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!

EXTRA POST: Giving support to raising money for cancer research

Hey TnDWorldFans!

Extra Post this week... This week I learnt from Karen Barber's daughter Emma about a young guy Nathan who is currently being treated for Leukaemia.  He has set up a twitter page to start a fundraising initiative to help raise money for existing cancer charities.

We as a group are going to put our support behind Nathan and try and help in any way we can! So Go and follow @be_MACHINE! so you can help too.

If you would like to donate email Nathan at ngcatchpole@gmail.com for more details!

Shoes!!! Getting right back up and reliving the tour!

Hey there #TnDWorldFans!
This week the tour DVD came out!!! Hope you were all able to get your copy.  I must say a huge thank you to @WAG2002 who has shared  with us screen caps and video from the DVD. Check them out on our facebook group page.

So our two favourite skaters... what have they been doing???

Jayne went shopping in Selfridges on Friday (today) , sadly wasn't able to get to the shoe department. :( Jayne also this week gave blood as well as her usual workouts.

Chris is still in the US at the moment.... He faced any mental blocks and got back onto his bike this week!  Arrived safely back after his ride.  Good on him for doing that!!

Lots of pictures from Chris this week....

13/11 - "Old photo New Take"

15/11 - View from the dentist chair. False sense of tranquility. And here is the drill.  Ouch! Hate em. 

18/11- Where am I going?

18/11 - What you starting at

Got to love Chris' sense of humour! 

DOI news: Holly Willoughby will not be hosting the next season of Dancing on Ice due to other commitments.  She is going to be replaced by Christine Bleakley.  I wish both of the girls the best in their new adventures. Holly will be missed but Christine is a huge fan of the show she I think she will do well.  http://www.itv.com/presscentre/pressreleases/programmepressreleases/dancingonice2012/default.html

Till next week x

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

Chris with judging panel : Sandra Bezic and Jeremy Roenick

Before show 2 Maura Grierson (BOTB's Social Media Correspondent) hanged out with Chris backstage! Here is a great photo that Maura tweeted us! Thanks Maura!!

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,

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!

PACKED POST: Change of season means business!

Hey TnDWorldFans
HUGE packed blog entry from me this week! Change of season was felt this week. Here in Australia you can tell summer is on its way. Doesn't get dark till about 7, 7:30pm and its getting warmer! While on the other side of the world in the UK our two favourite skaters felt the change of season noticing how dark its getting so early and the need for winter jackets!

Chris seemed to confuse everyone a little when he posted this:

His caption to it was "Fall is here"  Lots of replies to that saying its Autumn not Fall (think Chris was showing fact a part of him is connected to US) . Also some of you TnDWorldFans wondered where the picture was taken as it doesn't look like the UK more like the US. But it seems he didn't go back there so it reminds a mystery....

Chris also it seems got the new iPhone 4s. He wanted to show how it works so he tweeted this pic. 

Ah *$ (Starbucks) like I've said before it wouldn't been a TnD post without!! We hope he enjoyed his coffee. But I think its a given that he did :) 

Jayne mention she went to 10 Downing Street for a charity event.  She got to meet  David Cameron,  said he was very charming. Speaking of Jayne. She replied to a fan this week as she watched a video they had made. 

I've post the video for you to watch! I think its great. So good work @Marie_Cullen_xx! Loved it. 

Seems Jayne did too! 

This also it seems both Jayne and Chris have being hitting the gym. Their personal trainers (PT) have been working them VERY hard. Must note they are both ok!! Still alive :) 

Now on to the big thing! DOI celebrities for 2012 spottings! 

So this week we had a first look at who might be on DOI for the next season. I might get these wrong so bar with me, nothing has been conformed yet but these ones were picture with Jayne and Chris on the ice. There was more in article but I'm only going to go with the ones seen with our favourite duo.

The left is actress Laila Morse from EastEnders.  Then in the middle is I think Andy Whyment from Coronation Street. Lastly is Jennifer Ellison (former Brookside actress).  

Here is the link to the article:  http://www.people.co.uk/celebs-tv/2011/10/16/first-look-at-new-dancing-on-ice-contestants-practising-in-secret-102039-23491135/

So lots is happening!! 

See you next week x
