It's back!!! and DOI goes gold!

Hi Everyone!

The blog is back!!! I've had crazy year this year with uni and work but now I am officially finished my degree and got a bit more time on my hands so the blog is back to stay, and great timing as well.

Dancing on Ice had it's Olympic Special : "Dancing on Ice goes Gold" tonight (UK time). It filmed just after the 2012 series.  Let me just say it so worth the 5am wake up to watch for me. All the Olympians extremely well for the short preparation time.   Jayne and Chris watched the show together,  tweeting us a pic before show started with Chris only just got back from being in the US with his two boys .

The Olympians involved came from a range of sports, all legends in what they do including Olga Korbut who won 6 Olympic medals in her time in Gymnastics .  Here is a pic of Olga with Jayne and Chris. It's was strange watching as an overseas fan as I'm not a supporter of TeamGB, I'm Team Aus.  But I still got a sense of pride watching these Olympians perform.  That's what is special about the Olympics, despite where we come from, it brings the world together for a moment in unity. 

Jayne and Chris did breathtaking routine to Proud,  the routine was also performed on this years Dancing on Ice tour as well.  Let's say and I think you all agree TnDWorldFans that Jayne and Chris certainly did us proud!

A major highlight of the night was seeing Robin Cousins skate.  It's first time in 12 years since the Dancing on Ice head judge has performed in front of an audience on the ice!! He certainly wowed us fans with his routine to Paul McCartney's song Valentine. Totally inspiring!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIMvnvfEvUw&feature=youtu.be 

The night ended with Steve Williams (Rowing) and professional Katie Stainsby winning the gold with their routine to "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon, such a well deserve win! But very close to Olga Korbut who came second with the silver.  The bronze position was sailer Pippa Wilson.  

So the whole night was a perfect lead up to Olympics which start on Friday, funny enough Chris' birthday!! Jayne and Chris are Olympic ambassadors for the London Games so as Jayne mention when she was on This Morning recently with Robin that she and Chris will be at Opening Ceremony.  

Jayne and Chris also a little while back got to be part of the Olympic Torch relay when  it was in Nottingham lighting the caldron at the end of that's day's relay.  Also Jayne and Chris earlier performed with the torch in an ice olympic gala at the National Ice Centre in Nottingham.  

 So we wish Chris an amazing birthday for Friday and we hope him and Jayne have a excellent time at the opening ceremony. 

Write soon,

Safety first, snow and getting older... also Tour Tickets

Hey TnDWorldFans!

Blog time!! So what's been happening in world of Torvill and Dean?? Let's see....
Chris has seemed to of gone back to Colorado this week and we got to see some of the most amazing shots of the snow there. Here are they are:

It's a long way from the picture of fall we got last week!

Chris this week also gave us all a safety lesson after have blow off his bike at 35mph (56.3kph) Wear a helmet! Chris was a bit shaken up by it and got gravel rash. But his helmet made sure it wasn't any worse. Chris is OK by the way from what we heard the next day from Jayne. So lesson: Wear ya helmet when riding.

Seems Chris has taken over the account this week cause there is more!
Only in the last few hours Chris was tweeting that he was off to see the doctor again. More doctor visits  as you get older it seems as well as something else which you'll have to look at their tweets to get. I'm not saying it cause it was too much information which seems Jayne agreed, tweeting that was too much info.

DOI news this week : Keith Chegwin had to pull out of DOI after major fall breaking 3 ribs and fractured his shoulder. Jayne and Chris were amazing him helping out. They are disappointed to lose him from the line up. I wish him speedy recovery!

Also pro news is that Isabelle Gauthier and  Katie Stainsby are not back for the new series. Isabelle is at the moment just started training for the Turkish version of DOI. Nina Ulanova confirmed she is back and we have new pro - Vicky Ogden!! (twitter name @vickyogden1)

Lastly news from Jayne about tour tickets - They come out in November. She didn't say when in November so keep an eye out! I'll try and tweet any news when I hear it!

I think that's it!
Leaving you with a pic from Chris of Pikes Peak mountain. Which some of you might remember Karen tweeting about earlier this year when her and Chris went up it.

 

Tweet ya later!
