Last Post! Merry Christmas and Happy 2012!

 Dear TnDWorldFans!! 

This is my post for 2011. Next Saturday is New Years Eve so I think I deserve to get one last sneaky sleep in for what I've done this year? 

Let's catch up with our favourite skating pair on last time!! 

Firstly Chris left the UK this week to head home for Christmas with his two boys Jack and Sam. He didn't leave without warning us fans to look out for the new promo for DOI! (Hint from Matt Evers!! First being shown on Boxing Day! 26/12) 

 Since arriving home in the US Chris tweeted some beautiful photos of the Colorado snow and home coming sunset!

For Jayne she sadly had to take off her sparkly nails off but after telling us we received an interesting tweet about hour later. Once again a little while later we found out one of Jayne's children sent the tweet! This time it was her son Kieran who was bored as he had to sit through Mummy getting her nails off!! 

Lastly Jayne went to the BBC Sports Personality awards with Karen.  

Karen was nice enough to tweet a few pics of them!

End of the girls girly night out together! (Credit to Karen) 

Both the girls travelling travelled on the train home to their families for Christmas the next day saying how excited the kids would be! Seems the girls had a great night together xx 

So I wish them all a wonderful Christmas and relaxing break as well as it isn't long before the new series starts on the 8th of Jan! 

Yesterday was our first birthday as a group! We have been running for a year now! I never thought I could keep this running that long especially from here in Australia! But I must say thank you to you guys! Great TnDWorldFans! You guys have supported me and passed me information, posted pictures and uploaded videos on to youtube! Without you guys there really wouldn't be this group! SO THANK YOU SO MUCH xxx 

Well I think that's it! 

Merry Christmas everyone,  I hope it is full of joy, love, fun, peace and laughter!
Hope 2012 will bring many great things to you all! Wish you all the best for the new year.

Merry Christmas from Jayne and Chris (Christmas lights switch on in York 2011) 

Next time you see me in terms of the blog! It will be about a day before the first show! So it will be action packed with the lead up to the first show xx

God bless,

My two favourite individual pics our favourite skating duo! xxx

Glitter lips & nails, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Holiday Customs

Hello TnDWorldFans,

Let's see what our favourite skating duo have been up to....

Jayne and Chris put their experience to good this week as they mentored the GB Rhythmic Gymnastics team as part of their roles as Team GB Olympic Ambassadors.  For someone whose first time it was seeing the sport live it was surprising to see how Chris got into it.  Here is a link to the article with video footage of Jayne and Chris watching the girls train. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/gymnastics/16042941.stm

We wish the girls good luck as they train to qualify to get a host nation spot in the London Olympics next year. 

The other major thing that happened this week was filming for the Dancing on Ice 2012 promo! Very cold!! Interesting reading tweets from the pros. From them I can guess, Matt Evers, Daniel Whiston, Brianne Delcourt, Maria Filippov, Frankie and Jodeyne Higgins are most likely involved in the new series.  

Filming promo.

Jayne and Chris sent us a lovely picture of them at the shoot. Jayne sporting some beautiful glitter lips which made things hard to eat.

She also had some sparkly nails for the shoot. She got lots of comments in Harrods after a visit there this week.  Heaps of people seemed to love them.  

Karen sent a tweet this week that I think will sum up everything....

This week I started a discussion about how TnDWorldFans celebrate the holidays with the hashtags #tndfansholidaycustoms and #TNDFansChristmasCustoms. It was great learning about how you all celebrate this time of year around the world. 

Also some bad news for Aussie fans.  It looks like we aren't getting the new series of Dancing on Ice as the show not been cleared for internation transmission. I don't know if it can be change or what it means for other countries that have been getting the show in the past :( 

Till next week,

Kim

Start of choreography.... Means a crazy week!

Hey TnDWorldFans,

It's official December! It's one of the busiest times for our favourite skating pair as they prepare the new skating celebrities and pro partners for new series of Dancing on Ice.

This week seems to be first week of choreography.  Think it was bit of a crazy week it seems by the photo we got from Jayne and Chris at the end of it!

Just getting to the end of a full week of choreography do we look a little strange!

Karen mention about choreography too! "Yesterday saw the first routine choreographed for the new series, so exciting, on my way to work for more of the same, I love my job x" (29/11/11) and "3 routines choreographed for the new series and I think its safe to say its going to be great, more after lunch, everyone is very happy x" (1/12/11)


Chris also sent a pic of the practice studio! Exciting seeing it! We getting closer to the start of the season!!

Practice studio. Loads of steps being created. :)

We got to play a game of WITWAI this week since I last posted.  Here is the picture Chris sent...

Turns out the answer was St. Pancras! This was taken as Chris and Jayne travelled up to York to turn on the Christmas lights.  

Turning the lights on in York!

Jayne's appearance on Bedtime Stories on Nick Jr was shown this week! Sadly we pretty much missed it!

So Yes as we now in December lots is happening for Jayne and Chris! Lets just hope I can keep up with them!

DOI Craziness begins!

Hey there #TnDWorldFans!

Well its that time of year again!! DOI craziness has began.

Tour tickets came out in the last few days. Hope you were able to get the tickets you wanted! Loving hearing the excitement of you #TnDWorldFans as you talk about the tour. Sounds like its going to be an amazing tour! I even hear that Jayne and Chris are presenting the tour! Don't fear Jayne and Chris will still skating their routines like always! Follow @DOILIVETOUR for all the information you need to know about the tour and like the page on facebook http://www.facebook.com/dancingonicetour.  Loving the new look for the tour! Wondering if it is a hint of what's to come with the show?

Chris is officially back in the UK this week as the lead up to DOI begins... Him and Jayne have been very busy doing radio and TV interview to promote the DVD and the tour.  Really must they did a lot interviews on radio in one day! Going for a record guys? lol.

Here is a picture of Jayne and Chris with Christine (new host of DOI) after their interview on Daybreak. Pretty exciting.

Can't help myself got to add this pic! These two make me smile so much! Chris really seemed of liked rapping on tour!

This week Jayne helped open the rink at Somerset House! Looking amazing as always out there on the ice!

Looks so magical! Speaking of Somerset House Ice rink. Jayne and Chris were there today doing something for Text Santa! Text Santa is a new show from ITV to help raise money for people in need this Christmas season! http://www.itv.com/textsanta/ The link will explain it to you more!

Thanks @Emma_TND!! 

Thanks  @Emma_TND for the pics!! Can't wait to see what they got up to for it!!

This week we also go little hello from Jess, Jayne's 5 year old girl. She was playing with her mummy's phone  and sent this  picture. Not that we knew it was her when it was tweeted.  Jayne ended up realising what happened a bit later after wondering what us fans were talking about and I don't think Jess will be playing with Mummy's phone again!

So lots of hard work and fun times ahead for our favourite skating pair!
See you next week!

P.S Hope I didn't miss anything! So much happening!
P.P.S The studio rink is going down!!

Phillip (Schofield) posted this saying "Just got this pic from a mate at Elstree studios, with the words "water on, it begins" #dancingonice2012" 

Can't believe it's November already!

Hello #TnDWorldFans,
From the title of this post which came from a tweet of Jayne's I must say Can't believe it's November already and from what the part of the tweet November is going to a huge month with lots happening.

So what have our favourite duo been up this week?

Jayne seems to really into her early morning workouts lately. 7 and 7:30am workout this week.  Seems things have gone up since her 500 challenge with Matt Evers because she doing 1000 reps! She threw the challenge to Matt to see how he goes.  Jayne completed the whole thing in 41 mins! I think that's amazing.  Wonder woman!

Jayne got a new car this week and even shared a photo with us. She has been getting some use out of it too and seems to love it.

Chris is still in US this week still recovering from his run off with his bike. Seems that his road rash is getting annoying as he mention he is in the need for some baby mittens so he doesn't pick at the rash. Christmas present idea???

Chris also gave us fans the link to the 2011 DOI tour DVD and it looks spectacular! 

Tour DVD comes out on the 14th of November, so very soon!! Exciting stuff.  No news by the way on the 2012 tour tickets yet. 

As I was writing this Chris popped up on the @TnDWorldFans twitter timeline with the details to a competition run by the Times and the Sun newspaper to get tickets to London 2012. Here is the link he gave to competition: http://team-2012.com/be-there/

Lastly Chris will guest judging this weekend on Canadian skating show Battle of the Blades. Cant wait to see him on it. He was great last year when helped judge the final and this time will be the Semi final. He might get to say Hi to Colin! Colin was the professional skater with Laura Hamilton this year of Dancing on Ice where they came 2nd. Colin is actually working behind the scenes on the show. 

Well that's the week that was,

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!
Kim xx
