0:00:02 > 0:00:03Previously on Ice Stars...
0:00:05 > 0:00:07..Kloe's confidence took a knock
0:00:07 > 0:00:10when she fell at a major international competition.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Sometimes we have days when we fall on jumps that
0:00:13 > 0:00:15we can literally do in our dreams
0:00:15 > 0:00:18and that's when you just think, "What's happening?"
0:00:18 > 0:00:20- Destiny.- Destiny was awarded a scholarship
0:00:20 > 0:00:24giving her free lessons at the rink.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27And after spending the summer back home in Italy,
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Adriano returned with a surprise for Ella.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Who have you been skating with while you've been away, then?
0:00:32 > 0:00:34- Three girls.- Three girls?
0:00:34 > 0:00:35He's been cheating on you, Ella.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Coming up - Kloe is fighting to get back on top...
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I've worked with Kloe now for four years
0:01:08 > 0:01:12and I've never seen her come back from a competition so devastated.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14..Josh gets some shattering news...
0:01:14 > 0:01:15If I had to stop skating,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17it'd just be the end of the world, really, for me.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22..and Ella realises she'll need to fight to keep hold of her partner.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Could be the last time that me and Adriano skate together.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Nine-year-old Destiny is very proud of all her ice hockey pucks.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38She's collected them from the matches she's been to.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Normally, I would just go down and wait there at the barrier,
0:01:42 > 0:01:46so then I could just get a little one of these pucks.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Destiny!
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Since Destiny won her skating scholarship,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54she's been busy practising nonstop at the rink,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57determined to become an ice hockey player.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58I keep falling.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Like Bambi!
0:02:02 > 0:02:05At first, my mum wanted me to do figure skating, but I'm just, like,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07"No, that isn't my thing."
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Decided I want to go and play ice hockey.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14There's a lot of players that I want to be like from our local team.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18At the moment, playing for a team is only a pipe dream.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21It's something that she's always wanted to do,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24but I suppose until she actually gets down there
0:02:24 > 0:02:27and gets her kit on and gets on the ice,
0:02:27 > 0:02:28it's probably not going to be real.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Destiny's commitment to hockey is starting to get noticed at the rink,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37and word has reached Matt, the ice hockey coach.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Hello?- Vicky, it's Matt at the National Ice Centre.- Hello.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Hi, there. I've heard some great things about Destiny
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- and her ice skating.- Yeah.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50And we'd be really keen to invite her to the centre
0:02:50 > 0:02:53to train with the ice hockey team.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54OK, that's great.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- That's great.- All right, then, Vicky.- OK, then. Thank you.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- Thank you. Bye-bye.- Bye.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Do you know who Matt is?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- He's one of the coaches at the stadium.- Yeah.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07And they know that you're mad on ice hockey,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09and they want you to go down and a trial
0:03:09 > 0:03:11with one of their hockey teams.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- How do you feel?- Really excited!
0:03:14 > 0:03:16You might finally get to be a hockey player.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Yay!
0:03:20 > 0:03:25If I do actually play in a team as a net minder, I'll be so happy!
0:03:29 > 0:03:31As Destiny's finding out,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34making it as a skater requires 100% dedication.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41But if you have exceptional talent and are prepared to put in the hours
0:03:41 > 0:03:44of practice on the ice, you might just make it to the top.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52In about a week's time,
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Josh and Ellie have got the British Championships.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Probably the biggest competition of their season,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00so we just want to make sure they're as ready as they could possibly be,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02to go out there and give it their best.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04We're trying to get the lifts
0:04:04 > 0:04:06and the spins perfect,
0:04:06 > 0:04:08so we get the right scores.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Even the most experienced skaters like Jellie
0:04:11 > 0:04:13can struggle with their lifts,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15and if this happens at the British Championships,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18it could be a disaster.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20You have a certain amount of time to do your lifts in.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22When Ellie's feet lift off the ground,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24so as soon as her feet go back, you're allowed six seconds.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27If you don't do it in under that time,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29you get marks taken off.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33I have to get into it and then hold my position for three seconds
0:04:33 > 0:04:36and then get out of the lift, so it's quite fast.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42That time, you took ages to grab her on the way back up, didn't you?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44You were, like, "Oh-oh-oh!" for ages.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46We've been trying to get shorter,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48so we have to go out quicker.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52I just hope that I can hold it long enough without falling,
0:04:52 > 0:04:54or sliding off Josh's knees.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Boom!
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Just that last one, I was like, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!"
0:05:01 > 0:05:03All right. If you guys just perform,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05there's no reason you can't do really well there, yeah?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07To win a medal at the British Championships,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10these lifts will have to be perfect.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12But time is running out for our golden couple,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15as the competition is only a week away.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Despite only skating together for a few months,
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Adriano and Ella have also won a place at the British Championships.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31They're younger than Jellie, so will be in the category below.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33It's a much bigger competition
0:05:33 > 0:05:38than they've ever done before and it's really important that
0:05:38 > 0:05:41they're ready and they're prepared the best they can be.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44OK, guys, come in.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Let's start with the waltz then today.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50We find it quite hard to count and concentrate on all our leg lines
0:05:50 > 0:05:52and our hold at the same time.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Move when Adriano does.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Don't pull me.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Stretch your legs, stretch.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Stretch.- Don't.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Adriano... Adriano, could you...?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Yeah, but you're just squeezing my shoulder.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09And it don't work.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11We need to stay focused and don't argue,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13so we don't lose time with skating
0:06:13 > 0:06:17and that could affect our results in the British.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20You know it takes less muscles to just...
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- What are you doing? - She didn't say anything.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Yes, she did, because you have to do it in time.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- She went, "Do it in time." - Back, go back.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Not that much.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32It is.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37It's not just keeping in time that's the problem.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Adriano came back after the summer with one of his parents
0:06:41 > 0:06:44and his other parent has stayed in Italy, in Rome,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46with his two brothers,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48so the family's split now.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52With Adriano and his family missing each other so much,
0:06:52 > 0:06:55they have come to a brutal decision
0:06:55 > 0:06:57which could devastate his partner, Ella.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00If they do badly at the British,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I think that will cement Adriano's decision to go home,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06which will be heart-breaking for Ella,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09so it's important that they do well.
0:07:09 > 0:07:15So the decision is really hard to decide of staying here with Ella,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18or going back to Rome with my family.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22When you're out there, you're out there by yourselves and that's it,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25and it's down to you whether you want it or not
0:07:25 > 0:07:27and how badly you want it.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30It could be the last time that me and Adriano skate together,
0:07:30 > 0:07:33so we need to put 110% effort in.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36You've got to remember, when you're nervous as well
0:07:36 > 0:07:39and adrenaline's pumping and your heart's pounding fast,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42it makes you want to count quicker, but you've got to be smart
0:07:42 > 0:07:44and you've got to concentrate.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48If the British Championships goes badly,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51probably will go back to Italy.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55For Adriano to get a medal at his first British Championships would be
0:07:55 > 0:07:58unbelievable, but that's what his family need
0:07:58 > 0:08:00to justify the separation.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Across town, Kloe is doing all she can
0:08:09 > 0:08:11to stay confident for the season ahead.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Things for me at the moment
0:08:13 > 0:08:16are really good. Kind of busy.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20I moved from a school to college this year.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23It's closer to the rink as well,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26so it's easier for me to go to training
0:08:26 > 0:08:32and I can get a lot more practices, so I sometimes go in my lunch break.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Last season wasn't as successful as Kloe hoped.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38In her international competition in Luxembourg,
0:08:38 > 0:08:40she fell on both of her routines.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45But she's now determined to get her confidence back
0:08:45 > 0:08:47and is setting herself new targets.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53I just always try my best on practices and...
0:08:53 > 0:08:55practising triples,
0:08:55 > 0:08:59and my goal at the moment is...
0:08:59 > 0:09:04probably to land three to four triples until the end of next year.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08But not every training session can be successful,
0:09:08 > 0:09:11especially when you're trying to learn new moves
0:09:11 > 0:09:12as complicated as triple jumps.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16As an athlete and a skater,
0:09:16 > 0:09:22you definitely have really good days and days when you can't do anything.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Yeah, there are days when I try triples
0:09:25 > 0:09:27and I stay up on every single one,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29and there are days when I fall.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Keeping positive is really important for Kloe
0:09:33 > 0:09:36and coach Joy is helping her stay optimistic when things get tough.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41One of the coaches gave me this piece of paper,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44so that I can write down everything that I do
0:09:44 > 0:09:47and then I can read it back every week,
0:09:47 > 0:09:51so I can concentrate on the good things as well,
0:09:51 > 0:09:55because sometimes you only remember the bad things.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57It's called a positivity diary
0:09:57 > 0:10:00and it's a great way to stop a bad training session getting you down.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Someone else who needs to keep positive
0:10:11 > 0:10:13is Kloe's best friend, Josh.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16I went to a training camp and we had to do loads of fitness testing,
0:10:16 > 0:10:19and one of them involved, like, looking at our heart,
0:10:19 > 0:10:23and they realised that it wasn't quite the same as everyone else's.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26The way it was beating, it didn't sound the same as everyone else's.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I told Kloe about it, because I just wanted to see what her opinion was
0:10:29 > 0:10:31on it as well, because I tell her everything anyway.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33We tell each other everything.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Josh rang me and told me that he has something wrong with his heart
0:10:37 > 0:10:41and to hear that, it was such a shock for me,
0:10:41 > 0:10:43and I guess for him as well.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Any health issue to me that would jeopardise my skating,
0:10:46 > 0:10:47I tend to just ignore it completely,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50because I just don't want to even think about something like that.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I mean, it would just be the end of the world, really, for me,
0:10:53 > 0:10:57if I had to stop skating because of something that...
0:10:57 > 0:10:58I can't really control.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Josh's future on the ice hangs in the balance.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Tomorrow, he's going to hospital, where doctors will carry out tests
0:11:04 > 0:11:09on his heart. But, like Kloe, he's working hard on staying positive.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- Oh, do you want something to make you feel happy?- Yeah.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16What about some really nice, fresh pasta?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Yeah.- Right.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20How are you feeling about it?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Yeah, fine. I'm sure I'll be fine.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25As long as they don't find anything, it'll be fine.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27When you are skating and you're skating really hard,
0:11:27 > 0:11:31do you feel your heart pump harder than you think it should pump?
0:11:31 > 0:11:32It just feels like... Sometimes it, like...
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I feel, like, it's pumping really hard.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I don't feel, like, it hurts or anything like that.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- It's good that we're getting it checked.- Yes. There's no point
0:11:40 > 0:11:42stressing about it, really.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46As long as they don't say that I have to stop skating, then...
0:11:46 > 0:11:47it'll be all right, really.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51You know, it's very worrying,
0:11:51 > 0:11:55because if they turn round tomorrow and say he has a problem,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58he can't do competitive sport any more,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00everything changes tomorrow.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02That might be the end of his skating.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Today will not only be a big day for Josh, but also for Destiny,
0:12:17 > 0:12:20as she takes the first step towards realising her dream
0:12:20 > 0:12:22as an ice hockey player.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- What have you got to remember? - Speed.- And?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- Focus.- And?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- Practice.- And what else?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Listen.- OK.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Do as you're told.- I will.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36She'll be having her own tutorial with ice hockey coach Matt.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41I was really excited when my mum told me that Matt had invited me
0:12:41 > 0:12:43down here and it's finally here,
0:12:43 > 0:12:47so I can actually see if I'm any good at ice hockey.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I'm going to give it my best shot when I get on the ice.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53This is an ideal starting point for
0:12:53 > 0:12:56all hockey players that want to give it a shot.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59What we need to see now is just the basic skills,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01can she skate reasonably well?
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Are you worried?
0:13:02 > 0:13:06The only thing I would be worried about is if I was to go in goal.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Whacking pucks at my face!
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Don't worry about going on goal today, but the most important thing
0:13:11 > 0:13:13today, go in and enjoy yourself, all right?
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Step on slowly.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Try and just push the puck in front of you
0:13:19 > 0:13:20and skate with it at the side.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Just pushing it. That's it, just pushing it. Well done.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27OK.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30So we're simulating passing and receiving the puck, all right?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33So it goes like this. OK, are you ready?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Pass. Good.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38It's really rare to find girls playing hockey,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41but it's mainly boys who play it.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43OK, we're going to skate across the ice now this time,
0:13:43 > 0:13:44try and pass to each other,
0:13:44 > 0:13:47while we're skating. This is really tricky.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57I want to become a net minder in ice hockey,
0:13:57 > 0:14:00which is just basically a goalkeeper.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Show me how a goalie holds his stick.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Does he hold a like this?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Yeah, show me. Yeah?
0:14:07 > 0:14:08OK. So this is the catcher.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11This is the blocker and this is your goalie stick, all right?
0:14:11 > 0:14:16So this time, we're going to skate up, we're going to skate up here.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19We're going to skate backwards.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21So if you want to give that a go.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24She's got aspirations to play in goal
0:14:24 > 0:14:28and she's got nice forward to backward motion there as a goalie.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31OK. You've got to remember, when you're that goal-tender,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33that hand's got to be up. OK?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I'm possibly going to get pucks launched at me,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- but I don't really care. - OK, you ready?
0:14:38 > 0:14:39You're my goalie now, OK?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42You ready? Down there, near goal. You're going to stop this puck.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Oh, it went through the legs!
0:14:45 > 0:14:48My mum's been launching socks at me
0:14:48 > 0:14:50as preparation.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53You ready? Good. Good.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56I just want to play ice hockey.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I don't care whatever team I play for, I just want to play ice hockey.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- So how do you think that went? - I think that went really well.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05OK. What did you learn? What was your favourite bit?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08My favourite bit was acting like a goalie!
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Once you pretended to be that goalie
0:15:10 > 0:15:14and then you really did it on the ice, and that was great to see.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15You look like you're tired out.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- OK, that's good.- My feet are killing.- You did really well today.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Get your glove. Get your gloves, get your helmet. OK.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- Let's go.- Lots of equipment to carry.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26If I can even carry it all.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30It was so fun, but tiring!
0:15:30 > 0:15:32And it makes your feet ache.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36It made me think that ice hockey was really, really hard.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Yeah, but I just still want to do it,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42because I think I might make a pretty good net minder.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Can we just have sandwiches for tea?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Ah, my feet!- Other foot.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48My feet hurt.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50It'd be great to see her on the ice as a net minder
0:15:50 > 0:15:52and I think that's the way forward with her now.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54It just doesn't happen overnight.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Hard work and effort and determination,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58and that smile on her face.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00She wants to be a net minder, you can tell.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11To become an ice star, you don't just need encouragement on the ice.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Sometimes you need it off the ice, too.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Today, Josh is looking to best friend Kloe for that support.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I guess if you get told that something is wrong
0:16:20 > 0:16:21with your heart...
0:16:21 > 0:16:25and we skate so much and train so much that we would think that
0:16:25 > 0:16:27we would have to stop.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Josh thought that this might be the end of his skating
0:16:31 > 0:16:34and that's horrible, and obviously I thought that as well,
0:16:34 > 0:16:35so it wasn't nice.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Josh is going to the hospital with his parents
0:16:39 > 0:16:42for the investigation into his heart.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44The results of the test will decide if it's safe for this
0:16:44 > 0:16:47British champion to carry on skating.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I've never been to the hospital before for, like, anything really,
0:16:49 > 0:16:52so it was really nerve-racking for me and I think my parents could tell
0:16:52 > 0:16:55as well. I don't really like things like that, going to the hospital,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57because you want to be as fit as you can all the time.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00So, an elite skater.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- Yes.- Wow, fantastic.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04You're having annual checks.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08You had one recently where they detected a heart murmur.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10So that's why you've come to see me today.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12So, let's have a look at you on the couch.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- How long have you been skating for? - Eight years.- Have you?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26It's just a very, very soft murmur.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I think we should get an ECG done today.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31When I first went to have the ECG,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34I was a bit nervous because I'd never had one done before.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35ECG's absolutely fine.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38For completion, we need to do a scan.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41But when he was like, "Yeah, we need to have some more tests done
0:17:41 > 0:17:44"on you," I was kind of like, "Oh, maybe there is something wrong."
0:17:44 > 0:17:46And you start to get that bit of doubt in your mind.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49We haven't found anything particularly to explain the murmur.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52No, so we haven't found anything structurally wrong with the heart,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- really.- Fantastic.- That's really good news.- Well, thank you for that.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- OK.- Makes us feel a lot better. Feel happy?- Yeah.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Is it OK if I continue to skate as I am?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I can't see a reason not for you to carry on.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.- Bye now.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Doctor said that everything's OK, so I'm really happy that I can
0:18:10 > 0:18:13continue training as normal and can, like, go back to training without
0:18:13 > 0:18:16any worries in my mind that it might be something wrong.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19And skating BFF Kloe is clearly pleased to have her training
0:18:19 > 0:18:21partner back again.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24We train together every day and we help each other.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26I just think that's so nice and I love that.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28After the all-clear from the doctor,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Josh wastes no time getting back on the ice.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Let's cook!
0:18:42 > 0:18:44After a hard session on the ice,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Adriano is cooking up a feast with his dad.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52His mum has gone back to Rome to look after his brothers.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55When I came back, I came with my mum.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59And now we exchanged, so now my dad is here.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02But the family do manage to catch up with each other on Skype.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05So now, are we Skyping...?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07While we're cooking.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- Fine.- Yes.- Let's Skype.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Hello.- Hello! How are you?
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- 'Are you good?' - Yeah, I'm good.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17What are you doing, Patricio?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- 'Ice rink.'- Ice rink, all right. Right.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24DAD SPEAKS ITALIAN
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Hey!
0:19:27 > 0:19:29So, normally, we do it once a week
0:19:29 > 0:19:34and we Skype them and talk about the things that are happening there
0:19:34 > 0:19:36in Rome and here in Nottingham.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Ciao!
0:19:37 > 0:19:42Then it makes me feel a little sad that I'm not with them.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Adriano's family have come to a decision.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52If he and Ella win a medal at the British Championships,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54he can stay on in Nottingham
0:19:54 > 0:19:58and follow his dream of becoming an Olympic gold winner,
0:19:58 > 0:20:02but this will mean leaving everyone he loves back home in Italy.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05It's hard to choose skating with Ella or being at home.
0:20:05 > 0:20:12In one way, skates again with Ella and try to win the British - good.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16And the bad way is leaving my family in Italy.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19The British Championship
0:20:19 > 0:20:22is important to finish the job.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I want to win the British ice dance competition,
0:20:27 > 0:20:30because the splitting of my family was worth it.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33So to justify that sacrifice,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36he and Ella need to take a spot on the podium.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Do you have a guess where you're going to come?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Where do you want to come?
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Adriano will say he wants to win it.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47If we maybe, like, competed tomorrow,
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I think we would come, like, second or third, maybe.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Yeah? To think, if you could podium at your first British Championships,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- I think that's pretty amazing, don't you?- Yeah.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Yeah. Big decisions for Adriano, whether he's going to stay or not.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Tough decisions, I think, for him.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06What is your gut feeling? He'll stay, do you think he'll go?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I'm not sure, but at the moment, he seems, like, really happy.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12I'm getting the feeling that he's going to stay,
0:21:12 > 0:21:15but obviously he's split with his family.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Half his family are in Italy.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- What if that was you? - I would hate it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Yeah.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I can't have it in my head that he's going to leave,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25because that would just put me down.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30It's not long before the championships,
0:21:30 > 0:21:33when we'll find out if our ice stars have a future together
0:21:33 > 0:21:36or if they'll be forced to say goodbye.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Life for our ice stars can be tough, and no-one knows that better
0:21:43 > 0:21:46right now than figure skaters Kloe and Josh.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50I think it was hard for both me and Kloe when we heard that she hadn't
0:21:50 > 0:21:53skated well. When you come from such a difficult situation,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55you've just kind of got to look past it
0:21:55 > 0:21:58and just look at all the positives you can take from the sport.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01It's not just Josh who's been helping Kloe get back on track.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Coach Joy has been pushing her too.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08I came to the rink today to catch up with Joy on the skating diary that
0:22:08 > 0:22:13she gave me and hopefully she'll like the things that I wrote on it,
0:22:13 > 0:22:15and I feel like it really helped me.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I've worked with Kloe now four years
0:22:18 > 0:22:22and I've never seen her come back from a competition so devastated.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25She's fresh into the junior category and, you know,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28there's a lot of skaters have been in there many years.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29When she went into Novices,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32she was always in the top three of all the competitions
0:22:32 > 0:22:33and she won Novices.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38We can't expect to go into the next category and suddenly, you know,
0:22:38 > 0:22:39come in the top three.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41What I've asked Kloe to do...
0:22:41 > 0:22:43and it's purely and simply for her
0:22:43 > 0:22:47to write down how she feels after each session.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49In figure skating,
0:22:49 > 0:22:53the mental side of the sport is just as important as the physical,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55if not more important.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57- You OK?- Yeah.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02Come on then, let's have a look, see what you've done. Mm-hm.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03You have been working hard.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- Yeah.- What did you find...
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- which helped you?- I wrote all the, like, positive things down,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13so it kind of, like, made me more confident, because...
0:23:13 > 0:23:17And did you honestly, as soon as you got off the ice, did you fill it in
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- as you got off?- Yeah.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21I think what a lot of people, not just yourself,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23tend to do is you sort of, like,
0:23:23 > 0:23:26you know, zoom in on the negative things.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- Yeah.- And then you're feeling bad with yourself
0:23:29 > 0:23:31so that nothing positive gets done.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33So this is really, really good.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Here it was, like, axle, step off,
0:23:35 > 0:23:38and now, in the last week, I did four triples in one practice.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40This is literally for you.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- Yeah.- And, you know, if you hadn't have wrote this down,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47you would never have looked back four weeks ago
0:23:47 > 0:23:51and you've already found out that now you're landing the triples.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54You know, I'm really pleased with the work that you've done.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Make sure that you do it next month as well.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57- Yeah.- Well done, Kloe.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Thank you.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Skating requires a lot of mental, like,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05you need to be really strong mentally.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08And when you have a bad competition like I did,
0:24:08 > 0:24:09it just kind of puts you down,
0:24:09 > 0:24:13so you'll need to have a chat with someone, or do something like this.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16That's why I'm really happy that Joy started this with me.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28To help boost Kloe's confidence, Josh has come up with his own plan.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35As the current British champion, he's been invited to perform
0:24:35 > 0:24:37a routine of his choice at a nearby gala.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44And to show Kloe how special she is, he has a little surprise in store.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46I knew that I wanted to make it special. Not just for me, but
0:24:46 > 0:24:49I needed something to help Kloe and kind of help her feel more confident
0:24:49 > 0:24:52about her skating after, obviously, her not skating her best.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I knew that I wanted to do something a bit different,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59so we had a bit of a special idea planned for everyone
0:24:59 > 0:25:00and hopefully they were going to enjoy it.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05MUSIC: Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars
0:25:37 > 0:25:41I started the routine off by myself and, like, midway through,
0:25:41 > 0:25:42I went over to the barrier
0:25:42 > 0:25:44and that's when the spotlight hit on Kloe.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47MUSIC: I Gotta Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I was just sat on the barrier!
0:26:14 > 0:26:17I think, like, when we do galas on our own, it's still fun.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19But we did it together
0:26:19 > 0:26:22and that was the first time we've ever done a gala, like, together.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24That was so much fun!
0:26:25 > 0:26:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:26:55 > 0:26:57CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:01 > 0:27:05It's so much fun to just be, like, on the ice and have fun,
0:27:05 > 0:27:08and not concentrating on landing a jump or not.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12We got to do the routine that we wanted to do, so it was really good.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13That was beautiful,
0:27:13 > 0:27:16and just shows that when you have a friend to help get through the bad
0:27:16 > 0:27:20times, it's so much easier to come out the other side.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Next time on Ice Stars -
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Ella finds out if Adriano is staying or going home...
0:27:29 > 0:27:33His face was kind of really disappointed,
0:27:33 > 0:27:35so I was a bit worried.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39..the race is on to see if Charlie and Freddie
0:27:39 > 0:27:41are ready to represent their country...
0:27:41 > 0:27:43I could have gone faster.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45..and Asiah sets her sights on performing
0:27:45 > 0:27:49at the British Championships with her new team.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52I need to be better than everyone to make the coaches pick me.
