It was a shock to see Pamela go; she was such a lovely woman. After the cameras stopped rolling we all said goodbye to her and gave her a bouquet of flowers as a thank you for taking part. Once I’d said goodbye to her I walked hand in hand with to our dressing rooms before briefly leaving him to change out of the dress and put on my nightie. When I was changed I joined Chris in his room (again we were staying over at the Studio.) We both collapsed onto the bed. Chris had his arms around me and I had my head and hand on his chest. Within minutes I fell asleep... The next morning when I woke up I was still in the same position and Chris was still in the show clothes.
“Morning beautiful.” Chris said sensing that I was awake
“Morning.” I said smiling.
“Chris, why are you still in your show clothes?” I asked
“I didn’t want to disturb my sleeping beauty.” He said stretching and kissing my cheek.
“Aw.” I said laughing and kissing him back.
Eventually we got up and got dressed. Jayne was going to be back in 2 days so myself and Chris got some more us time. Once we were changed we walked down to the rink to begin the choreography. It was the first time I have choreographed just myself and Chris. It was just going to be the two of us and the beautifully empty ice. We were having so much fun.
We were just so distracted however we managed to come up with a few amazing routines before calling a break. We skated to the side of the rink to take a short break.
“I love you.” Chris said putting his hand on my waist
“I love you too.” I said placing my arms around his neck.
He leant forward and kissed me passionately. I deepened the kiss and we just stood there, so in love and happy. Chris’s hands wandered my fully clothed body. Even in a place so cold the temperature was rapidly rising. The kissing got faster and more lustful as time went on. We were just lost in our own little world...
A few minutes later we finally broke apart and reluctantly went back to the choreography. The rest of the session didn’t go too badly. We had accomplished the rest of the routines needed for the couples. Yet again we decided to stay at the rink ready for tomorrow, the last session without Jayne. We both returned to Chris’s dressing room for 10:30pm worn out and shattered. The next morning when we woke up we rushed down to the rink to start early in the hope to finish early aswell. It was our last day without Jayne so we needed to make each minute count. When we got onto the ice Beth and Dan were waiting for us in the centre. We skated over to them and began our warm up. Once we had all finished me and Chris began to teach the routine. It was the most complex one choreographed as Beth was one of our highly advanced celebrity skaters. We began by teaching them a lift where Beth is above Dan’s head in the splits; one leg in each hand. Chris and Dan both lifted me and Beth into the position before spinning quickly around on one foot. Things went slightly downhill from there... Dan and Chris were too close together and crashed into each other. Beth crashed onto the ice with a bang and Chris clung to me to stop me falling but I felt Dan’s blade collide with my knee. Chris gently placed me down onto the ice noticing that I was hurt. Beth had sat up and had grazes on her shoulders and seemed to be slightly stiff from the fall. Chris and Dan crouched down near me and Beth.
“Are you too okay?” Dan asked worried
“Just a few cuts and bruises.” Beth said slowly getting on her feet and skating towards me
“Kaz?” Dan asked turning to face me.
I had my hand over my knee and as I drew it back it was covered in blood.
“I’ll get a paramedic.” Dan said getting up. “Beth, we’ll get you checked over too.” Beth followed him leaving just me and Chris.
Chris sat down on the ice next to me and wrapped his arms around my shoulders. He placed his free hand over mine and we just waited for the paramedics. Eventually they arrived with Dan behind them. I tried to stand up, and with the help of Chris and Dan, managed to get to a room where I could be checked over. Luckily the cut hadn’t gone too deep so I got away without needing stitches. They bandaged my knee up and told me to take it easy and not skate for a week. They also gave me a pair of crutches to take the weight off it. I stood up on my crutches and left the medical room with Chris’s arm around me to support me. Beth and Dan met us outside the medical room. Beth had been treated for minor cuts and bruises and everybody said she had got off lightly. I limped back into the rink; Chris was carrying my skates for me.
“Should we call it a day here?” Chris said looking at Beth Dan and me.
“Yeah I don’t think anyone’s up for skating after that.” Dan said
We all said our goodbyes before me and Chris went back to his dressing room. I lay down on the bed as Chris put my crutches by the side of the bed before lying next to me.
“I’m sorry gorgeous.” Chris said.
“Hey, accidents happen darling.” I said kissing his cheek
I picked my phone up from the side table and texted Jayne
Hey Jayne, hoping u r well, involved in accident at rink blade sliced knee. Not doing 2 bad, on crutches and bandaged up stopped session early. Will speak 2 u tomorrow xxx
I almost instantly got a reply back
Hey Kaz, I’m doing alright. You poor thing! Take it easy and listen 2 the medics; I know what you’re like! See u tomorrow, tell Chris 2 take 2morrow off 2 look after his girl xxx
I smiled and showed Chris the text I had just received. I then texted back a quick reply
Thanks J, Very grateful xxx
I then turned my phone off and relaxed. We were still going to stay at the Studio overnight again so we could inform Jayne about all that she had missed but as neither of us our now not working we were going to drive home after we’ve spoken to her. But for now I just relaxed with my man. The time ticked by and before I knew it, it was 10:00pm. I tried to sleep but my knee kept hurting and burning.
“Are you alright darling?” Chris said talking hold of my hand under the covers.
“Just my knee babe.” I said “it feels like it’s on fire.”
I turned over to face him. He ran his fingers through my hair gently.
“I love you.” He said genuinely.
“I love you too.” I said snuggling into him.
Half an hour later I finally fell asleep in Chris’s arms

The next day I woke up in agony with my knee. I sat up in bed. A minute or so later Chris sat up aswell and held me in his arms.
“You in pain again sweet?” Chris said.
“Yeah a little.” I replied leaning into him
It was 7:30 so we would normally be getting up at this time anyway. I stayed with Chris on the bed for a little while before we went to get ready. Chris used the bathroom first and came out 20 minutes later ready to go. He came over to me and helped me with my crutches. Eventually I was ready to so we both sat down and waited for Jayne.
A few minutes later there was a knock at the door. Chris got up and answered, I heard Jayne’s voice and then she walked in and hugged me tightly.
“I’ve missed you.” I said smiling.
“Missed you too Kaz.” Jayne said smiling back
“How are you?” I asked as Jayne sat down on the bed next to me.
“Great thanks. More to the point how are you?” Jayne said glancing down at my bandaged knee.
“Not bad, it’s just painful.” I replied as Chris joined us and wrapped his arms around me.
“Aw, you two take the day off work.” Jayne said referring to me and Chris.
After we had all had a good catch up me and Chris left to go home. It took a while for me to get into the car however when I did we had a smooth journey back. We pulled up outside Chris’s house and we both went in. Chris settled me down on the sofa before sitting down next to me. We turned on the TV and relaxed; making the most of our day off. It felt strange not skating but I suppose I would have to get used to it for the rest of the week.
Later in the week I was finally back to my normal self. My knee had healed and I was off the crutches. We had just finished work for the evening and it was a Friday. Tomorrow would be the next live show on Dancing on Ice. I was sitting on Chris’s lap upstairs on the bed
“I love you Kaz.” He said planting kisses down my neck.
“I love you too.” I said kissing him passionately.

It was Saturday morning. The day of the Dancing on Ice show. I was woken up at 9:00 in the morning by someone knocking loudly at the door; Chris had got up early to go to the gym so I wrapped a dressing gown around me and walked downstairs. I opened the door and to my surprise I saw Nicky on the other side. Instantly I knew something was wrong. Nicky was always a very strong character and it had always been that way. However as I looked at him I noticed his face was tear stained and his eyes were full of sadness.
“Nicky, are you okay?” I asked letting him in and locking the door again.
“Kaz I don’t know what to do.” He said looking down
“What’s happened eh?” I asked.
“Mum passed away this morning.” Nicky said
“God no! Not Joan...” I said as a tear rolled down my cheek
Joan was a very special woman to me. She coached me and Nicky when we first started out competing. She was more than a coach to me though, she was like a second mother, a friend, someone who I could trust and rely on no matter what... I dried my eyes on the corner of my dressing room.
“Come here Kaz.” Nicky said hugging me. I just stood there and cried on his shoulder. Nicky must have been trying to be strong as he knew how bad I’d take it.
“We’re organising the funeral in a couple of days.” Nicky said quietly.
“Let me know when it is.” I said
“No problem.”
10 minutes later Nicky had to leave. I reassured him I’d be okay and then he left. I couldn’t go back to bed after that. I just sat on the sofa and cried. I needed Chris... I needed Joan back...
I heard the door open and Chris walked into the room.
“Karen darling?” He said sitting down next to me concerned
“Nicky’s just been round.” I said looking into his eyes. “Joan passed away this morning.”
“Oh Kaz.” Chris said holding me tight
He understood how much Joan meant to me.
I spent the rest of the day moping around the house before having to get ready for Dancing on Ice. After the news about Joan I was in a very touchy mood. The only person I wanted to be with was Chris.
I changed at home for the show; I came downstairs wearing a black above the knee dress and a pair of nude stilettos. When Chris was also ready we got into the car and drove to the Studios. When we arrived Chris parked in his normal spot and we walked hand in hand into the studios. We went straight to hair and makeup and began to get ready. For the first time in a long while I didn’t feel like I was looking forward to the show. The hair and makeup department did my hair in loose curls and subtle makeup.
Suddenly it was time to go live. I reluctantly walked into the rink holding hands with Chris. I left and took my seat next to Nicky on the panel
“Karen you look shattered.” Nicky said looking at me.
“You too.” I said laughing weakly.
“We’ll all get through this you know.” Nicky said
“I know, I know it’ll just take time.” I said drying my eyes again.
Feel like this update was all doom and gloom. Anyway hope you enjoyed and more soon (P.S it will get happy again)

I tried my best to be my normal self on the show, laughing and smiling but deep down I was hurting. Eventually we hit the half an hour break so I went and sat with Chris while Jayne chatted to the other celebrities. Nicky hadn’t told them yet but was planning to after the show.
“Are you okay darling.”Chris said quietly
I nodded and smiled weakly before he put his arms around me.
After the break I left Chris and sat back at the judging panel ready to see who was in the skate off. The couples all got onto the ice and lined up waiting to find out their fate. Eventually we found out the 2 in the Skate off were Lauren and Michael against Anthea and Andrew. Lauren looked devastated. I was close to both of the girls so this was going to be a hard decision. Anthea was up first and she delivered a nearly faultless performance. Lauren however did not have the same look. After Lauren had performed they both stood by our desk with their partners. Jason was first to comment.
“Well first of all Lauren you have the sensuality of a walrus on ice.” Jason said harshly.
The audience booed and Lauren’s eyes filled with tears.
I glared at Jason and wondered whether or not to say anything. On a normal day I would have snapped at him but I just didn’t have the energy. Everyone voted to save Anthea. Lauren looked down upset. As the cameras stopped rolling I got up out of my chair and congratulated Anthea before hugging Lauren and saying goodbye. Now I had to do the one thing I didn’t want to do. Tell everyone about Joan. I found Chris and Nicky and went to tell everyone. For a change everyone involved in Dancing on Ice had decided to meet up and have a drink at the studios so we were going to tell them there. I walked into the room followed by Chris and Nicky.
“Can I just have your attention for a moment?” Nicky said above the chatter.
The room fell silent and everybody turned to look at the three of us. I felt Chris put his arms around me to support me.
“I’m sorry to have to tell you all this at such a happy time however Mum passed away this morning.” Nicky said looking down. “Her funerals going to be Tuesday morning.”He added trying to hold himself together.
The room went silent, virtually everybody here knew Joan; she was such a lovely lady.
Tears rolled down my cheek and Chris held me closer.
“To Mum.” Nicky said raising his glass.
“To Joan.” Everyone echoed.
The next day I woke up for training. I hadn’t had chance to speak to anybody after Nicky’s announcement as me and Chris went back to his dressing room Once we were both ready we waited rink side for Jayne. 10 minutes later she emerged from down the corridor and came and sat next to us.
“I’m so sorry Kaz; I know how much Joan meant to you.” Jayne said hugging me. ”Give Nicky my love.”
“I will.” I said smiling weakly.
We started the week’s choreography but I found I couldn’t concentrate very well. God knows how Nicky was coping
It was Tuesday afternoon. We had just got back from the funeral and to be absolutely truthful I was glad it was all over. I got changed and sat down on the sofa with Chris.
“Thanks so much for helping me through this.” I said snuggling into him
“No problem Princess.” He said kissing my forehead.
I was hoping all the upset and trauma was over now.
The next day we met Jayne at the rink and began another hard session of training. We got a lot of work done and finally the routines were coming together well. By the midday break we were all worn out. We all collapsed onto the bench and stayed there for a little while. Eventually we summoned up the energy to move of the bench and continue with the choreography. At the end of the days training we said goodbye and me and Chris drove back home. When we got home I walked into the living room and relaxed ready for tomorrow. Tomorrow was mine and Dan’s skate school at Cleevleys Sub Zero. I was so excited. I always looked forward to the skate schools because you get to meet so many amazing people.
The next morning I woke up early and got changed into my black leggings, black vest top and white fleece, put on my white slip-ons and picked up my skate bag.
“Bye darling.” I said kissing Chris passionately.
“I’ll miss you.” He said smiling.
“I’ll be back tonight.” I said smiling back.
I kissed him one finally time before walking out onto the pavement and waiting for Dan to arrive. A few minutes later he pulled up in his car and I got in.
“Hey Kaz.” He said
“Hi, are you alright?” I asked
“Yeah thanks. You?” He replied
“Yes thanks, have you got the hoodies?” I questioned
“Yep there in the back.” He said smiling.
We arrived at Sub Zero a couple of hours later and began to unload everything from the boot of Dan’s car. We had exactly an hour before the skate school started and considering we had set up nothing we were going to be rushed of our feet. We carried everything in and began to set up in the room overlooking the rink.
Hope you enjoy. More soon maybe Tuesday as at rink tomorrow evening xxxx
