Louis: I’ll Jump into marriage
FAVE WANTS FAMILY
®
OLYMPICS hunk Louis Smith would be happy to swap The Jump title for wedding bells.
The gymnast, who is favourite to win the Channel 4 show tomorrow, is dating Strictly dancer Florence Edge.
And he says that despite all his medals and glory, he would love nothing more than to be a married family man.
Louis said: “I’d love to get married, have kids and settle down. That’s my end goal.
“I’ve been seeing Florence since January and she is the most amazing and lovely and talented girl.”
He added: “She is coming out this weekend. She’s been sending me texts saying ‘You’re a great athlete and a great person’.”
Telly rivals have called Louis “arrogant” as he keeps on winning Jump events.
But he said: “It’s frustrating if people mistake confidence for arrogance. I never gloat.”
Even though he is bookies’ favourite, he believes The Jump might get a first female champ as fellow finalists Amy Willerton, Lydia Bright, Kadeena Cox and Emma Parker Bowles are “serious contenders” alongside Jason Robinson and Spencer Matthews.
Meanwhile, Amy says The Jump has turned her from “Princess Marshmallow into Lara Croft”.
The former Miss Universe GB, egged on by her entrepreneur boyfriend Daniel Day, has conquered her fears.
She said: “Although I was scared about doing the show, Daniel wasn’t worried at all. He’s been the one telling me to get up when I have fallen.
“He brings out the fighter in me. He said: ‘I want to see Lara Croft and not Princess Marshmallow’.” ¬
The Jump final is tomorrow on Channel 4 at 8.30pm.
