EX Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner has revealed that he was born after his real mum was raped as a teen. The Australian choreographer, 51, was adopted at six months old, but only discovered the truth when his aunt confessed the shocking family secret to him as an adult.
Jason, who quit the ITV series in 2019, said: “At 30 my adopted mother decided to fly all the way to London because she wanted to tell me the truth about my adoption, from Australia to London. “And I was in Cats at the time in the West End, so I was exhausted, and my mother sort of rocks up unannounced and says, ‘Right, we need to talk about your adoption.’ “And I was like, ‘What on earth has brought all this on?’ "And that’s when she preceded to tell me the shocking truth that she was really my aunt, and that her younger sister is my biological mother, but that she was raped at 13.” READ MORE ON Jason GardinerSLIPPERY SLOPE Dancing On Ice fans have same judges' complaint and want Mr Nasty backnot n-ice DOI's Jason Gardiner reignites feud with Phillip Schofield over his replacement Speaking on Michelle Visage’s Rule Breakers podcast Jason opened up about the relationship he has with his mother now.
