The greatest birthday party ever for Chris- Olympic Ceremony and Day 1

PARTY TIME!!!! WOO HOO!! 

(27/7/12) Yesterday a great day for our two favourite skaters.... Chris' 54th Birthday and the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Game!

As Olympic Ambassadors for Team GB, Jayne and Chris were at the Opening Ceremony for the Games.  The first tweet of the day was from Jayne to Chris (strange when tweet each other using the same account!)  Jayne had organised a party for that night ;) lol!

Chris later on thanked everyone for all the birthday wishes we tweeted him....

Jayne and Chris tweeted a number of pictures throughout the night..... 

"Mates" - @torvillanddean

Off to the Olympics- @torvillanddean

The Opening Ceremony was out of this world! A real party!!! What a day for Chris' Birthday to fall on.  Seems a few of you #TnDWorldFans and some of the athletes (I know 2 Aussie Athletes do! Water Polo and Hockey) share birthdays with Mr Dean. 

"Inside" - @torvillanddean

The opening showed cased United Kingdom in all in its glory.  Going through its history from green meadows of the English country to the modern day era celebrating the music of Great Britain.  

Jayne tweeted a picture of the birthday boy enjoying his party ;) lol -  "CHRIS enjoying the opening! Jx" @torvillanddean.  Seems like he was enjoying himself.  I wonder what it was like for Jayne and Chris to be there as Olympians.  It would bought back like great memories such as Chris carrying the British flag at the 1984 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony 

Thanks @buffycar for tweeting this! I couldn't find it x

A some of the highlights include the "Queen" jumping into the stadium, Mr Bean playing Chariots of Fire,  Hey Jude being sung by Paul McCartney.  Here below is a picture of Jayne and Chris during Parade of Nations... 

For me as Australian a proud moment was to see the Australian Olympic Team come in to the stadium. It's been 20 years since a woman carried the flag for Australia. 

And Team GB sure didn't disappoint! Here they bring in end of the Parade of Nations 

Jayne and Chris made an appearance down on the track with many of the other great Olympic Team GB legends.  Team GB Olympic Ambassadors for the London Games.  

Today our favourite pair seem to be adventuring around London seeing some of the events and sites of the Olympics Games....

Coffee by the serpentine 

Chris likes to travel in style or as in the case of the tweet -  incognito!

But today's event for well least Jayne is the Road Race. She is the at The Mall as I write this.

Late here so must be off to bed xx Goodnight!

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,
Kim xx

My two favourite individual pics our favourite skating duo! xxx

Holiday season...TEXT SANTA, Nutcracker and now Christmas break!

Merry Christmas TnDWorldFans!
It is that time year again! The holiday season and what have our favourite pair been up to on their finale week before the Christmas break??

To get in the spirit of Christmas,  Jayne and Chris were put of the opening to ITV's Text Santa first show. They had pre recorded the opening number with Diversity which was amazing and after it was shown they talked Phillip Scofield and Christine Bleakly about it!

Before the show Chris tweeted some pics of him and Jayne in the dressing room....

Chris first tweeted this.... Jayne was in makeup at the time x

Then this one was nicely tweeted to us after we asked. Aren't they so nice to us fans! Looking amazing! 

While backstage Jayne got kisses from the boys from The Wanted. Nice Jayne :) Lucky girl x

Chris later on in the week tested his new icon app and the pair went to see Mathew Bourne's Nutcracker with Karen Barber :) Very Christmassy! Quite a few fans saw them there as photos popped up on twitter... Not if it was right adding them here so I have it but by looks of tweets from Karen and Jayne the next day they had a great night xx.

So now DOI is on break for Christmas I hope they have a great one x

By the way this Friday (23/12/11) coming is our 1st birthday!! Can't believe this has been running for a year! 

Kim xx

P.S Trying to sort out Dancing on Ice stuff out for non UK fans at the moment. Not having much luck with ITV :(

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

Chris on Battle of the Blades, Jayne playing tennis at Wimbledon!

Hi TnDWorldFans!
I think was a bit too excited that Chris was on Battle of the Blades this week in Canada! I so grateful to the Battle of the Blades twitter (@CBCbattle) and their Social Media Correspondent Maura Grierson (@MauraGrierson) who helped us out with finding out about Chris being on the show. Give these guys are follow as they so great and with the final of the show this weekend I'm sure there is going to interesting stuff happening!!

Colin and Chris backstage at Battle of the Blades (Sunday show) 

Colin Ratuskiniak (as you know was a pro skater in the 2011 DOI series) got to meet up with Chris again at Battle of the Blades which he is Assistant Director on.  

Guest judge Chris

Elimination time :( 

Chris got to meet up again with a skating pair he choreographed for earlier this year. Piper and Paul! Hope they do well in the future! All the best to them. 

Chris also tweeted us when he was flying home with his Canadian *$.  

Jayne has been a little quite this week but she did share with us an amazing experience she got to have this week.  Playing tennis at Wimbledon!! Who would thought that she was watching tennis there a few months ago and now she got to play there. 

Tour ticket news is that we have the date of the Manchester tickets. They go on sale on the 23rd of November at 9am (Presale) General Public is on the 25th at 9am. Keep watching and look at the Ticket Master website for more details!

I leave you with this! A beautiful sun rise from Chris. 

Till next week, 

Kim xx
