0:00:02 > 0:00:04Previously on Ice Stars...

0:00:06 > 0:00:09Ellie decided to stop skating completely.

0:00:09 > 0:00:12It's a very, very sad situation for us all.

0:00:13 > 0:00:15It was a bit of a shock.

0:00:15 > 0:00:17Your fancy dance stuff don't weigh with me.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23So are you looking forward to going on hockey?

0:00:23 > 0:00:26I hear it's, like, a really good experience to do.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29In Canada, every basketball court gets frozen over.

0:00:29 > 0:00:30It's really good. I like it.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32It's really cold, though.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34It's like minus 11.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Josh gets back on the ice with his new dance partner.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hockey player Rais receives an offer he can't refuse.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02It was a dream come true, really.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06OK, let's do this.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09And Josh and Kloe decide it's about time they learned to cook for

0:01:09 > 0:01:12- themselves.- I think it's done.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14I don't know. I need my mum here.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23- ALL:- One, two, three.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26One of the best things about being an ice star is sharing your ice life

0:01:26 > 0:01:30with team-mates, friends, and partners.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37But even the best relationships don't always last forever.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41And that's something ice dancer Josh is having to face up to after

0:01:41 > 0:01:43splitting with Ellie last year.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46I was really upset because we've

0:01:46 > 0:01:48obviously been skating together for

0:01:48 > 0:01:51four and a half years and we've done lots of competitions.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58I didn't really know what was going to happen at the end of last season.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59So I was on my own for a while.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04At first, I found it quite hard,

0:02:04 > 0:02:08because I was upset and it just made me think about Ellie.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12But Josh picked himself up and has treated the new season as a fresh

0:02:12 > 0:02:16- start.- This season, I've got a new partner from Sheffield,

0:02:16 > 0:02:18and she's called Lucy.

0:02:30 > 0:02:35My long-term dream is to win world

0:02:35 > 0:02:38and Olympics with a partner to become

0:02:38 > 0:02:41the new era of ice dance.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Lucy's a fantastic skater.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45She's very, very talented.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49When you watch her skate, within a second you know that she's a dancer.

0:02:49 > 0:02:54I tried out with a couple of people and me and Lucy were a good match.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56I've seen him at competitions.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01But being good at skating isn't always enough.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04A winning couple need great chemistry too.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Sorry.

0:03:09 > 0:03:14The chemistry between a couple, it's not something that you can teach.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20It's nice to see her with a new partner

0:03:20 > 0:03:24because he's got ambitions to skate at the Olympics.

0:03:25 > 0:03:29But it took Josh and Ellie years to get to know each other

0:03:29 > 0:03:30and to be together.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Me and Josh are still getting to know each other and chat to each

0:03:34 > 0:03:36other and start conversations.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38- You had breakfast?- No.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41I had, like,

0:03:41 > 0:03:43two mouthfuls of porridge.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45I could have eaten more, but I didn't want to.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Josh and Lucy have very little time to find the chemistry everyone is

0:03:51 > 0:03:54talking about before they star at a special gala

0:03:54 > 0:03:56in front of a huge audience.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00In a way, it's kind of like starting again.

0:04:02 > 0:04:03One, two, three.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05One, two, three.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07But it's really hard because you have to get used to the

0:04:07 > 0:04:09way each other skate.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13You can't grab on with both hands and twizzle.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18At the gala in Sutton, all eyes will be on Josh and his new partner,

0:04:18 > 0:04:20so nothing can go wrong.

0:04:20 > 0:04:24The gala is to see what people think of us as a team.

0:04:24 > 0:04:25All the seats were sold out.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27We want them to remember us for skating well.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Rise and then press, push her ahead.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Stay on his hip.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38As far as their skating goes, they look like a great match.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49What would you say about me?

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Er, small.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Blonde.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55And is wearing my gloves.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Only just now.- Now all Jucy have to do is find the kind of chemistry

0:04:59 > 0:05:01they'll need to be a winning couple.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03It's all about getting to know each other,

0:05:03 > 0:05:06spending some time with each other at the rink.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08- Does that sound OK?- Yeah.

0:05:08 > 0:05:09All right, see you later.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11See you later. Thank you.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Two ice stars who know all about

0:05:18 > 0:05:21chemistry are figure skaters Josh and Kloe.

0:05:21 > 0:05:22Look at that!

0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Take it off.- They're best friends off the ice...

0:05:27 > 0:05:30There's a cat in the bag!

0:05:30 > 0:05:31..and on.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39With the start of a busy season,

0:05:39 > 0:05:40they know they're going to have to

0:05:40 > 0:05:43work harder than ever to keep pushing ahead.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46The standard of our categories has really stepped up a gear.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48We've just got to give it everything.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51I just have really high expectations for myself this season.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54I want to go and skate like I know I can.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56In figure skating, every, like,

0:05:56 > 0:05:59little thing could make such a big difference.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01When I'm here, I want to make it count.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04I think realising that every session we have...

0:06:04 > 0:06:07- It really does count.- Does make a difference.- Every minute.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09This season, I want to do bigger

0:06:09 > 0:06:13competitions and just to kind of do more than I've ever done before.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16So I decided to change a lot of things.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19I've also, like, changed my eating, so I eat healthier.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Yeah. And now, like, we're doing it together,

0:06:22 > 0:06:24it's so much easier that we're both, like...

0:06:24 > 0:06:26We go to the gym more.

0:06:26 > 0:06:30- Changes everything.- Yeah, as long as we do our best.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32I think we've achieved something in itself.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Obviously, we want a medal too, but...

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Obviously!

0:06:36 > 0:06:38We're going to smash it this season.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40We really are.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44In just a week, the figure skaters

0:06:44 > 0:06:46will be taking on a major international

0:06:46 > 0:06:49competition in Riga in Latvia.

0:06:49 > 0:06:54But for Kloe, her new plan has already suffered a setback.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57My session in the morning, it didn't go so well, so I'm a bit stressed.

0:06:57 > 0:07:02She got herself so upset this morning because she was really,

0:07:02 > 0:07:04really struggling to get the jumps out.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07She has been landing them, and now

0:07:07 > 0:07:09we're getting close to going to Riga,

0:07:09 > 0:07:11I think she's panicking.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15I really want to skate good,

0:07:15 > 0:07:19just so my confidence is high before we fly.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Kloe, come here.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30All right, so a really lovely face, smile.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Are you in a better mood?- Yeah.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35You know you cannot correct things if you don't make the mistakes.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38It's in training now that we put them correct for the competition.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40All right? So have a good session.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Now, this is your centre stage, Kloe.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Eye contact to the judges.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50And across, down.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Really strong in those ankles.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59For Josh, the competition in Riga

0:07:59 > 0:08:01will mark the first time he's competed

0:08:01 > 0:08:03internationally at a senior level.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07I'm going to step up to do some senior competitions this year.

0:08:07 > 0:08:08It doesn't get any higher.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11Some of the people that are going to be competing have completed at the

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Olympics, which is going to be like...

0:08:13 > 0:08:15- It's just going to be crazy.- And now, very fast backspin.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Yes.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19OK, Josh. Come here, please.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26You are now understanding, you are skating with skaters...

0:08:26 > 0:08:29I don't know, seven national champions,

0:08:29 > 0:08:31yeah? This competition very important for us.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33OK, right. OK.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36The jumps are harder and you've really got to step up your game and

0:08:36 > 0:08:39the triple triples have got to be in there all the time.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41With each point more crucial than ever,

0:08:41 > 0:08:46Josh is hoping the hardest jump he's tried, the triple triple,

0:08:46 > 0:08:49- will be ready.- Not bad.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51I feel a little bit slow.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55The triple triple is two triple jumps continuously back-to-back.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58So it's a step up from, like, a triple double.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00No problem absolutely at all.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03- No problem at all.- To get the triple triple out for Riga,

0:09:03 > 0:09:05that would be great.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Come on. Last one. One more.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Absolutely beautiful.

0:09:14 > 0:09:15Josh is feeling confident,

0:09:15 > 0:09:18and it looks like Kloe's fighting hard for her jumps too.

0:09:18 > 0:09:24One... Now take it through and over and through and back.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Good girl. Things are looking OK.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29Much better than this morning.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Let's have a look at that three jump combo again.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Come on, then. Try once more.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42Sometimes we just can't do a jump for

0:09:42 > 0:09:44days or weeks.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47I realised that there is no point to stress about things.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Right now, I'm feeling quite confident about it.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00To make it to the top, it helps to start young.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02And if the years of dedication pay off...

0:10:02 > 0:10:06- Like Bambi!- It could mean getting that big break.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Ice hockey player Rais has spent almost his entire life at the rink.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16His hockey dreams began at five...

0:10:16 > 0:10:19Nothing to me is as good as hockey.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22He joined his first team at seven...

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Keep right, keep right.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26And his parents have spent hundreds

0:10:26 > 0:10:29of late nights taking him to the rink.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31That's straight in the hole.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33And they even took him to Canada to try pond hockey.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35It's like winning the lottery. It is.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38It is. It's amazing.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40When Rais was selected for England at 15,

0:10:40 > 0:10:42it looked like things couldn't get any better.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47But what he didn't know is a scout from a top Canadian hockey team had

0:10:47 > 0:10:48been watching him play.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54He said he'd seen me play and wanted to offer a chance for me to go over

0:10:54 > 0:10:56there, play hockey, go to the school.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58- Hey, Rais.- All right?

0:10:58 > 0:11:01It's something I've always wanted to do, since I was a little kid,

0:11:01 > 0:11:03just play at a higher level. So it was a dream come true, really.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Are you looking forward to it?- Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08- It should be good.- Good, good.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Whatever you want to do is down to you now.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12You know, make the most of a great life experience.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Going over to Canada is like the biggest buzz that's going.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16It's the heart of hockey, basically.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19You know, over here we've got 45, 46 rinks.

0:11:19 > 0:11:20They've got 11,000.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23I could potentially go for three years if I wanted to.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25Just never forget, you know, where you started.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Yeah. It definitely has not been easy but,

0:11:28 > 0:11:30I mean, we've come a long way.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33I wish you all the best, OK? And just have some fun, mate, yeah?

0:11:33 > 0:11:34All right? Good boy. Well done.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Gosh, you're always getting bigger!

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Rais is off to Canada in three days' time,

0:11:40 > 0:11:43and tonight is his last session with his team.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46It's going to be hard to leave this place,

0:11:46 > 0:11:48but at the end of the day it's the

0:11:48 > 0:11:50right thing to do at this time for me.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Stand your ground.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Stick active. Back.

0:11:58 > 0:11:59That's all you've got to do, OK?

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Let's go.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17I've been playing with Rais for about nine years now,

0:12:17 > 0:12:20so I've got a lot of memories of him.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22It's a shame to lose someone with such a big presence.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25We'll all miss him. Just wish him the best of luck.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27And there's a surprise in store for Rais.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30Coach Paul has brought back an old tradition used to mark a player's

0:12:30 > 0:12:34send-off. It involves some very cold water.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37Rais, in you come! OK, boys, listen up.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39With Rais obviously going, yeah?

0:12:39 > 0:12:40We've lost many a player over the years.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42You might see him in two or three

0:12:42 > 0:12:44years' time and he might be seven foot tall then, OK?

0:12:44 > 0:12:46But all of you guys, yeah, you tap

0:12:46 > 0:12:48your sticks and you wish him all the best, boys. OK, boys?

0:12:50 > 0:12:55LAUGHTER

0:12:59 > 0:13:01That bucket landed on his head perfectly as well!

0:13:03 > 0:13:06That bucket was not... Not expected at all.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12I've got to go home. I've got to pack and I've got to get ready.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18I'll miss just the pure fun that we get up to here.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21But at the end of the day, it's what I've got to do.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32Rais's days at the rink may be over, but for Josh's new dance partner,

0:13:32 > 0:13:36Lucy, it's just the beginning.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39I think them colours but more silver in the light blue.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43When I found out I was skating with Josh I was really,

0:13:43 > 0:13:45really excited to be able to start

0:13:45 > 0:13:48and see where the future will take us.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50Lucy's been training hard to prepare

0:13:50 > 0:13:53for her first ever public performance with Josh.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55How many crystals do you think we've done?

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Too many to count.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01But it's no good skating well if the new couple don't look the part.

0:14:01 > 0:14:05There's about... 700?

0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Not yet.- Maybe with the neck...

0:14:07 > 0:14:11Now I'm with Josh, we're getting a whole new set of dresses for each

0:14:11 > 0:14:14routine, so that's quite exciting.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18I love this dress because my mum and my auntie,

0:14:18 > 0:14:20they've made it themselves.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24I don't know if Josh likes crystals as much, but...

0:14:25 > 0:14:28..I don't know.

0:14:28 > 0:14:29I hope he does.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32You can never have too many crystals on a dress.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37Lucy started skating at five years old,

0:14:37 > 0:14:39and has had plenty of success on the ice.

0:14:41 > 0:14:45This one was from last year.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49I won the British Championships.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53We've both been through partners who've decided to quit,

0:14:53 > 0:14:56and it is hard moving from one person to another.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58How much glue have you been putting on?

0:14:58 > 0:15:01- Just a dab.- And so I'm really looking forward to it with Josh now.

0:15:05 > 0:15:06Can't wait to try it on.

0:15:20 > 0:15:21I'm packing my bag and you're just

0:15:21 > 0:15:24sat there doing nothing. Do you want to help?

0:15:24 > 0:15:26The least you could be doing is helping me.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31The time's arrived for Rais to leave for hockey school in Canada.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35I've got two bags.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37There's two kitbag-sized bags,

0:15:37 > 0:15:39so I can fit more stuff in it.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41This is the biggest thing that's probably happened to me so far in my

0:15:41 > 0:15:43life. At the school I'm going to,

0:15:43 > 0:15:45we'll be doing gym and hockey and team

0:15:45 > 0:15:48training as part of school, and then lessons in between that.

0:15:48 > 0:15:52If I forget one thing, it could be quite bad.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55This is a suit. I've already been told by my mum about creasing it,

0:15:55 > 0:15:58cos she spent quite a lot of money on it, so...

0:16:03 > 0:16:06Oh... You decided to show up and help me now?

0:16:06 > 0:16:08Got told I have to.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Well, you should have been doing it anyway, to be honest with you.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12Younger brother, Aren, has his

0:16:12 > 0:16:14sights on something Rais is leaving behind.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18You're definitely not having my room. Not a chance.

0:16:18 > 0:16:19OK, it's not what Mum said.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22Well, it definitely is what Mum said because she said you're definitely

0:16:22 > 0:16:24not having my room cos it's my room.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Are you going to miss me, Aren? - Why would I miss you?

0:16:27 > 0:16:29I'm going to be absolutely fine.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31You're going to be crying. You'll be crying.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33- Whatever you say.- Yeah. What you mean, whatever I say?

0:16:33 > 0:16:35Whatever I say is right!

0:16:35 > 0:16:36What I'll probably miss the most

0:16:36 > 0:16:38about my brother is just making fun of each other.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40That means you're going to slack.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42I'm not going to slack.

0:16:42 > 0:16:43- You're going to slack.- Just watch me.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46I will be better than I am now when you come back.

0:16:46 > 0:16:50Him trying to be funny, and not having him around every day.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Rais, I'll love you and miss you.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54Don't lie. Don't lie!

0:16:55 > 0:16:57The boys might be all smiles now,

0:16:57 > 0:16:59but Rais could be away for three years or more.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04I know that it's hard for my parents to let me go.

0:17:04 > 0:17:10I mean, I'm only 15 and most people probably leave home at 18 or 19.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13With their dad at work and Rais' flight drawing closer,

0:17:13 > 0:17:15the hard truth of the family

0:17:15 > 0:17:18separating is hitting their mum, Jane.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21- What are these?- Now, I'm sorry, chubby.

0:17:21 > 0:17:25Look at this dude. Look at this dude!

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Oh, he's cute.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32Rais is probably about a year old there.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36The rink was opened at the same time he was born.

0:17:36 > 0:17:40Rais has been going ever since the rink has been opened.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42Them shades, though!

0:17:42 > 0:17:44I'm extremely grateful to my parents

0:17:44 > 0:17:48for supporting me from day one when I started playing hockey at five.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50You were just sat watching the hockey,

0:17:50 > 0:17:53and I almost remember the day when you said, "I want to do that."

0:17:53 > 0:17:55I'm really, really excited for him.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59I think it's absolutely 150% the right thing for him to do.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02But as a mum, I shall miss my child.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04Cos I'm used to following you around.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06It's all right, Mum.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09I've got to be working as hard as I can,

0:18:09 > 0:18:12and making the sacrifice of my parents letting me leave worth it.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14You want the best for your child.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19He'll understand one day why I'm upset.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29The longest I've probably been away from home was maybe for four days.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34It'll be hard, being away your family.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37- That's it.- Are you going to have the photo?

0:18:37 > 0:18:39Yeah.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42But it's something you've got to do if you want to go far in hockey.

0:18:42 > 0:18:43Cool, take care, my man.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57It's only a few days until the

0:18:57 > 0:19:00international figure competition in Riga.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03Kloe's new healthy eating plan is in full swing.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06And tonight she's invited someone special over to test her cooking.

0:19:08 > 0:19:09So Josh is coming over tonight and

0:19:09 > 0:19:12I'm going to make him one of my healthy

0:19:12 > 0:19:14meals called a spring salad.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17What can go wrong with a spring salad, if I'm honest?

0:19:17 > 0:19:19I'm going to be pretty impressed if

0:19:19 > 0:19:20she messes it up, so no pressure, Klo.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Hey, Klo.- Hi, Josh.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26- How are you?- I'm good.

0:19:26 > 0:19:27- How are you?- I'm good, thank you.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29- Are you ready for this?- I'm super ready.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32I like food so much.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34When I'm with Josh and when we have our off days,

0:19:34 > 0:19:36we'll eat everything.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38This looks so healthy, I can't do it all.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40So obviously the salad.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43And then strawberries and blueberries.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45- Loving it.- And then just the chicken.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Sounds pretty easy to me.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Oh, this is so disgusting!

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Cutting up the chicken, I'm not very good.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56You've got... Klo, it's OK, you've got it.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Oh, I don't...- No, no, no, no. - I don't know how to do it.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01Right, let me get the frying pan out.

0:20:01 > 0:20:02Is it heating up?

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Yeah.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06OK, let's do this.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08This is so intense.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10- Wow, Klo.- I just don't want to mess it up.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13I've tried, like, eating healthier before but, like, I didn't, like,

0:20:13 > 0:20:16fully go for it. I was, like, "Do you know what?"

0:20:16 > 0:20:18I'm going to step my game up.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21I'm going to cook chicken. So this is the first ever time.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23I'm so proud of you. I feel really special.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26This time I actually, like, 100% tried to eat healthier.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29My mum would be so proud of me right now.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Can you take a photo of me, please?

0:20:31 > 0:20:34Like, get the chicken in it, cos it looks really good.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38- I think it's done.- I don't know.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41- I need my mum here.- Let me check, Klo.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44Yeah, it looks really good, smells really good.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46I think that's done.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49Are you excited for Riga, Klo, now that it's only a few days away?

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Yeah, I'm excited. A bit nervous.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53- Are you?- I think that's normal, though, you know?

0:20:53 > 0:20:55We want to go and skate our best,

0:20:55 > 0:20:58so there's always that pressure that you put on yourself to

0:20:58 > 0:21:01do your best. I haven't even started packing.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Oh, me neither!- It's time to assemble.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Oh, by the way, this water...

0:21:12 > 0:21:14- Yeah?- ..is what, like, Hungarian Olympians drink.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16- It's, like, really good for you. - No way.- Yeah.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18It's, like, really good for your muscles and stuff.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Not only am I having a really healthy meal,

0:21:21 > 0:21:23I'm having Olympian-worthy water.

0:21:23 > 0:21:27- Literally.- Klo, this is, like, the perfect way to set us up for Riga.

0:21:27 > 0:21:28- I know.- OK, let's eat.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31- Are you ready for this?- I'm not sure.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33- Me neither.- This could be absolutely disgusting.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35And... Go.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37Tastes really good.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40- It's great, isn't it?- Tastes really nice.

0:21:40 > 0:21:41It's like my mum's.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43This is goals.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46Literally, I've never been so proud of myself.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48What are you most nervous for in Riga, do you think?

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Like, the spins, the steps?

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Most nervous? Well, the jumps.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55For me, the main thing is the triple triple.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57It's been pretty consistent at the moment.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59I just really want to make sure that

0:21:59 > 0:22:02when we get there I do it really well in competition.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04- Are you finished?- Yeah.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07That was so good. Thanks for coming over, Josh.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09Thanks for inviting me.

0:22:09 > 0:22:10Oh, it's fine.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12It was very nice.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15- You're welcome.- I had pro water and everything.- It was good.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17And I'll see you in Riga.

0:22:17 > 0:22:18- Yeah, I will.- Oh...

0:22:18 > 0:22:21See you later. OK, bye.

0:22:27 > 0:22:31One of my most embarrassing skating experiences was, basically...

0:22:31 > 0:22:36I went onto a competition with my dress on backwards. Yeah.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40I fell over and then I ran across the ice to try and get back in,

0:22:40 > 0:22:42and then I fell again.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44I threw up on the ice.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Snapping my stick in a training session.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50I, like, threw up in my hand and then, it was just like...

0:22:50 > 0:22:53So they're like, "First place," and then they say my name.

0:22:53 > 0:22:58And then I go and then I fall right in front of the podium.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04Embarrassing moments might be part of life for our ice stars,

0:23:04 > 0:23:06but for Josh, he's hoping he'll be

0:23:06 > 0:23:09remembered for skating and nothing else.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12To fall over at the gala would have been really embarrassing.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15It's the morning of Jucy's first public skate.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17OK, everybody ready?

0:23:17 > 0:23:18- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22Word about the new couple has spread,

0:23:22 > 0:23:25so they'll be skating to a full crowd today.

0:23:25 > 0:23:26I think the seats are all sold out.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29- Yeah.- So, are you nervous?

0:23:29 > 0:23:31At the very beginning you get really nervous,

0:23:31 > 0:23:34cos you're standing there waiting for your music.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36When I'm really nervous, I hold my breath.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41So then I always have to be reminded to breathe and smile.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Let's see you smile then, Josh.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47I'm not very good at smiling!

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Skaters of all ages start to arrive at the rink.

0:23:54 > 0:23:55It'll be a real test for the new

0:23:55 > 0:23:58couple to win over the crowd and grab the limelight.

0:23:58 > 0:24:03If they do well here, it could mean doing well at competitions too.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06It was important for the performance to go well,

0:24:06 > 0:24:08to be able to see how the

0:24:08 > 0:24:10partnership's going before our competition.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Are we facing this way or that way?

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Start facing this way.

0:24:14 > 0:24:18- OK.- Instead of, like, turning, lifting up and going that way...

0:24:18 > 0:24:20- Turning our back and...- Get up and go that way.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23With hundreds of ice fans streaming in,

0:24:23 > 0:24:26Josh and Lucy need to focus on how

0:24:26 > 0:24:28to get the best from their new partnership.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31When you're really good friends with your partner,

0:24:31 > 0:24:32that really does help quite a lot.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34With Lucy, at the minute, it's more

0:24:34 > 0:24:37kind of like a business relationship.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40So I think tonight's quite important to show that

0:24:40 > 0:24:42we can skate well together.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45One of our lifts wasn't going too well.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47It hadn't been going right in practice.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50The more I thought about it, the more nervous I was getting.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56I start to get a bit nervous

0:24:56 > 0:24:59when I see all the people that are sat in there.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04When I saw everybody in the crowd and how many people there

0:25:04 > 0:25:07were, there was loads of people watching.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09All the lights were going out, we

0:25:09 > 0:25:11couldn't really see where we were going at first.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Hopefully, it'll all go as planned.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Everybody was watching. It was really quiet.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35# You've got a hold of me

0:25:35 > 0:25:39# Don't even know your power

0:25:39 > 0:25:42# I stand 100 feet

0:25:42 > 0:25:45# But I fall when I'm around you

0:25:45 > 0:25:49# Show me an open door

0:25:49 > 0:25:52# And you go and slam it on me

0:25:52 > 0:25:55# I can't take any more

0:25:55 > 0:26:00# I'm saying baby please have mercy on me... #

0:26:00 > 0:26:03When the lift was coming up, I was thinking, "Oh, no,

0:26:03 > 0:26:06"what happens if it goes wrong? What happens if we fall over?"

0:26:09 > 0:26:11We were gripping onto each other really hard,

0:26:11 > 0:26:13just trying to keep it going.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17We just looked at each other and knew that had gone well.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20We're like, "Oh, we can breathe now."

0:26:20 > 0:26:23# Mercy on my heart

0:26:23 > 0:26:27# Consuming all the air inside my lungs

0:26:27 > 0:26:31# Gripping all the skin from off my bones

0:26:31 > 0:26:33# I'm prepared to sacrifice my life

0:26:33 > 0:26:37# I would gladly do it twice

0:26:37 > 0:26:41# Oh, please have mercy on me

0:26:41 > 0:26:44# I need you to set me free

0:26:44 > 0:26:47# I'm begging you for mercy

0:26:47 > 0:26:51# Mercy begging you begging you please baby

0:26:51 > 0:26:54# I'm begging you for mercy

0:26:54 > 0:26:58# Mercy begging you begging you yeah. #

0:26:58 > 0:27:01APPLAUSE

0:27:01 > 0:27:05CHEERING

0:27:05 > 0:27:09When everyone started clapping and cheering, we knew it had gone well.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13It felt really good,

0:27:13 > 0:27:17and it was a really big relief that we'd skated our first performance.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23It was a really good feeling,

0:27:23 > 0:27:26knowing we were ready for the competitions to come.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37Everything is just working really well for us,

0:27:37 > 0:27:39and we're hoping we can carry this

0:27:39 > 0:27:42through to the future and see where it takes us.

0:27:46 > 0:27:50Kloe and Becky battle against 50 top skaters in Riga.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52Why? Becky, come on!

0:27:52 > 0:27:56Josh risks showing his new jump for the first time.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59Josh will have to show his triple triple combination.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01Go, Josh!

0:28:01 > 0:28:03And the Icicles have an idea which

0:28:03 > 0:28:06could help them master their tricky new routine.

0:28:06 > 0:28:09Just make sure it's overly exaggerated.
