The stars are taking to the ice rink in the latest celebrity reality challenge
For most of us, ice-skating is a sport we tried at school, then left behind with our teen dreams and text books. But that could change when we watch Skating On Thin Ice, a scary new prospect for the stars who’ve signed up.
“I’m very nervous,” admits designer Peter Everett, who’s far more comfortable with a paintbrush on shows like Renovation Rescue. “They told me, ‘Pete, it’s for the kids.’ I said, ‘I don’t have kids.’ They said, ‘No, the CanTeen kids!’ So it’s a good cause – I have to do it!”
Olympic skaters from around the world will put the stars through their paces for hours each day, and they’ll also be doing weight-lifting, and dance classes at the Sydney Dance Company. It’s all in preparation for a live show at the end of the series, ticket proceeds of which will go to CanTeen, an organisation that helps kids living with cancer. But right now, Peter’s just hoping it will help him lose weight.

Looking forward to the show! Should be really popular... you're going to end up really sore if you keep falling over though, so stay on your feet!
Stay dry on the ice... seeing you on our screens will have the opposite effect on me....lol

It is good to see the team getting on so well and supporting each other.
I think your skills are slowly building.
If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion you may wish to see Tim or Liz about.
A easy excersie that beginner skaters can do that helps build confidence and one the ice hockey players do is called a 'Step over'
That is arms out strecthed in front with square sholders, if it helps hold a stick out front to help keep your body square and then take a few steps to the left, stop and then right (perhaps a dozen or so) whilst still looking to the front. The idea is to move sideways across the ice. this helps build confidence when lifting your feet and helps develop cross overs.
importantly always remember to have FUN despite the falls, strains and pains.
Hope to see you on the ice one day.
Tim
that sounds like fun being a famous
