0:00:04 > 0:00:06Destiny!

0:00:07 > 0:00:10You might finally get to be a hockey player.

0:00:10 > 0:00:15If I do actually play in a team as a net minder, I'll be so happy.

0:00:17 > 0:00:18Don't cut the edges so tight.

0:00:18 > 0:00:22- Sorry.- When me and Lucy first got together, we got on quite well,

0:00:22 > 0:00:25but then we started arguing quite a lot.

0:00:25 > 0:00:27So the British championships are coming up really soon.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30We want to be British champions, don't we?

0:00:30 > 0:00:32At the British, if nothing's improved,

0:00:32 > 0:00:35then we're not sure whether we're going to carry on

0:00:35 > 0:00:37skating together or not.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Their future may be in doubt, but Jucy are determined that this

0:00:56 > 0:01:00won't hold them back at the British Ice Dance Championships.

0:01:00 > 0:01:01Yeah!

0:01:01 > 0:01:04It's time for Destiny to see if she's tough enough to follow through

0:01:04 > 0:01:06with her ice hockey dreams.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10- Good!- It feels completely new, and I'm struggling.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13And, elite figure skater Josh takes on a very different

0:01:13 > 0:01:15kind of challenge.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Slow down, slow down. When I say slow down, you need to slow down.

0:01:17 > 0:01:21- It has to gradually slow down. - No, if you press the brake hard, it'll slow down.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Come on, big, big, big.

0:01:32 > 0:01:33Forwards. Jump!

0:01:33 > 0:01:35That's it!

0:01:35 > 0:01:37Making it as an ice star is hard work.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40There's the early morning starts...

0:01:41 > 0:01:43..intense training sessions...

0:01:43 > 0:01:46One...and relax. Well done, girls, excellent.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48..the pressure of performing to a crowd,

0:01:48 > 0:01:51and a generous sprinkling of magic.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58It's something Destiny is just discovering.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Yes!

0:02:01 > 0:02:02She's mad about ice hockey,

0:02:02 > 0:02:06and dreams of one day playing for the women's ice hockey team,

0:02:06 > 0:02:07the Nottingham Vipers.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Hey! No cheats!

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Come on, Vipers!

0:02:13 > 0:02:16I've always wanted to play for women's hockey team.

0:02:16 > 0:02:20Most people think ice hockey is mainly for boys, but really,

0:02:20 > 0:02:21anyone can play it.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Woo! Go Vipers!

0:02:25 > 0:02:28It's fast-paced and competitive.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31You have to be kind of a crazy and brave person

0:02:31 > 0:02:35to go out and become a hockey player.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Come on, come on, come on! Yeah!

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Wooo!

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Five, four, three,

0:02:43 > 0:02:45two, one!

0:02:46 > 0:02:47Woo!

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Yes, we won!

0:02:50 > 0:02:52I am so happy!

0:02:53 > 0:02:58One person who knows all about ice hockey is star player Jess.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02Last season, Jess broke her ankle during a speed skating competition.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11Since then, she's been dedicating a lot of her time to ice hockey.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Destiny's keen to join a team as soon as possible.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20So she's hoping for some advice.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23For our league you have to be, like, 16 and over,

0:03:23 > 0:03:25so I started playing with the boys since I was a kid,

0:03:25 > 0:03:27since I was about eight, nine.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29It really helped me to develop my skills,

0:03:29 > 0:03:32and it's helped me to play for the Vipers now.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35So would you think that would be a good route for you to go?

0:03:35 > 0:03:37I'm going to try and start with the boys and then work up.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Good idea.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41I think when it comes to hockey,

0:03:41 > 0:03:43I think you kind of have to work quite hard.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47I think she wants to learn, and that's the key thing with kids.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49If they want to learn, they will develop so much quicker

0:03:49 > 0:03:52and I think she has the attitude to it,

0:03:52 > 0:03:55to be an ice hockey player, so I think she will go far in the sport.

0:03:55 > 0:03:59There's no doubt Destiny's ice hockey dream is real enough,

0:03:59 > 0:04:03but the reality will be tougher than she could ever imagine.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05As she's about to find out.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Hi.- Hi.- All right?- Yeah.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Ice dancers Josh and Lucy have been a skating partnership

0:04:20 > 0:04:21since the start of the season.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25They've been busy training for the British championships,

0:04:25 > 0:04:28but although they skate well together,

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Josh hasn't felt sure about continuing as a dance couple.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35I can never really tell if it's because of the partnership

0:04:35 > 0:04:37or because he just doesn't enjoy it any more.

0:04:37 > 0:04:44The fact that that might all go away is, like, quite upsetting really.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Just ahead of the championships,

0:04:46 > 0:04:50Josh has decided that, once that's over, so too is the partnership.

0:04:52 > 0:04:56I think the reason me and Lucy don't get on together

0:04:56 > 0:04:59is because we're so similar in personalities.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04This is one of our last training sessions before the British,

0:05:04 > 0:05:07but also one of the last ones that I'll be training with Josh.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Kind of argue a bit too much.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Hang on, look what we're tracing.

0:05:18 > 0:05:19What? You can't just stop!

0:05:19 > 0:05:22You seem really hyper today, like normally you're so tired.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24- No, I am tired.- You said stop.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27Yeah, but you carried on one step, so I thought you were carrying on.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30That's part of the order though, isn't it?

0:05:30 > 0:05:34I am quite upset that the partnership isn't going to work out

0:05:34 > 0:05:37and I think Lucy is really upset about it

0:05:37 > 0:05:40because she wants to make the partnership work as well.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42I don't trust that Josh.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45Shoulder down. Lift the chin,

0:05:45 > 0:05:48I want a big gap between your chin and your shoulder.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51I am really upset that it's coming to an end.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Because we've put in so much hard work and effort

0:05:54 > 0:05:55in the training this season

0:05:55 > 0:05:58and I really enjoyed skating with Josh.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01Through the middle section after the step wide,

0:06:01 > 0:06:03you're both looking in different directions,

0:06:03 > 0:06:06I'm stood in a similar place to where the judges will be, yeah?

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Acknowledge me, you know, I want to make eye contact with you,

0:06:09 > 0:06:11I want to see your face.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14All right? Looking over in this direction both of you,

0:06:14 > 0:06:16heads up, smiling.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Even though this will be Jucy's last performance together,

0:06:19 > 0:06:23they've agreed to step up to the challenge of the British championships

0:06:23 > 0:06:26and do everything they can to get a podium spot.

0:06:26 > 0:06:30Me and Lucy both know that we are going to be splitting

0:06:30 > 0:06:31after the British,

0:06:31 > 0:06:34but we're still going to go into the British and try our best

0:06:34 > 0:06:39and try to win so that we can both finish the season on a high.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41We are still going to go for it.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43We're still going to try our hardest and show everyone

0:06:43 > 0:06:47that we're still improving, even if it is coming to an end.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55You guys have come to a decision already about what's happening

0:06:55 > 0:06:56after the British.

0:06:56 > 0:07:01Putting all of that aside, I just really want you to focus this week

0:07:01 > 0:07:03and just do the best you can do.

0:07:03 > 0:07:07You stand a really good chance of doing well. That's the goal.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20Figure skater Josh is a champion skater.

0:07:23 > 0:07:27But he's about to start learning a totally new set of skills.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Is that your car? - Yeah, I picked it up today.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Why didn't you tell me?

0:07:37 > 0:07:38I'm sorry.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Let me see.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Do you like the colour? - Yeah, I love colour.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48- I think the white looks best, but it's going to be hard to keep clean. - Yeah, I was going to say!

0:07:48 > 0:07:50This year I've just turned 17,

0:07:50 > 0:07:52which means I can finally start learning to drive,

0:07:52 > 0:07:55which is really exciting because it's kind of like

0:07:55 > 0:07:57that first kind of freedom and independence you get.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Being able to drive yourself around, get to training and stuff.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02How are your lessons going?

0:08:02 > 0:08:05I just have to concentrate so hard for, like, the whole hour.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Yeah.- Yeah.- How many lessons have you had?- It's just scary.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12So far, I've only had two, so I'm just hoping that

0:08:12 > 0:08:17I don't muck anything up on the test otherwise I have to take it again.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Oh, yeah.- If I pass, I can give you lifts.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22- I can't wait.- If you pay me. It's like a taxi.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24- This isn't for free.- Yeah, I know.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Thanks.- Like, where are we going to go?

0:08:27 > 0:08:29We're going to go to auditions together.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32We need to have our road trips mapped out.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34All right. Well, we're going to London, definitely.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36- At some point.- London.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38This is going to be the impression of us when I passed my test.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41- OK.- Are you ready? - I need loads of seat belts.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48Josh said that he wasn't nervous about driving,

0:08:48 > 0:08:50but he is. Like, come on.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Why wouldn't he be nervous?

0:08:52 > 0:08:55He needs to pass soon because I told him to.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Destiny has always dreamed of becoming an ice hockey goalie.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Also known as a net minder.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Hopefully I don't fall over!

0:09:08 > 0:09:11But before she gets the chance to stand in goal,

0:09:11 > 0:09:14coach Matt needs to see her skate alongside the team.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16I'm really, really excited.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19I'm really excited and nervous.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22- There you go.- Thank you. - Now you're good to go.

0:09:22 > 0:09:26Over the past year, her skating skills have improved massively,

0:09:26 > 0:09:29but she still has one disadvantage.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31They all look a bit tall.

0:09:36 > 0:09:40When I first went into my hockey lesson, I felt kind of alone

0:09:40 > 0:09:43because there wasn't many shorter people,

0:09:43 > 0:09:46and I was the only girl

0:09:46 > 0:09:50and I was a bit worried about getting knocked over

0:09:50 > 0:09:52by one of the taller lads.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Towering team-mates are not the only problem.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Try them on and make sure they're OK.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06- They are way too big. - A little bit too big. OK, so...

0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Put that one on this one.- OK.

0:10:10 > 0:10:11This one.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13OK, we will get you a stick.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15Before she can try out in goal,

0:10:15 > 0:10:19the coaches need to see if Destiny has the right kind of attitude

0:10:19 > 0:10:20to make it as a net minder.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Jump on nice and steady. On you go!

0:10:29 > 0:10:31That's all right.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33Nobody saw you, you're fine.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36She's started to get a bit more nervous

0:10:36 > 0:10:39in case the rest of them in the group are better than her,

0:10:39 > 0:10:42but I suppose we've all got to start somewhere -

0:10:42 > 0:10:44start at the bottom and work our way up.

0:10:46 > 0:10:47Watch out!

0:10:47 > 0:10:51OK, what you got to think about now is there's more players on the ice,

0:10:51 > 0:10:52so make sure you keep your head up,

0:10:52 > 0:10:55because you nearly got run over by one player. All right?

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Keep your balance, keep yourself on the end of the line so you don't get

0:10:58 > 0:10:59run over, but that was really good.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Eh-up! What are you doing?

0:11:03 > 0:11:05It's a boomerang!

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Oh, she's gone for a turn, and you stayed up!

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Still smiling. Still smiling.

0:11:11 > 0:11:12And again.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15After a shaky start, Destiny is starting to find her feet,

0:11:15 > 0:11:17as well as her confidence.

0:11:18 > 0:11:22- Nice.- I take the doubt and turn it into a strength,

0:11:22 > 0:11:26it gives me a boost, thinking I can actually do it.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32Nice. What I want to see you do now is,

0:11:32 > 0:11:34I want to see you really push it in.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38A lot faster. I want to see a bit more aggressive skating.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40All right? Go as fast as you can, OK?

0:11:40 > 0:11:42That's better, look at that!

0:11:42 > 0:11:45that's totally different, a bit more aggression, that's good.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47That's better, you know, that's good, push hard.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50Go, go, go, go, go. Nice.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Well, that was a lot better.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54You looked like a hockey player then.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57As you want to be goalie, I want to see a bit of backwards all right?

0:11:57 > 0:11:58OK, off you go, let's have a look.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02Turn around backwards again, Destiny.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Yeah, that's great.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09I really am pleased, how well you've improved,

0:12:09 > 0:12:12you can see the hard work you've put in with your lessons.

0:12:12 > 0:12:16Maybe we can fast track you through because we are keen to get goalies,

0:12:16 > 0:12:19especially girl goalies, we're really keen to get involved.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Let's see you work hard, improve your skills,

0:12:22 > 0:12:24and we'll look forward to getting you through

0:12:24 > 0:12:25maybe to the club if we can.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28That's great news for Destiny,

0:12:28 > 0:12:31and Matt's eager to see how she copes when she's kitted up.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34I'm keen to get some goalie pads on her,

0:12:34 > 0:12:36because I know that's her big target,

0:12:36 > 0:12:38and I think she's got that bit between her teeth,

0:12:38 > 0:12:40and I really want to see her progress.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43A full goalie kit can weigh around 20lbs,

0:12:43 > 0:12:45so Destiny may have passed this stage of her test,

0:12:45 > 0:12:48but the hardest challenge is yet to come.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50- How was it then?- It was really fun.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52- Was it?- Yeah, I fell over.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Going to get your kit off, yeah?

0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Yes.- I fell over.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11Away from the rink, Josh's road trip plans with Kloe

0:13:11 > 0:13:15will come to a standstill, unless he can pass his driving test.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18So today, he's getting some extra tuition.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Morning, matey. Ready for some driving today?

0:13:30 > 0:13:33We just need to practise the pulling off, cos I hate when you're waiting

0:13:33 > 0:13:36at a junction, or whatever, I really don't like that.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38Think of it like learning a new skating element,

0:13:38 > 0:13:39it's just a technique.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41So far, I've only had a few lessons,

0:13:41 > 0:13:44so I'm still a little bit at the beginning.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50Josh is hoping that by swapping his turns, twizzles and axels

0:13:50 > 0:13:55for mirrors, signals and manoeuvres, he'll become more independent.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58He's already bought his own set of wheels to practise in.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00Ta-da!

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Did you look left to see what's coming down the road?

0:14:02 > 0:14:03No.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07Learning how to operate and drive a car is slightly different to

0:14:07 > 0:14:10learning how to jump and spin on the ice.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12But definitely going to take the same mentality

0:14:12 > 0:14:15that I take into skating into my driving lessons.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21Into second.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23Into second gear, please.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25- Come on.- Let's go, go, go.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27You should have moved into second gear quicker, though.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30But I don't like turning and changing gear, that's so scary.

0:14:30 > 0:14:31You need to get used to that.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36Brake, brake, brake. Man in the middle of the road.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41OK, another van parked now, so have a good look before you go around.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Right, drive round. That's it.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46I know you swing out to look, but don't swing out too far, yeah?

0:14:46 > 0:14:48- This is like an obstacle course. - Breathing is good.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50It was like they all gathered together and they were like,

0:14:50 > 0:14:53"Josh is driving today, let's all park on the opposite side

0:14:53 > 0:14:55"of the road and make it really difficult for him."

0:14:55 > 0:14:58# Shut up and drive... #

0:14:58 > 0:15:01Slowly, slowly, slowly. Let's have a good look.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03There's a car coming, just stop there.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Perfect.- Sorry.

0:15:05 > 0:15:06Sorry.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10Handbrake. What did you do wrong?

0:15:10 > 0:15:13- I didn't put the clutch in. - Clutch down.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Every time you stop, clutch down. Off you go.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17That was rubbish.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Slow down, slow down, slow down.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21When I say slow down, you need to slow down.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Second gear. - I have gone down into second.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26I know. The car doesn't magically go down to the speed you want,

0:15:26 > 0:15:28it has to gradually slow down.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30No, if you press the brake hard, it'll slow down.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35Neutral, neutral.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37OK.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40Stop panicking. Turn the ignition on, please.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43That's it. First gear. First gear. 1,500 revs.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45But, just like falling on the ice,

0:15:45 > 0:15:49Josh picks himself up and things start to take a turn for the better.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Lovely. That was great.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53That was a great one, yeah?

0:15:53 > 0:15:56Beautiful. There you go, see? What was wrong with that? Perfect.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Second. Lovely, much better.

0:15:58 > 0:15:59My God, I even changed gear.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Much better. - And turned at the same time!

0:16:02 > 0:16:03- Much better.- Yes, Josh!

0:16:03 > 0:16:06Slow down, slow down, up onto the drive.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Perfect. And lovely.

0:16:10 > 0:16:11Right, that was great.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14OK, you make one tiny mistake and you start flapping.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Yeah? Don't flap, yeah?

0:16:17 > 0:16:18It was good.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21It looks like Josh has the makings of a great driver.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24But if he is going to drive Kloe to the gala,

0:16:24 > 0:16:27he's not got long to get rid of the L-plates.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39Say "silk" five times.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41Silk, silk, silk, silk, silk.

0:16:41 > 0:16:42What do cows drink?

0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Water.- Oh!

0:16:44 > 0:16:47After all the weeks of hard work and dedication,

0:16:47 > 0:16:50tonight, Destiny has reached a milestone in her training.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53The coaches have decided she's ready to be kitted up

0:16:53 > 0:16:55and put in goal.

0:16:55 > 0:16:59This evening, I'm going to be doing a session in goalie hockey kit.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01Body armour.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05Quite nervous about having pucks launched at me.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08I'm probably going to die.

0:17:08 > 0:17:12But Destiny hasn't done all this work to give up now.

0:17:12 > 0:17:17It's time to prove she's tough enough to be a net minder.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Is that tight enough?- Yeah, good.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Tonight, my friend Charlie is going to be the one

0:17:22 > 0:17:24who's firing the pucks at me.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Charlie, are you going to go easy on me?

0:17:26 > 0:17:30If you're in goal, never think that anybody is going to go easy on you

0:17:30 > 0:17:31because they're not.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33I think I might get hit in the face.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Yes, that's all I ever aim at.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37I don't think that Charlie is going to give me an easy time.

0:17:37 > 0:17:42Destiny has been fast tracked through her basic skating levels

0:17:42 > 0:17:47as coach Callum believes she has what he is looking for.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49From watching her and coaching her,

0:17:49 > 0:17:53you know, you get that feeling she is that gritty person.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55You know, she will get stuck in there.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58Neck guard.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Once I had layered up most of the kit,

0:18:05 > 0:18:09it felt quite heavy and I could barely move in it.

0:18:12 > 0:18:16Walking wasn't that easy either, because I had huge pads on.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18It was like an ostrich trying to fly,

0:18:18 > 0:18:19because of how heavy the kit was.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30Right, a big step down.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Destiny is going to be having all this kit on,

0:18:34 > 0:18:36it's going to be a whole new experience.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38I can't even skate in these!

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Are you all right?

0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Awkward.- Is it harder than you thought?

0:18:43 > 0:18:45- Yes.- Is it?

0:18:49 > 0:18:52Now that Destiny is getting a feel for skating in the kit,

0:18:52 > 0:18:54it's time to finally get in goal.

0:18:54 > 0:18:58So, hold that position, get that stick in front, hold that,

0:18:58 > 0:19:00bend the knees. Good, just put them pads...

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Yeah, hold them pads.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Feet together a bit more.

0:19:04 > 0:19:08Bend your knees more. Right, hold that position there, hold it.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10Bend in. That's it.

0:19:10 > 0:19:11Get ready for it, yeah?

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Not too hard, Charlie.

0:19:14 > 0:19:15Oooh!

0:19:15 > 0:19:17And again.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19- Oh!- I'm struggling quite a bit.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23It feels completely new and I'm struggling.

0:19:25 > 0:19:26There you go. And again.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32- Yes!- After about 15 minutes, I kind of gained confidence,

0:19:32 > 0:19:38getting used to having all the equipment on.

0:19:38 > 0:19:39Ready.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42Oh! It's gone, it's there, you saved it!

0:19:42 > 0:19:44Charlie have a go.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Just flick it.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Yes! She's doing well now.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50She's been on a few minutes, she's getting position-wise.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53She's getting her gloves up, getting her stick in right,

0:19:53 > 0:19:56she's saving a few pucks. It's good, good to see. Ready?

0:19:57 > 0:19:58Good!

0:19:58 > 0:20:01Well done. Are you sweating yet?

0:20:01 > 0:20:04- Tired.- Good girl.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Whoa, nice!

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Stick down! Oh!

0:20:10 > 0:20:14- Right, shall we get off then? Are you getting a bit tired?- Yes.

0:20:14 > 0:20:15Yes, that's fine.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18Keep working hard and hopefully we'll see you again on this.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21Hopefully we'll get you onto a team eventually.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24- If that's what you want to do. - Yes.- Has it put you off?- Yes.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26It's put you off...? No, you want to be a goalie!

0:20:26 > 0:20:28- Yeah!- Good.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Are they hurting?- Yes.

0:20:31 > 0:20:36It was quite different than what I expected, because it was tiring.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38I didn't think it would be this tiring.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41But I think I might get used to it.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43Even the professionals find it hard at first.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45She just needs to keep going.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47The first time, it's a scary feeling.

0:20:47 > 0:20:51I think she'll get the pads back on and she'll realise actually she

0:20:51 > 0:20:53does enjoy it, it is her dream to be a goalie.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56It surprised me a lot, for a first time goalkeeper to have a big power

0:20:56 > 0:20:58shot from me, Destiny did very well.

0:20:58 > 0:21:02- Get up.- I can't. - Yes, you can.- I can't.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05I saved a lot more than I thought I would,

0:21:05 > 0:21:09and that made me quite confident to try and become a goalie.

0:21:17 > 0:21:21It's the weekend of the British Ice Dance Championships in Sheffield,

0:21:21 > 0:21:23and skaters from all over Britain

0:21:23 > 0:21:25have gathered to showcase their talent

0:21:25 > 0:21:27and compete against the very best.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33But after less than a season training together,

0:21:33 > 0:21:36the couple are ending their partnership.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40They've improved immensely over the season,

0:21:40 > 0:21:44and it's a real shame that they have come to that decision.

0:21:44 > 0:21:45Hello.

0:21:45 > 0:21:49Jucy may be splitting up, but they want to give coach Sophie,

0:21:49 > 0:21:52the judges and the crowd a winning performance.

0:21:53 > 0:21:57It would mean a lot to win because we have put a lot of hard work

0:21:57 > 0:21:58into our dances.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01We would finish the season on a good note,

0:22:01 > 0:22:03even though we are splitting.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05We're just going to go out there and enjoy it,

0:22:05 > 0:22:07make it our last skate together,

0:22:07 > 0:22:10and show everyone how much we've improved since we first started.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15You're just going through the motions a bit,

0:22:15 > 0:22:17try and think about your performance a little more.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Just keep a good, strong hold.

0:22:19 > 0:22:23Speed across the ice, strong, firm hold. Yeah?

0:22:23 > 0:22:26It's very important that Josh and Lucy show off the potential

0:22:26 > 0:22:30that they've got. There's lots of coaches around at the British,

0:22:30 > 0:22:32lots of judges watching.

0:22:32 > 0:22:33Face, Josh, smile.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35It's going to be tough for them.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39I think there will be a lot of emotions running through them

0:22:39 > 0:22:42in terms of excitement and nerves,

0:22:42 > 0:22:44and also the feeling that this is

0:22:44 > 0:22:46going to be their last skate together.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56They were a little bit quiet when I first saw them this morning.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58A slight sign of nerves.

0:22:58 > 0:23:02But nerves are good because it gives you that little bit of adrenaline

0:23:02 > 0:23:04to perform well.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06A bit more strength in all these movements.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08Josh, face, come on.

0:23:12 > 0:23:16Last year, Josh and his previous partner Ellie came second.

0:23:19 > 0:23:23This time, he and Lucy are hoping to go one better

0:23:23 > 0:23:26and be crowned British ice dance champions.

0:23:26 > 0:23:30I think we are going into it with quite a professional attitude,

0:23:30 > 0:23:33just trying to concentrate on the competition.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35There is some tough competition in our category,

0:23:35 > 0:23:38but we're just going to go out there and skate our best,

0:23:38 > 0:23:40and hopefully win.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42'Next to skate, Lucy and Joshua.'

0:23:49 > 0:23:51A place at the podium is at stake.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54But, just seconds into their routine,

0:23:54 > 0:23:57Josh has a momentary lapse of concentration.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00AUDIENCE GASPS

0:24:06 > 0:24:08AUDIENCE GASPS

0:24:14 > 0:24:18When I tripped I was thinking, "Oh, no, this is going to go all wrong."

0:24:18 > 0:24:22I tried to put the mistake out of my mind by not thinking about it

0:24:22 > 0:24:26too much, and just concentrating on the rest of the moves in the dance.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29So that I didn't mess anything else up.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55I could tell that we were skating well, because it felt really smooth

0:24:55 > 0:24:57through all the different moves and things,

0:24:57 > 0:25:01and it felt really good to be able to skate like that

0:25:01 > 0:25:03after I'd done a bit of a trip at the start.

0:25:21 > 0:25:22Wow, what a performance, Jucy!

0:25:26 > 0:25:27But, for Josh's mum,

0:25:27 > 0:25:31seeing him skating for the last time with Lucy is too much.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35- Are you happy?- Yes.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38What happened at the start?

0:25:38 > 0:25:42I thought you were going over the barrier at the start, Josh.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48Despite the hiccup, Jucy seem pleased with their skate.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50But what will the judges think?

0:25:53 > 0:25:56'And the scores...

0:25:56 > 0:25:58'45...'

0:25:58 > 0:26:00Well done!

0:26:00 > 0:26:02They've done it!

0:26:02 > 0:26:05British gold medallists.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09We came into the competition knowing that afterwards we would be

0:26:09 > 0:26:11splitting, but still we tried our hardest

0:26:11 > 0:26:14and did our best skate,

0:26:14 > 0:26:16and came first.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18So I was really pleased.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21I think it was a good thing to end the season on a high note.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24- I don't want to hold it on my own. - Have you got it?

0:26:24 > 0:26:26No, you can hold it as well.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29Even though Josh has decided to end the partnership,

0:26:29 > 0:26:33Lucy has no regrets about their time skating together.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36The British this year has been an amazing experience,

0:26:36 > 0:26:38and I have really, really enjoyed it.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41Being able to skate with Josh has been such a privilege.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44Just showing that all our hard work has finally come together

0:26:44 > 0:26:45and paid off.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48And the size of the trophy, it was pretty big.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51- Do you want me to take the...? - I've got it.- Are you sure?

0:26:51 > 0:26:55I gave Lucy the cup at the end of the competition

0:26:55 > 0:26:58because I felt a little bit bad

0:26:58 > 0:27:02because I knew that Lucy would be upset because we were spitting,

0:27:02 > 0:27:05I thought that it would be a nice thing to do

0:27:05 > 0:27:07so that she could keep it

0:27:07 > 0:27:10and remember that she had become the British champion.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13- Lucy.- Oh, thank you!

0:27:14 > 0:27:17Josh and Lucy had a fantastic season together,

0:27:17 > 0:27:19they were skating really well.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21There are so many factors that contribute

0:27:21 > 0:27:23to making a successful partnership, but unfortunately,

0:27:23 > 0:27:27not everything that needs to be there is there,

0:27:27 > 0:27:31and it is sad that they are not going to skate together any more,

0:27:31 > 0:27:33but the future is bright for both of them.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36I would hug you, but I know you don't... Oh, thanks.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42Next time on Ice Stars:

0:27:44 > 0:27:48Destiny leaves net minding behind to take on yet another scary challenge.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51This is it. Can't back out now.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53- We're going to do it, OK?- Yes.

0:27:55 > 0:27:59It is really tough, and it's like against the best people in England.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01I'm with you, OK? Come on, Joshy.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04And Josh and Kloe take on their toughest battle yet.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07I don't want to watch any of the other girls,

0:28:07 > 0:28:10but obviously I'm going to be here to watch Josh.
