Pleasure Beach Arena’s Head Coach Joins Dancing On Ice
UNITED KINGDOM / AGILITYPR.NEWS / January 22, 2020 / Pleasure Beach Arena’s Head Ice Skating Coach, Oscar Peter, has joined the cast of ITV’s Dancing on Ice. Oscar will be heading straight into the action and will be appearing as one of the professional skaters on the hit show, partnering American model and businesswoman Caprice Bourret.
This Swiss skater started on the ice when he was nine years old and was twice Junior National Champion and twice silver medallist at the Swiss Nationals, as well as competing at the Junior World Championships. He switched to ice dancing when he was 22 and has competed with some of the most gifted skaters of his generation. He has taken part in three European and World championships.
Oscar joined the cast of Hot Ice, which is staged every summer at Pleasure Beach Arena, in 2013 and was a key member of the cast for five years. Since performing as part of the Hot Ice cast, Oscar has remained at the Arena, coaching and training the next generation of skaters.
Oscar isn’t the only former Hot Ice skater to be taking part in this year’s Dancing on Ice. Four of the current professionals, Alex Murphy, Tom Naylor, Alexander Demetriou and Carlotta Edwards, have previously skated in the show and three time Dancing on Ice winner, and the show’s current Associate Creative Director, Daniel Whiston, also performed in the show.
On joining Dancing on Ice, Oscar comments, “It’s great to be able to actually take part in Dancing on Ice this year, normally I wouldn’t be able to commit to a full series as it’s around 5 months, so we thought why not! It’s a lot of fun and I hope you all enjoy watching. Caprice is lovely and likes to work hard and have fun learning skating so it’s a perfect partner to get.”
Amanda Thompson OBE, Managing Director of Blackpool Pleasure Beach said ‘Everyone at Pleasure Beach Arena is delighted for Oscar and we are all sure that he will be a huge success on Dancing on Ice. We are proud that yet another former cast member from Hot Ice will be able to show their talents to a national TV audience and we will all be cheering him on each week.”
The new Hot Ice show for 2020, Euphoria, runs from 9th July to 12th September 2020. For more information on this show, or to purchase tickets for Hot Ice, please visit www.hoticeshow.com
