And Eddie, 57, told The Sun he hadn’t had a “jump” for years, adding: “I’m always open to meeting somebody and falling in love again.

“I’ve tried dating apps but had no luck at all.

“I’d prefer to meet someone face-to-face.

“I’ve probably got more chance of meeting someone when I dance and we’ll have a connection.”

Eddie, real name Michael Edwards, was the first Brit Olympic ski jumper in 60 years when he came last at the 1988 winter games in Canada.
