Although the former footballer wasn’t partnered with Frankie when he first appeared on the show in 2006, the couple will take to the ice together when the all-star series kicks off next month.
And David has said the ITV show’s final run is going to be ‘extra special’ for him.
‘We are engaged now and if it wasn’t for the show, I may not have met Frankie. It is nice to be able to dance together,’ he told the Daily Mail.
Frankie didn’t appear on DOI until the following year in 2007 but the couple went on to meet during rehearsals for the show’s 2008 live tour.
David, 50, then moved in with Frankie, 40, after leaving his second wife Debbie Rogers, with whom he has two children.
The ex-England goalkeeper has a further two children with his first wife Sandra Seaman.
