Travelling up North for the week to spend Christmas with her two beautiful daughters and I belive the 3 girls went on a shopping spree together.

Towards the end of the week Karen went with best friend Jayne Torvill to the BBC Sports Personality Awards. Both women look stunning as usual and it looked like they had a great time there too.

The Nutcracker & Streatham Ice Rink...

A subject that I'm quite familiar with myself at the moment studying it in dance The Nutcracker, Karen was lucky enough to go along to see the opening of Matthew Bourne's version of The Nutcraker. Apparentally it was very good and I'm also lucky enough to go and see it in the New Year too!

Old memories came back to Karen this week when she was working at Streatham ice rink which is being pulled down soon.

Christmas holidays has started for most people now hope everyone has fun and enjoys the holidays. Even though it is Christmas next week I will hopefully still be updating, Happy Christmas everyone!

WITW and an Early Xmas...

It's been an exciting week for Karen working at the office and the first three routines for the new series of Dancing On Ice have been choreographed.

And we have also found out this week that Karen will be head coach and returning to the judging panel in the New Year for DOI along side Louie Spence, Robin Cousins and Katarina Witt. All very exciting and brilliant news that Karen is back on the panel, Dancing on Ice will be returning to our screens (England) on January 8th 2012!

Sorry there wasn't much to write again hopefully in a few weeks after Christmas when the New series of Dancing on Ice starts there will be. X 



Early mornings and Christmas shopping!

So at the beginning of the week Karen was feeling a little tired from the very early start and was off to another ice rink but did have a fun week on the ice with Alexandra Schuman and Jodeyne Higgins during coaching sessions. Karen also tweeted at the end of week progress has been made so our celebrities for 2012 must be doing very well.

Even though the early starts all through the week it doesn't stop Karen from working out at the gym and going swimming good on you Karen I wouldn't be able to do that and you defiantly deserved the relax at the end of it all in the jaccuzzi.

And I nice weekend Christmas shopping and too end it all bath, jamas and wine!!!

Karen also appeared in Best magazine this week the Christmas issue and looked stunning.

Hope everyone managed to get Dancing On Ice 2012 live tour tickets this week when they went on sale too got mine and very pleased with my seat! x

Another busy week!

Sorry I wasn't able to update the blog last week as my laptop broke got a new one yesterday so its all ok now. 

So looks like Karen has had another busy last two weeks with the Dancing on Ice training that has started then going out to her favourite restaurant with her daughter and was on the tube with Eileens fireman out of corrie.

Second week of training came around quick and Karen was off to another Ice rink  saying how pleased she is already with the progress of the celebs for the new series and, it looks like Karen has made a start on her Christmas list telling best friend Jayne that she would like some shoes as an early Christmas present.

Also this week was gteh release of the Dancing On Ice 2011 tour DVD that was very exciting for many of us.

Back in the UK...

Earlier on today Karen arrived back in the UK after a couple of weeks away in America and spent the day getting organised ready to start back coaching for the new series of Dancing On Ice, which starts in January and we all can't wait for myself very excited and hope it comes round quick.

(Sorry not been much to write about this week)

America?

A question a lot of us have been asking this week is Karen in America? Well lets have a little look into what she has been up to this week. Last Sunday was a trip to the cinema to see the new film out 50/50 which Karen recommends but added in her tweet at the beginning of the week take the tissues with you.

 

 

 

Usually Karen would be happy to be spectator but on Moday she went bowling for the first time.

 

 

 

 

Yesterday Karen went on a 4 and a 1/2 mile hike getting a Starbucks afterwards as a reward before carving out a pumpkin.

 

 

 

(And here's the pumpkin)

 

 

It looks like Karen has had a very fun and packed week and I think we may have our answer to whether she is away in America after a tweet on Saturday sayting she will be back in a week.
