Show Notes
Lewis Gibson grew up in a sporty family, but it wasn’t long before he realised that football wasn’t for him.
In fact, a chance viewing of ‘Dancing on Ice’ on ITV opened up his eyes to a whole world that he hadn’t seen before, and set him off on a journey that led all the way to this year’s Winter Olympics in China.
We’ve wanted to have Lewis on the podcast for a while – and we have to tell you, this episode doesn’t disappoint at all. In fact, it’s an absolute cracker!
We talk about his journey in sport; his transition into ice dance; the music and routines; his partnership with Lilah Fear; his personal journey; what he nicked from the Olympic village – and so, so much more.
Honestly, this episode was an absolute joy – and we really hope you enjoy it!
