Following the show, Jane paid a heartfelt tribute to Sylvain on social media, where she thanked him for saving her. She wrote on Twitter: "Thank you to the make up team for sprinkling their magic and making me feel me again. Massive thanks to @BhamPhysioLtd and @slongchambon for saving me today. And thank you for voting x."

Jane and Sylvain were friends before the show started for many years via her Corrie co-star and Sylvain's wife, Samia Longchambon. Jane and her husband Robert were guests at Sylvain and Samia's wedding in 2016. The pair met themselves when Samia took part in Dancing on Ice six years ago. Samia has been just as supportive for the pair, and has been going to watch them skate, as well as championing them on social media after their performances.
