sam, 24, and Chloe, 23, had started dating, just days after Chloe declared her love for now ex-boyfriend Glenn Crickmar in an interview for Hello! magazine.

As she and Glenn posed together for the magazine, Chloe said: 'We have a conversation every day about how serious we are.

'He makes me laugh and is a gentleman.'

Doubts about the validity of Chloe and Sam's relationship stemmed from the fact that Sam was pictured in a steamy clinch with married fellow iceskater Alexandra Shauman in February, despite a series of photoshoots making out that partner Brianne Delcourt was his girlfriend.

He was accused of trying to increase his popularity after witnessing other couples such as Kara Tointon and Artem Chigvintsev win Stictly Come Dancing and is said to have had to apologise to show bosses.

But Sam claimed that it was no 'faux-mance' at the time.

He told Heat magazine: ''When we did the interview, Brianne and I were together, but we’re not now. Everything we said was true.'

He claimed: 'We broke up after the Heat shoot, actually. We knew it would be great and we loved doing it, but we thought the skating might get ignored among all the press about our romance, so we decided to slow down.'
