Evers has also appeared in all 6 series of Dancing on Ice partnering Bonnie Langford (where they were placed 3rd place), Lisa Scott-Lee, Suzanne Shaw where they won the competition in 2008 beating Chris Fountain and Frankie Poultney in the final 2. In the final, both of their performances scored the perfect 30 out of 30 which was a Dancing on Ice first and judge Nicky Slater said 'they were his champions and they deserved to win on the night'. During previous weeks the couple had received controversial comments from Nicky himself. In 2009 he partnered Zöe Salmon and they were popular with the public and judges but they were eliminated in the Skate-off against Jessica Taylor and Pavel Aubrecht. In the 5th series of Dancing on Ice, Matt's partner was Heather Mills. They were eliminated on the 5th week, losing out to Kieron Richardson. For the 6th series of the show, Matt was partnered with Denise Welch and finished in 6th place. In series 7 he is partnered with Jorgie Porter. Evers was cut on the forehead by Porter's blade in training in February 2012.[4] He was not expected to miss a show.[4]
