Dancing on Ice star Brian McFadden has had a string of high-profile relationships over the years, including Kerry Katona, Delta Goodrem and Vogue Williams. But since 2016, the former Westlife star has been happily dating PE teacher from Rochdale, Danielle Parkinson. The couple have kept their romance low-key, but Danielle regularly appears on Brian's social media posts, including photos with his two daughters, Molly and Lilly-Sue. Brian also posted a rare tribute to his girlfriend, proving just how devoted he is to the schoolteacher in April. He shared a picture of Danielle enjoying the view on a sunny day, and wrote next to it: "True love is when you capture the one you love unknown to them and they still look the way you see them when [you] feel your strongest love for them. My Danielle in her element and still an angel. Still my everything xxxx."
