Who is Brianne Delcourt and where is she from?
Canadian born Brianne claims to have started ice skating when she was just a two-year-old girl.

In November 2017, it was revealed that Brianne would be returning to Dancing On Ice for the revamped 2018 series.
She first joined the series in 2010 when she reached third place with Hollyoaks actor Keiron Richardson.
She then went all the way to victory in 2011 with EastEnders actor Sam Attwater.
Brianne followed this success with partners Sébastien Foucan, Matt Lapinskas, with whom she was runner-up, and Gareth Gates.
When the show returned in 2018, Brianne was partnered with Alex Beresford before the pair were voted off in week eight.
In 2019, she partnered Mark Little, but they were first to be booted off.
Brianne has a daughter, born in November 2016, Gracie Isabella.
When did Brianne Delcourt meet Kevin Kilbane?
