0:00:08 > 0:00:10Go, go!
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Flat! Again!
0:00:15 > 0:00:16Did you get it now?
0:00:16 > 0:00:17CHILDREN: Yes!
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Yes? Great.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Making it as a champion skater doesn't come easy.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26It takes years of practice...
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Hard work...
0:00:29 > 0:00:32One more, then I'd be a very happy coach.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34..and dedication.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Five, six, seven, eight.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Edge, edge. Not too bent, Char.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44But even then, only a few will become tomorrow's...
0:00:46 > 0:00:47..Ice Stars.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Coming up...
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Competition day in Bracknell has finally arrived for Jellie...
0:00:55 > 0:00:59I'm feeling quite nervous about it, and all the elements and the lifts.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Charlie's classmates battle it out to get a skating scholarship...
0:01:02 > 0:01:05One of your pupils has been talent ID'd.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11..and figure skater Kloe goes back home to visit her family in Hungary.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16I'm about to see my sister, cos I've not seen her for four month now.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28The annual Gala is now just a couple of weeks away...
0:01:29 > 0:01:33..and coach Tamara wants everyone to put in 100%.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38There's so much to do for Gala, and we don't have much time left.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40This is a huge challenge.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41So, let's get one arm off.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46Hundreds of tickets have been sold, so the routines need to be perfect.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Up, up, up, up, up!
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Go!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Go, go, go!
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Around. Now press down, press...
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Yes. Better! Well done!
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Josh and Ellie have a starring role at the Gala, which needs practicing.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03I'm really excited about the Gala.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06It's a good chance to show everyone what you can do, really,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08so I'm really excited.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12But for Jellie, the Gala isn't the only thing on their minds.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Soon, Josh will have to make a big decision.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21I've got to make a decision between ballet
0:02:21 > 0:02:23and ice skating by the end of this year,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25and I'm really struggling to choose one or the other,
0:02:25 > 0:02:29cos they both lead to different things that I quite like to do.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33He was supposed to make the decision last year, but he didn't.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37If he went and did ballet, I'd find him and bring him back.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42If I have to stop skating with Ellie, she'd be on her own,
0:02:42 > 0:02:46so she'd have to either find a new partner or skate solo.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I'd feel a bit upset,
0:02:49 > 0:02:54and I'd feel like I'd lost someone in my family, so...
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Training, travelling and buying all of the kit needed for skating
0:03:00 > 0:03:04costs thousands of pounds every year for Josh's family.
0:03:04 > 0:03:10Because ballet is funded, if I was to choose that, then we'd have money
0:03:10 > 0:03:14for the whole family to do something that we wanted to do together.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Even though, obviously, ballet is funded and skating is not,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19we don't want to put that onto him,
0:03:19 > 0:03:24we want him to decide for himself where his passion lies the most.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30A ballet school in London is offering the chance of a full scholarship,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33so he's come to visit with his mum to find out more.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35We've come to look around the Central Ballet School
0:03:35 > 0:03:39today to see if that helps me make my decision.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43He's having a tour of the facilities with Stephen, one of the tutors.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- Hello, Josh, I'm Stephen. How are you? How are you?- Hi, I'm Jo.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Welcome to the school. And you're gladly welcome
0:03:49 > 0:03:51to just have a look around.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Right, so, basically, you'll have a two-hour ballet class every day.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56You have contemporary dance three times a week.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- From 8:45 till 4:45, it's pretty full on.- Yeah.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02MUSIC IS PLAYED ON PIANO
0:04:02 > 0:04:07The school aims to launch their dancers into a career in ballet.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08MUSIC CONTINUES
0:04:12 > 0:04:13If Josh gets a scholarship, it would
0:04:13 > 0:04:17mean a move away from Nottingham and his ice-skating world.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Can you see yourself doing this kind of work?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26It's hard, isn't it? Just a bit scary and a bit daunting.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30To help Josh understand what sacrifices he might have to make,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Stephen's asked two pupils to have a chat with him.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38You know, like, where you stay, is it hard to find your way here?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41It's scary at the beginning cos there's so many Tubes.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Once you get to know your route, it's easy.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I would get good at cooking.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47JOSH LAUGHS
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Like... Because, I mean, I'm glad my mum...
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Cos she got me to cook at least, like, one meal a week before I came.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57I'm really glad she did because otherwise you'll just be living off
0:04:57 > 0:05:00ready meals and stuff, and that's not what you want to be doing.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Cos I do ice skating, as well, erm, I've got to pick which one I'd want
0:05:05 > 0:05:09to do, so I'm trying to hope that this will help me make my decision.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- That's tough. - That's a really tough decision.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16You should always, like, follow what you love.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Good advice!
0:05:22 > 0:05:23I really enjoyed coming here
0:05:23 > 0:05:26and watching all the older people do ballet.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I'd feel bad if I came here and left Ellie on her own,
0:05:29 > 0:05:33but...I'll have to choose what I think's right for me.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36MUSIC ENDS
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Figure skater Kloe has some exciting news.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48She's got a week off training, so she's going back to see
0:05:48 > 0:05:51the family she left behind when she moved to Nottingham.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I'm actually from Hungary, so my...
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Only me and my mum
0:05:58 > 0:06:01'live in England and the rest of my family live in'
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Hungary still. And we moved to England just for skating.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11School was definitely hard because of my English
0:06:11 > 0:06:13'and because I didn't know anyone there.'
0:06:15 > 0:06:19'At first I remember not talking for about, I think,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22'three months or something.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27'But then I think one day I just thought, "I am just going to try,"'
0:06:27 > 0:06:30and everyone understood what I was trying to say
0:06:30 > 0:06:33so since then I talk.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38It's been four months since she last went back to Hungary.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43I go whenever I can so I can see my dad and my sister more often.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48But last time I went was Christmas so I'm really excited to go.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53So she's flying on her own to the place she used to call home.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Being back home is a welcome break from Kloe's punishing skating
0:07:09 > 0:07:13schedule. And a chance for her to take some me time.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16It's like being a normal teenager for a week now because I don't
0:07:16 > 0:07:20skate or anything, just chill and spend time with my family.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25And the chance to remember what life was like before she moved away.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29I have a few pictures of me and my sister and my dad,
0:07:29 > 0:07:31like the whole family here.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33This one is my sister
0:07:33 > 0:07:35when I think she was about three or two.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37That's my dad swimming.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38And that's me.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Even though Kloe has taken a break from training, there are some
0:07:44 > 0:07:46routines she can't escape.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Breakfast with Dad.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50THEY SPEAK IN OWN LANGUAGE
0:07:53 > 0:07:56We're making scrambled eggs.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I don't see my dad as often anyway
0:08:01 > 0:08:03and now that I'm here we can do stuff like this
0:08:03 > 0:08:04and it's really nice.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07We talk all the time on the phone and everything,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10but it's really nice to be here and
0:08:10 > 0:08:15spend time together. We love cooking
0:08:15 > 0:08:17with my dad so it's really good.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Obviously this is not my thing. Skating is.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32THEY SPEAK IN OWN LANGUAGE
0:08:39 > 0:08:42As Kloe doesn't normally get much time out
0:08:42 > 0:08:45when she's in Nottingham, she's planned a bit of pampering.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49THEY SPEAK IN OWN LANGUAGE
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I told him what colour my hair is going to be
0:08:51 > 0:08:54and then we just said that we're going to ask if she can do that
0:08:54 > 0:08:57and if not then I just go darker brown
0:08:57 > 0:08:59but I think she will be able to do it.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02So, it's off to town to hit the hairdresser's.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09And she's not going alone.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Szia!
0:09:14 > 0:09:16SHE SPEAKS IN HUNGARIAN
0:09:16 > 0:09:19She's meeting up with her grandma.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22She was saying that she's really happy that I'm here
0:09:22 > 0:09:25and that she doesn't really get to see me that often.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27And that it's really nice now that I am here.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29SHE SPEAKS IN HUNGARIAN
0:09:31 > 0:09:34We came to the city to do my hair, to the hairdresser's
0:09:34 > 0:09:37because I'm dying it kind of blondish.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40So, that's why we're here now.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46SHE SPEAKS IN HUNGARIAN
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Kloe wants her new hair to be like fashion model Cara Delevingne's.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Yeah, I showed her what my hair is going to be like.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58And then, yeah, she says she's going to do the dye now.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00SHE SPEAKS IN HUNGARIAN
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Of course, another cheeky selfie!
0:10:11 > 0:10:14THEY SPEAK IN HUNGARIAN
0:10:17 > 0:10:22- See you later!- See you later! - THEY LAUGH
0:10:22 > 0:10:24With her new look complete, what does she think?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26I'm definitely happy with it.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I'm just saying that I want it a bit blonder.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31And I'm going to get that next time I come.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40Pampering over, Kloe heads across town for a long overdue catch-up
0:10:40 > 0:10:43with a very special person. Her sister.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47I've not seen her for four month now, since Christmas.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48So, now I'm going to see her
0:10:48 > 0:10:51and maybe have a coffee or something and just have a chat.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Hey!
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- I missed you! - I missed you too!
0:10:57 > 0:10:59'I miss her all the time.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01'She's my sister, but, yeah, I have days when I'm like,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04"Why am I not with my sister?" Yeah.'
0:11:05 > 0:11:08THEY SPEAK IN HUNGARIAN
0:11:08 > 0:11:10OK.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15I miss you so much. I wish I could go back more.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Yeah, I think it would be nice.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Obviously, I miss you guys, family and friends.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24- The only hard thing for me is leaving you guys behind.- I know!
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I'm so proud of you.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30'It's great seeing my sister like this
0:11:30 > 0:11:32'because she's not just my sister.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36'She's like my best friend, obviously. So, yeah...'
0:11:36 > 0:11:40After coffee, the girls head off for some quality sister time,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42catching up in the city.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Back in Nottingham, it's as busy as ever, with home-grown talent
0:11:51 > 0:11:55practising hard to become the ice hockey stars of the future.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00And Charlie is one of those rising stars.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04I was six when I started playing ice hockey.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06And, erm, I was talent identified.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I got the scholarship to play hockey.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10It was through his school's weekly
0:12:10 > 0:12:13skating lessons that Charlie got into the game.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20When they read my name out, erm, I was really, really excited. And...
0:12:21 > 0:12:26..I... I just went up and got my scholarship, had a photo taken...
0:12:29 > 0:12:30I took that scholarship
0:12:30 > 0:12:33and got skates from up in the ice locker for free.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Like, with, it came with the scholarship.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39I just carried on and carried on and carried on.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Charlie's commitment recently saw him
0:12:41 > 0:12:45train with the older boys in the under-12 squad.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47It's really full-on.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49And now, there's a chance for someone from his school to
0:12:49 > 0:12:53follow in Charlie's footsteps - and win a scholarship too.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Which is more fun? Ice hockey or ice-skating?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Erm, hockey.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05- But it's dangerous!- But still, once you get used to it...
0:13:05 > 0:13:08There are 60 hopefuls and only two scholarships.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10So, the competition is tough.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16I like ice-skating because I can go really fast.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Superfast.- Arms out!
0:13:18 > 0:13:21The first time when I went on the ice, it was scary.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23But now I love it!
0:13:23 > 0:13:27It's time for the pupils to show the coaches what they can do on the ice.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Remember, arms out, heels to toes.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Very good. Well done, Joseph.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39And some are finding it easier than others...
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Strong arms...
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I was in front...
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Are you ready? Backwards and forwards,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50but we're going to do it round the circle.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53I'm finding the stopping and gliding hard.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Because when I'm doing stopping,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I don't always have the chance to slow down.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05There's always children who can naturally glide.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07So, we're looking for that.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12The coaches aren't giving anything away just yet.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14The pupils will have to wait
0:14:14 > 0:14:18until their next assembly to find out who's won.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30With Josh in London, thinking about his choices, Ellie is back at school.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33TEACHER SPEAKS IN FRENCH
0:14:33 > 0:14:37And Josh's decision about his future is on her mind.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41He has to choose between ballet and skating. So, I don't know...
0:14:41 > 0:14:44So, what happens if he goes?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- I stop skating.- What?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- So, you would stop everything?- Yeah.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Why do you have to stop everything because he's leaving?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Cos I can't get anywhere without him.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00- Can't you do it by yourself?- Yeah, but I won't get anywhere, will I?
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Why?
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Cos you're amazing!
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Is there no more boy dancers that can, like, help you
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- achieve what you do, if Josh actually goes?- No.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Everyone's got a partner.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16So, could you not make it to the, like, Olympics, or anything,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18if he goes?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Oh! That's so bad!- We need to go.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25All right, come on, we need to go back to lessons.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27It looks as though Ellie's friends are just as worried
0:15:27 > 0:15:30about Josh's decision as she is.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Let's hope he chooses skating.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42Back in Hungary, it's not all pampering and socialising for Kloe.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45She's decided to get some inspiration for the gala, while she's here,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48by going to the rink where her skating career began.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53- That was good.- Yeah.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Remember when me and you skated together?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- Yeah, it was fun.- Yeah, when we were really small.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07I started here when I was seven, I think. And until I was 12.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11So, this rink is kind of a rink to remember for me.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13And, yeah, I did loads of competitions here.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I've won a couple of nationals here, so, yeah.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I'm so proud of her.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21She started to skate here and she's getting better all the time.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24So, yeah, she's my little sweet sister.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25I like this rink a lot.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28It's nice to come back before the gala and everything like that.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33I think for the gala, the Hungarian music is really nice because
0:16:33 > 0:16:36the audience, you can connect with the audience really nice.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I think it's inspiring for me to do the gala
0:16:38 > 0:16:41because it's Hungarian themed, for me.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Being in the rink where she spent five years learning to skate,
0:16:45 > 0:16:49it's not long before Kloe bumps into a friendly face.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Hey, how are you doing?- I'm good!
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- I missed you.- I missed you too.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- Are you coming to England soon? - Yeah, I think this summer.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59It's really nice to see you again!
0:16:59 > 0:17:02It's really nice to see you again too!
0:17:02 > 0:17:05She was one of my friends I used to skate with here and, yeah...
0:17:05 > 0:17:09We had the same trainer, so we trained together every day.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14It was really nice to come back and with my sister as well,
0:17:14 > 0:17:16so, I wasn't on my own.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19It was really good to get some inspiration for the gala
0:17:19 > 0:17:21because I'm doing a Hungarian-themed routine.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Before she returns home,
0:17:27 > 0:17:30she's off for a family get-together at her grandparents'.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- Hello!- Szia!
0:17:40 > 0:17:42HE SPEAKS IN HUNGARIAN
0:17:42 > 0:17:44With Kloe now living in Nottingham,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46she doesn't see her family that often.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49So, she always makes the most of every visit.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54Yeah, every time we come here, we have, like, dinner together.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57And her grandma has made her favourite Hungarian dish.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00My grandma made this Hungarian pasta, which is like,
0:18:00 > 0:18:02just pasta with ham.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06The love of Hungarian food isn't
0:18:06 > 0:18:10the only tradition that runs in their family.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13My dad and both my grandads used to play hockey.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16And, like, most of my family is basically into ice hockey.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21Being related to a dedicated line of hockey players meant Kloe
0:18:21 > 0:18:24had to prove to them that she didn't want to play hockey too.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Before I started figure skating, my grandad didn't want me
0:18:27 > 0:18:31to do it because hockey players don't really like figure skaters.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35But then, when I did quite good in one of my competitions,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37I think - I think it was nationals, as well -
0:18:37 > 0:18:41so, that's a big competition, and, yeah, he came to watch
0:18:41 > 0:18:44and he was like, oh, my gosh, she's actually really good.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46And since then, he's like my biggest fan.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52With one final family selfie to take back to Nottingham,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55let's hope that Kloe's trip will inspire her to give
0:18:55 > 0:18:58a Hungarian performance of a lifetime.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Back in England, two skaters also hoping to give an unforgettable
0:19:09 > 0:19:12performance are Josh and Ellie.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16The day of their big competition in Bracknell has arrived.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20And they'll be stepping up to compete in a new, older category.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21It isn't going to be easy.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23When I'm competing at competition,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26it feels like someone's trying to dance on your stomach.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30You can feel butterflies. It's really nerve-racking.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31- Good luck!- Thank you!
0:19:31 > 0:19:34With their future as an ice-dance couple uncertain...
0:19:34 > 0:19:37He has to choose between ballet and skating.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41I'll have to choose what I think is right for me.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45..their first competition in the high level could also be their last.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49You can get marked on your elements.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51That's your step sequence,
0:19:51 > 0:19:55then your twizzles, your lift and your spin.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59If you fall over in a competition, you get a minus point.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Their stand-in coach, Woody,
0:20:01 > 0:20:05knows that competing in a new older category is going to be tough.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08They're moving up from basic novice to advanced novice
0:20:08 > 0:20:11and they've got, you know, more difficult elements.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Fingers crossed it can be a good one today. Are you ready, then?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Shall we go out there?
0:20:19 > 0:20:23New arrivals Frank and Claudia are a few years older than Jellie
0:20:23 > 0:20:26and are setting the standard.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- LOUDSPEAKER:- Total second score, 25 points, 4, 1.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32They're currently in first place.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Jellie's time has come.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38From Nottingham, please welcome Ellie and Joshua.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:20:41 > 0:20:43With 25.41 to beat, they can't make any mistakes.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49# I came here with a broken heart that no-one else could see
0:20:49 > 0:20:53# I drew a smile on my face to paper over me
0:20:53 > 0:20:56# But wounds heal when tears dry and cracks, they don't show... #
0:20:56 > 0:21:01Their counterbalance lift goes well. Things are looking good.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05# Let's go with the simplicity I feel like I've been missing me...#
0:21:05 > 0:21:07NEEDLE SCRATCHES RECORD
0:21:07 > 0:21:12Oh, no! Their first fall in the competition! That might cost them.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- Come on, guys!- The rest of their routine has to be perfect now.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22MUSIC: Don't Be So Hard On Yourself by Jess Glynn
0:21:28 > 0:21:30CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- LOUDSPEAKER:- Thank you, Ellie and Joshua.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37They've given it their all. But have they done enough?
0:21:37 > 0:21:41So, you both got, you got -2 for falls cos you both fell!
0:21:41 > 0:21:43He pulled me down! I was like, whoo!
0:21:43 > 0:21:45I... I dropped and I kicked her leg out from underneath...
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- And I went... - I tried to move them out of the way.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- LOUDSPEAKER:- Scores for Ellie and Joshua...
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Can they beat 25.41 points?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- LOUDSPEAKER:- Total second score, 26.03.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02And they're in first place.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04With only one couple still to skate,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07it looks like Jellie stand a chance of getting a trophy.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09But can they win it?
0:22:09 > 0:22:13The score was 26.73, but we had two deductions
0:22:13 > 0:22:16because we both fell over.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19But if we hadn't fallen over, we would have got higher marks.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Obviously, you know, it was all your fault that we fell over.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I'm joking!
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- I know it was my fault. Mostly. - Yeah, it was your fault!
0:22:30 > 0:22:32The final results are in.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35And in first place, from Nottingham,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Ellie and Joshua...- They've done it!
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Jellie have won first place.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47All their weeks of hard work have paid off.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56I think the free dance went quite well today. Apart from the fall.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58And there was a few mistakes.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00But apart from that, I think it went quite well.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04It was exciting to see them do the new dance.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08Neither Jo and I could have asked for anything
0:23:08 > 0:23:12better from either of them. What they scored was really, really good.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Maybe winning their first competition at this level
0:23:16 > 0:23:20just might convince Josh to pick skating over ballet.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33In Nottingham, Charlie's year group are about to find out who's
0:23:33 > 0:23:37won the skating scholarship.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40The competition is tough.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43There are 60 pupils and only two places to be won.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48I would love to have the scholarship.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51It would be great if I got picked to do lots more ice-skating.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54I would love to skate more if I could.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58About to head through to the assembly now. I'm really excited.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59We've got two scholarships,
0:23:59 > 0:24:02so it's going to be a really great assembly today.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06- Morning!- Who's been skating this half term?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Year 4, we are...
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- ALL:- Awesome!

0:24:13 > 0:24:18- Come on down, Mandy.- Mandy's been allowed out of the ice centre today!
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Right, two of you in Year 4 have got scholarships.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25I'll read the letter.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51APPLAUSE
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- And did I see that you've got your own ice skates, as well, now?- Yes.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Shall we see who the next one is for?- ALL:- Yes!
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Who could it be?
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Destiny!
0:25:03 > 0:25:06APPLAUSE
0:25:06 > 0:25:08There you go. Come and stand there.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12So, we have got two new potential stars of skating.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19- APPLAUSE - There we go.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Destiny and Ashley are the lucky two winners.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26I'm really happy!
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I thought someone older was going to get it.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31But I was surprised that I got it.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35- I think I'm going to go ice skating a lot more.- Me too.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38And we could probably see each other when we're going ice skating.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41I feel really special that I got this award.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45I'm very proud of you!
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Well done, Destiny and Ashley. Happy skating!
0:25:52 > 0:25:55After their first-place win at the Bracknell competition,
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Josh has called Ellie and asked her to meet him for a chat.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Thank you.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09I'm waiting for Josh. He told me to meet him here.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I'm a bit nervous.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17Josh wants to talk to her about their skating future.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Hi!
0:26:18 > 0:26:22- Hi, you all right? - Yeah, how are you?- Yes, thanks.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24SHE LAUGHS
0:26:25 > 0:26:29I've been took round a ballet school in London.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Erm, we had... I had, like, a tour round
0:26:31 > 0:26:34and I had looked at some of the classes.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37It looked really cool. And it's helped me make a decision.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39What is your decision?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Tell me, then.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Erm, I've decided to do another year of skating.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49Really?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52That's great, I've got you for another year!
0:26:54 > 0:26:56SHE LAUGHS
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Better go to training, then. - Yeah, let's go.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08I'm really happy with what Josh has told me today.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12It's really good news and I'm really happy about it.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Amazing! It looks like Jellie are still the rink's golden couple.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20On track to become the next Torvill and Dean.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22So happy you are staying!
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Cheers!
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Next time on Ice Stars...

0:27:31 > 0:27:33learn how to do the lifts for the first time.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Yes, yes, go down a bit more. Down a bit more.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38That was all right! Why did you fall?
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Figure skaters Kloe and Alexia baffle scientists
0:27:41 > 0:27:44when they appear on Operation Ouch.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48I've never seen anyone with zero response.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51And speed skater Izzy finds out
0:27:51 > 0:27:54if she's fast enough for the Olympic squad.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Really nervous. Just want to get out there now and do it.
