Nicholas Mark Slater (born 6 April 1958) is a former ice dancer and TV and theatrical performer.

In 2008, he created and starred in Ice Times and toured UK theatres skating with Louise Owen and Charlotte Aitken.

In 2006, he joined the ITV celebrity skating show Dancing on Ice as a judge, a role in which he continued for five years.

[citation needed] During the final series of Dancing on Ice in early 2014, judge Robin Cousins was absent for weeks six and seven of the show due to him commentating at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

[5] He had previously judged the World Professional Figure Skating Championship for ABC and Strictly Ice Dancing for the BBC.

From his earliest recollections, he was helping his father edit music on their Ferrograph 'Reel to Reel' tape machine for ice dance performances.

[citation needed] On 23 March 2022, Slater and Simon Reed were acting as the commentators of the international feed of the 2022 World Figure Skating Championships.

After the event concluded, a hot mic recorded them referring to two-time World Champion and three-time Olympic medalist Meagan Duhamel as the "bitch from Canada", while laughing.
