DANCING on Ice star Alexander Demetriou is married again after splitting from his pro dancer wife.

Alex, 34, previously confessed his close friendship with Maura ­Higgins, 32, made his wife Carlotta Edwards, 33, ­jealous – and helped tear their marriage apart in 2020.


But he's now tied the knot with Canadian skater Julia Mercer, announcing their big news on Instagram yesterday.

Sharing a beaming selfie from their getaway to New Mexico, Alex wrote, "Well today is the day I get to marry this worldie. Luckiest man alive."

His other half gushed in the comments section, "I love you!! See you down the aisle."

Alex previously told The Sun: “I think Carlotta found it hard to see me close, yet so professional, with Maura. It had an impact on her.

“I told Carlotta we needed a break but I knew it was for good. I didn’t want to lead her on any more.

“She was shocked at how ­serious it was. I’m not going to lie — it was my decision. Clearly she was very upset.

“Several times I had to explain to Carlotta that Maura and I were just friends. Once the rumours start, it becomes a ­conversation.

“It was hard for Maura being called a homewrecker online.”
