Jennifer Metcalfe "could win" 'Dancing On Ice' if she uses her "steaming chemistry" with partner Sylvian Longchambon to her advantage.
Jason Gardiner - who is joined on the ITV1 show's judging panel by Emma Bunton and Robin Cousins - believes the rumoured couple could have an "enormous edge" in the skating competition if they tap into their feelings for one another.
He explained: "Jennifer and Sylvian's chemistry is steaming. I have a feeling the two of them are quite amorous towards each other. If they tap into their feelings for each other - and it's obvious they really do fancy each other - and use that it's going to give them enormous edge.
"There are no other couplings so far that have that natural chemistry."
The famously sharp-tongued judge also described Jennifer and Sylvian's saucy smooch at the end of their skate-off on Sunday night's (16.01.11) show as "touching".
Jason added to The Sun newspaper: "To me, the kiss was so touching. It's hard what they are doing and they did put themselves on the line and there's a lot at stake.
"She absolutely deserved a kiss for nailing it in the skate-off."
