TV presenter and actor Tim Vincent, 35, has a particularly unique worry about his Dancing On Ice training – that of protecting certain parts of his anatomy during a certain move.

“There’s a manoeuvre that I have to do where I pull Victoria my partner through my legs. I have to keep remembering to stand as
tall as possible as I pull her through otherwise she hits me right you know where.This isn’t very nice on the ice and can really hurt. It’s certainly a sharp reminder for the next time to stand up tall.”

With a successful career in Los Angeles,currently presenting a regular slot on NBC’s Access Hollywood as well as a brand new show called Phenomenon,Tim has to fit in training in between transatlantic flights, as he lives in New York.

“At one point I did 75 hours flying time in 7 weeks. LA to New York to London every single week and so my training has been minimal. Minimal and miserable because I was getting up at 6am to try and do an hour and a half on the ice which was basically just skating around and getting used to being on the ice and not really learning anything. Now I’m back on track with three hours of training a day. Chris and Jayne are so nice and the coaches are so encouraging.You do baby steps and then they point out a week ago you wouldn’t have been able to do what you’re doing now which is true.You’ve got to ignore how good the other people are and just concentrate on your own situation.” Read more & comment »
