TACKLING NEW CHALLENGES 'IF YOU PUT AN AFFAIR INTO THE MIX WITH ALL THE TRAINING, IT'D BE EXHAUSTING!'

Ben Foden is the first to admit his public image hasn't been the best over the past few years. The rugby ace made headlines for being unfaithful to his ex-wife, The Saturdays singer Una Healy, in 2018. Then, in 2019, he married American businesswoman Jackie Belanoff-Smith after two weeks of dating - on the day his divorce came through.

But now Ben, who shares 19-monthold daughter Farrah with Jackie, 37, tells OK! he hopes his stint on this year's Dancing On Ice can help redeem him in the eyes of the public.

"Doing a show like this, you try to show people at home that I'm not a bad guy, everyone makes mistakes," the 36-year-old explains. "I'm very happy and we've moved on from all that. Jackie and I have Farrah, Una and I are in a good place. It's all part of the healing process, how you're perceived. And I think we're getting there."

As we catch up over Zoom after our stunning family shoot, it's clear the couple are very loved-up and they bat away fears about Dancing On Ice curses. During our chat, their gorgeous daughter even pops up to say hello, as does Tadhg, the six-year-old son Ben shares with Una, 40, along with daughter Aoife, nine.

Tadhg and Aoife live in Ireland with their mum but were over for a Christmas visit to Ben's brother Tom's house in Cheshire, where the couple are staying for the duration of Ben's Dancing On Ice journey.

Here, they reveal their plans for the future, chat about a potential move from their current home in New York to the UK and when they'll be having another baby...

Hi, both! How are you doing?
