Rivals to beat. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
Worldwide travel. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
And glory. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
A life on ice has its ups... | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
I'm the junior national champion. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
I can't believe I'm British champion. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
..and its downs. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:38 | |
-Like Bambi! -Emotions can run high. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
I feel like I'm wasting my time when I skate like this. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
But to make it as an ice star... | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
..you have to pick yourself up and carry on. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
Because one day | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
might just be YOUR day. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:57 | |
Ella performs her first solo skate to the public. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
-ANNOUNCER: -Get ready to watch and be amazed. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
Josh and Chloe pull out all their tricks to get noticed by a real-life | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
-prince. -I don't want to fall right in front of the prince, you know? | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
-Not cool. -And... | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
Someone very special returning back to the ice, | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
I'm really excited to see her. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
At the National Ice Centre in Nottingham, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
life on the ice is never straightforward. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
Come on. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
It takes hours and hours of practice to get things right. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
You've got to push. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
People are getting sloppy. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
And for some, it can all become too much. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
For years, ice dancers Josh and Ellie, or Jellie, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
were known as the centre's golden couple. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
But last season news broke that sent shockwaves around the rink. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:16 | |
Ellie decided to stop skating completely. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
Such a shame, you were so good. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
Ellie was finding all the hours on the ice too much. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
I just felt heavy and I couldn't do anything. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
I was just so tired. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
And as the season ended, Josh was left without a partner, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
as Ellie began a new life away from the ice. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
I'm going to miss Ellie because she was, like, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
one of my really close friends. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
It's been six months since then and things are looking up. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
Josh's search for a new partner is in full swing. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
But hang on a minute... | 0:02:50 | 0:02:51 | |
Someone very special is returning back to the ice, | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
I'm really excited to see her. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
It's Ellie, she's back at the rink! | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
I didn't think I was going to come back at all, to be honest. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
I thought that I wanted to, like, go out with my friends more, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
but then I realised, | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
skating is my life, so... | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
It's really nice to have Ellie back. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
We all missed her. She's just easing into it right now. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
-Nice gloves, Ellie. -Thanks! | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
Yeah, it's really nice to be back and seeing everyone. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
We're all really happy you're back and skating again, it's so nice to see you. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
I was going too slow. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
I haven't spun that fast in ages. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
It feels, like, really nice, | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
because I used to, like, just push along the floor at home. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:04 | |
Skating solo is a whole new experience for Ellie. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
Ah! My back! | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
I'm a little bit stiff, but it's really fun to do it again. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
I do miss skating with Josh, | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
but at the moment I just want to get through this next season and not to | 0:04:21 | 0:04:26 | |
worry about a partnership. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:27 | |
I've skated here most of my life, and I know everyone. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
And they're like my family. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
I just feel like I'm at home. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:37 | |
When Ellie split with Josh, | 0:04:39 | 0:04:40 | |
she went back to live at home, over an hour away, | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
which meant she didn't get to see ice friends like Ella. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:48 | |
Now she's back and staying closer with her gran, | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
the girls have got loads to catch up on. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
-Hi! -Hi, are you all right? | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
Yes, thanks, are you? | 0:04:55 | 0:04:56 | |
I'm good, thank you. What you been doing? | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
I have a science test. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
But I'm not good at science! | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
I've got my GCSEs next year. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
Oh, yeah. Sports science, and PE and geography. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:11 | |
I'm really bad at geography, I thought China was in America! | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
You thought China was in America?! | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:05:17 | 0:05:18 | |
-Hi. -Hello. -Thank you. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
-Thank you. -What was it like not skating? | 0:05:22 | 0:05:26 | |
It was really weird not skating, I had nothing to do. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
My day was literally, wake up, get on the bus to school, eat tea, | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
go on my phone, then go to bed. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:36 | |
How boring is that? | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
It was really weird, like, seeing all of you on social media, like, | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
all together, and I was just sat at home. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
It was really weird not having you at the rink. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
Last season, Ella's own partner went home to Italy. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
But that's not going to hold her back this year. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
I'm going to do a season of solo. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
I was just ready to have a new start. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
Solo is good, though, | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
because you can do what you want to do and not worry about what your | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
partner wants to do. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
All the attention is on you, | 0:06:06 | 0:06:07 | |
and you don't have to worry about anyone else. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
Ella, I really missed you because you're like my family. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
-Yeah. -And I've known you for so long. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
It's so good to see these friends back together again. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
-Bye! -Bye. -See you. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
-See you. -But, right now, the ice is calling. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
Ella's new solo career is kicking off with a bang. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
She's been asked to star at the opening of the pop-up rink in Sunderland, | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
which Jellie went to last year. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:39 | |
But there is one slight drawback. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
It's really soon and I haven't had as long to practise a routine | 0:06:44 | 0:06:49 | |
and make a routine as I normally would. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
We've literally got a week, so we need to get moving quite quickly with it. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:59 | |
I think it will be a really good opportunity for you to get out there | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
by yourself, so you really need to make sure that you sell it, | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
because all eyes are going to be on you. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
Yeah, definitely. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
Can you do for me, up on your toes, | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
do three turn and then do a run on the toes? | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
Back cross. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
Pivot, hold position, | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
up and up, cross. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
-I forgot my arms. -If you forget any of these arms, it's not a problem, | 0:07:29 | 0:07:33 | |
just make it up on the day. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
It's very different doing a solo performance to having a partner to | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
skate with - you haven't got that other person to rely on, | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
she needs to make all her moves a lot bigger. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
That's it. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
Maybe not do it like that! | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
I always go wrong on that spin, I don't know why. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
In the spin, I obviously don't want that to happen in Sunderland because | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
it would be a bit embarrassing if I just sit there on the floor. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
Our ice stars become used to performing in front of hundreds of people, | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
but today it is all about a very special audience of one. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
Across the rink, news is breaking that Prince Harry is about to visit. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:40 | |
The prince is coming to meet all of the young trainee coaches. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
Minutes before their training, | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
figure skaters Josh and Kloe have just heard the news. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
Have you actually ever met a real prince before? | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
No. When would I meet a prince? | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
It's not just like an everyday thing, is it? | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
You know, I'm going to act really cool with him, I'm going to be like, | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
"Yo, Harry. Come take a selfie with me." | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
'We wanted to get a selfie with Prince Harry really badly,' | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
so we were like, "Are we going to get the selfie?" | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
Do you think you're looking for your Prince Charming? | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
No. I don't think so! | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
Prince Harry will be in the building in just a few hours' time. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
And everyone at the rink needs to be ready, | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
just in case they are spotted. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
So, guys, as you know, we will have a very special guest, | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
he will come and see what the international ice centre do, OK? | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
Knowing that Prince Harry was coming to the ice rink, | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
we obviously wanted to do, like, the best skating we can. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
Push, please, I need more pressure there. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
Pushing from the right to the left. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
After the... Stand up. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
Joshy? OK? | 0:10:04 | 0:10:05 | |
Down, up! But, how short and how long make your jump good and bad. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:12 | |
Listening now, please. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
I am still not happy with your skating, still - | 0:10:17 | 0:10:22 | |
skating quality not good. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
The pair might be used to competing at a top level, | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
but impressing a prince is going to be a totally new experience. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:34 | |
Spending so much time together | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
means our skaters form super-strong friendships. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
No, Josh! | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
She may no longer be skating with Josh, | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
but now that Ellie's close by again, | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
she wants to make sure they both stay friends. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
We've always been friends, | 0:11:00 | 0:11:01 | |
and we always will be, even if we are not skating together. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
Today is Josh's 16th birthday. We always give presents to each other, | 0:11:07 | 0:11:12 | |
and I think Josh is going to like the presents I have chosen for him. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
Me and Josh started skating together four years ago. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
So, we've done eight birthdays together. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
I'm feeling excited about going to see Josh today, | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
because I haven't seen him in a while. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
I don't get to see her that often, | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
so it would be nice to see her again. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
We're going quad biking later. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
It's going to be exciting. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:41 | |
Jellie have wanted to go quad biking together for ages, | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
but when they were skating, there was never the time. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
You miss her? | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
Yeah. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
Sent me the poo emojis. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
I think this was supposed to be ice cream, but... | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
..sent him one back. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
"I'm on..." She is on her way. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
I don't think we'll be talking about skating today, just have fun. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:19 | |
Look how muddy it is. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
This is where we go on the quad bike. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:22 | |
I don't like getting mud in my hair. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
In my fingernails or on my clothes. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
I just don't like mud at all. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
And you don't think you are going to get muddy?! | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
-Probably will. -I think you will! | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
Hmm, we will have to wait and see. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
Because back at the rink, | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
the people of Nottingham are gathering for the royal arrival. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
-What we are doing? -Making sure we get a good view. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
Front row, please. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:47 | |
If there's one thing we get from today, it is going to be a selfie. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:59 | |
What time is it? Prince Harry time. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
Maybe we should rehearse how we say hello. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
OK, right. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:06 | |
-Prince... -Do it again. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
Prince Harry! Hi! | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
-That was quite good, I quite like that one. -OK. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
Prince Harry... | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
-Loved it. -OK, I will do that. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:17 | |
-That was great. -Prince Harry! | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
I'm waiting for you! | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
Oh, I see him. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
I can't see anything, but it's so cool. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
It's blocking my shot. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
That's the best picture ever. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
-I know. -Prince Harry will be ringside any minute, | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
and Josh and Kloe need to get there quick | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
if they are going to grab his attention. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
KNOCK AT DOOR | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
Come in. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:49 | |
-Joshua. -Yo. -Now we get to see him on the ice, but we have to rush. -Yeah. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:56 | |
He's the most important person we have ever skated for, | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
and I think we all just wanted to skate our best and show him what we | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
-can do. -I was really excited. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
I was like, "I got this." | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
They've secured a spot on the ice - the problem is, | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
it's in the corner at the totally opposite end to Prince Harry. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
We actually got on the ice and we realised that we were basically at | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
the other end of the rink to him. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
We kind of were a bit like, "Oh, this is not what we had in mind." | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
Prince Harry's main focus was, like, cute little kids on there doing, | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
like, races. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
Kloe was full-on bossing those spins. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
I thought she was going to drill through the ice. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
She was like... Shhhh... | 0:14:41 | 0:14:42 | |
I've never seen Josh skate so well. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
You need speed for a jump, and he literally just did it. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
-Pulled it out of nowhere. -Killed it. -With no sign yet that the prince | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
has even noticed the skaters at the far side of the rink, | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
Josh and Kloe have to take some drastic measures. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
Prince Harry is, like, | 0:15:01 | 0:15:02 | |
"Oh, nothing's happening." | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
-"Harry!" -No, can't see anything. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
"It's all good. All clear on that end." | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
And I'm, like, "Harry!" | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
He was whisked away, never to be seen again. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
I just seen a glimpse of those triples and then, like, boom. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
I made eye contact with Prince Harry after one of my spins | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
and I was, like, "That's it, I got it." | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
Did you manage to get any good pictures? | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
No, I have none. I literally got a video of a cameraman running. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:45 | |
That's all I got. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:46 | |
Literally. No Prince Harry. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
Prince Harry - selfie fail or selfie yay? | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
BOTH: Selfie fail. | 0:15:58 | 0:15:59 | |
150 miles away in Sunderland... | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
..Ella, her mum, and coach Sophie are rushing to get ready for her | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
first skate as a solo dancer. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
With Ella due at the opening of the pop-up rink shortly... | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
..there's still lots to do. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
Did you decide what dress you are wearing? | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
I think the pink one. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
But you said the blue one. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
I agree, I think the pink one. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
It will fit best with the music. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
You're right, I do like the pink one on you, to be honest. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
Wonderful. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
It's much shorter than it was last year. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
I think you've grown since last year, that's all. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
I always do my own hair because Mum pulls too hard and then I scream. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:02 | |
Oh, I dropped all the pins all over the floor! | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
It's OK, we will pick them all up, don't worry, you carry on. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
I was laughing too much, so then I kind of forgot where I was | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
and now I have to do it again. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
I'm blaming it on Mum. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
Ella's only had days to make up her routine, | 0:17:24 | 0:17:28 | |
and the worry of getting it wrong is setting in. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
Normally, it takes me about a month. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
My biggest fear about learning a new routine in such short time | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
was forgetting it on the day. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
It won't come out. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
I'm not very good at thinking of something on the spot. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
This is the last bit of doing my make-up. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
OK, ready. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
While Ella starts to mentally prepare for her big performance... | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
..Ellie is also a bit anxious, as she hasn't seen Josh in months. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:05 | |
I was really nervous. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
Me and Josh still speak to each other, but it's not that often. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:14 | |
-Hi. -Hi. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:15 | |
-Happy birthday. -Thanks. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
-What did you get? -Just, like, vouchers. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
-What for? -My auntie got one, | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
got me one for Tesco. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
Tesco?! | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
Your Tesco voucher! | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
Look at your socks! | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
-That's for you. -Oh, thanks. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
So... | 0:18:49 | 0:18:50 | |
-Right, let's go and have a look at the bikes. -I think I rock this look. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:55 | |
I'm not going to lie. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:59 | |
They don't even fit me, look at that. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
I think I look pretty good. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
Josh hasn't grown up any more than when he did when he was ten. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:11 | |
He just likes joking about everything. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
I think I'm going to be better at quad bikes. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
-Me. -Me. I'm going to be better. -Why are you lying? -What do you mean? | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
Why are you lying? 'And he's always annoying me.' | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
-Handshake. -Pretty sure that's a headbutt. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:26 | |
But we make each other laugh. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
Excellent. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
When I did a couple of laps around, | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
I got faster and faster and I was catching up to Josh. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:44 | |
Good girl, keep going. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:08 | |
-Excellent. Did you enjoy that? -Yeah. Thanks. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
Absolutely good. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
Ellie, it is all in your hair. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:23 | |
-Oh! Is it actually? -Yeah. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
-Way at the back? -Yeah. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:27 | |
Quite a lot. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
OK. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
I have mud on my hands, my forehead, my feet, my hair. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:39 | |
Everywhere. It's even inside my socks, I can feel it. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
It was really fun though. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
I think Ellie crashed a couple of times. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
I was just laughing, I thought it was quite funny. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
-Here you go. -Thanks. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
Open them now. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
When Ellie stopped skating, she had so much pressure on her, | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
I just tried to, like, take her mind off of it. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
-Did you wrap these? -Yeah. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
I can't wrap... | 0:21:02 | 0:21:03 | |
Sellotape round the whole thing. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
I know. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
A good friend, to me, is being there for you when you need them. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:11 | |
Moustache straws. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:12 | |
-Thanks. -It's all right. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:15 | |
Read the back. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:18 | |
Thank you. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
OK. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
'I can be myself around Josh, we make each other laugh, | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
'I think I annoy him as well. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
'But, I'm just funny, so...' | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
-It's you! -I was going to say it's you. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
It was really fun. Even though we are not skating together, | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
our friendship's just the same. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
You know it takes 19 and a half hours | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
to watch all of the Harry Potters. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:48 | |
We will always be close friends because we've, like, | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
known each other for, like, ages. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
And we're just like brother and sister. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
I think one of the main things that makes a good friend is just being | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
able to not only trust each other but just being there for each other | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
-all the time. -The thing that makes friends good | 0:22:04 | 0:22:08 | |
is that they can skate and they can do flips on the trampoline. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:13 | |
Definitely me! | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
We fall out constantly, like sisters do. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
But, when we need each other, we are the first people we call. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
At the opening of the rink in Sunderland, the lights are on. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:33 | |
The ice is waiting, | 0:22:33 | 0:22:34 | |
and a huge crowd gathers to see Ella's first solo performance. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
When we arrived, | 0:22:40 | 0:22:41 | |
there was already quite a few people standing around the rink. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
I was very nervous. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
I've never done a gala by myself before. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
Unlike when Jellie were here last year, and could rely on each other, | 0:22:53 | 0:22:57 | |
tonight, Ella will be alone, | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
with the added pressure of having had just days to learn her routine. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
When I was practising, I was thinking about, | 0:23:08 | 0:23:12 | |
if I forgot my routine, what I would do. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
She's just forgotten some of her programme. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
I was most nervous about going the wrong way, | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
because then I'd probably get stuck on the barriers. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
So you need to imagine that I'm stood there. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
You come out of your pivot and you do a spiral around here and then you | 0:23:36 | 0:23:40 | |
need to cross over to this barrier and then skate across the top. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:45 | |
She's getting a little bit confused about where she is on the ice. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:49 | |
She's then getting herself confused over her steps. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
After a stressful practice, | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
Ella picks up a video message sent from Ellie, | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
who may have spent the day with Josh, | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
but hasn't forgotten her other friend. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
Hi, Ella, I heard you're going to open the outdoor rink in Sunderland, | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
you will love it there. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:11 | |
Just remember, the rink is a lot smaller than home, | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
so, don't push out too much, because you will have no room. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
Good luck, have a good time, bye, love you lots. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:21 | |
It was really nice to get a message from Ellie saying good luck | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
and telling me not to push as much. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
And it's really nice to get a message. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
We are going to launch the ice-skating on the rink right now. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
We have some fabulous ice skaters. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
With the gala in full swing, | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
it is just seconds until Ella takes centre stage. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
We are going to be continuing the show with somebody that you will | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
have seen from the telly, so get ready to watch and be amazed, | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
and please, put your hands together for Ella. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:02 | |
CHEERING | 0:25:02 | 0:25:03 | |
When I got into my starting position, | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
it felt like ages before the music started. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:12 | |
All of the nerves were just rushing through me. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |

Ella from CBBC, wasn't she amazing? | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
I think it went really, really well. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
I got a massive applause. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
I didn't see one person that wasn't smiling. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
I really enjoyed doing the solo dance. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
Ella, can I get my photo taken with you, please? | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
Yeah. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:25 | |
Everybody looking at me and only me. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
Going solo is the right choice for me, | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
and I am definitely going to carry on doing it. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:37 | |
HE SHRIEKS | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
Speed skaters Charlie and Freddie | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
take on a mega-competition road trip. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
-Party time! -There was traffic. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
Big changes to The Icicles sync routine... | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
There wasn't one couple that were in sync. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
..leave them battling with a new routine. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
And I was so stressed out about it. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:57 | |
How are we going to make this work? | 0:27:57 | 0:27:58 | |
And a new arrival all the way from Russia has everyone talking. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
I didn't even realise how young she was, as well. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 |
