Adding: "It’s an absolute pleasure to be skating with @colin_grafton All starting to feel very real now."
Reposting the snap on her Instagram story, she tagged her partner again as she added: "Dream team," along with several themed emojis.
Mollie, 22, rose to fame earlier this year when she was the last remaining faithful contestant on the Claudia Winkleman fronted show.
She lost out on the prize pot when Harry Clark, 23, managed to deceive her for the whole series, leaving the star and fans devastated.
Colin made a name for himself in the US when he won a bronze medal at the 2012 World Junior Championships in Minsk with partner Kylie Duart.
He first joined Dancing On Ice in 2022 for the fourteenth series of the show, which was fronted by Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.
A year later for the fifteenth instalment in 2023, he was partnered with RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner, The Vivienne.
The duo reached third place in the grand final, behind runner-up Joey Essex and Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson.
Last year, he was paired with Coronation Street actress Claire Sweeney.
However they did not last long in the competition as they were the third couple to be eliminated from the show.
Dancing On Ice will return to ITV1 and ITVX in January 2025.
