The pair then discussed how Ed has been hosting a Ukrainian family - who also happen to be ballroom dance champions - since last year. Ed explains: "Susanna is in Kyiv. Susanna’s going to be with lots of different guests, but specifically, she’s going to be with a dance teacher who is the teacher of the two under-12 dance champions. They have been living with us… since last April. There’re two families."
He continued: "They partly do their dance lessons on Zoom back to Kyiv from our kitchen but Katya has also helped connect them to dance teachers in Manchester. She’s seen them dance, given them tips and encouragement."

Ranvir added: "The reality of life there, it’s creating - you have to normalise the air raid sirens and normalise life there when it’s a completely terrifying situation."
