HAYLEY HAS ICE PARTY
ISLANDERS are in for a real treat next weekend when Dancing on Ice 2010 winners Hayley Tamaddon and Daniel Whiston join Kyran Bracken and friends for ‘Ice Party Champions’ at Ryde’s Planet Ice.
And two lucky Gazette readers will get the chance to meet and greet with the couple at their Saturday (September 3) performance.
Ex soap star Hayley shot to fame in Dancing on Ice with partner Dan for their amazing routine to the song ‘Jai Ho’ from the film Slumdog Millionaire. The set achieved sixes across the board from the judges, a first for any couple in the contest, and the duo then went on to win Dancing on Ice 2010.
“We’ll be doing Jai Ho as it’s our iconic routine,” said Hayley. “But we’ve got something completely new up our sleeves. It’s to a Queen track and we haven’t done it before, which is exciting.
“Dan is my lifelong skating partner now,” laughed Hayley, who hadn’t even skated until October last year. “I’d never even had a lesson, although I have sung, danced and acted,” she explained.
Co-incidentally Hayley and Dan had known each other since they were only 12 years old. “I told the organisers that we knew each other and they said they wouldn’t put us together to start off with, but it became inevitable that we’d end up skating together,” she said.
“This will be our first show with Kyran and I’m really looking forward to coming to the Isle of Wight as I’ve never been before.
“We’ll be teaching a master class on the Friday night that people can book spaces on, where people can get quality teaching time with both of us. Then during Saturday’s show we will perform two routines together and there will also be group routines in the show.
“It’s difficult to fit in the skating as I’m also touring with the musical ‘Spamalot’, said Hayley. “But we are getting a couple of days on the Island so I’m hoping to get out and about when I’m not skating or training.
“I’ve been asked if I want to go horse riding on the beach, which I’d love to do.”
