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."

“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.”
