01:15for it you know it seems a lot of fun i do like ice skating but i'm not an ice skater you've turned
01:21this down before we've asked you before yes i know because i've been absolutely terrified before
01:27but i feel like my pact that i made with myself when i was 50 which i was this year was i have to
01:34do things to challenge myself for the next couple of years and get out of my comfort zone because i
01:39don't want to get stuck in this thing of like i'm 50 it's such a weird age so yeah this is kind of for
01:46all the 50 year olds out there that think that they can't challenge themselves so you'll feel free to
01:50follow me and watch me do whatever i need to do i don't know i'm actually quite scared now
01:55i bet i bet you are i mean it is a scary thing to do keeping it a secret i imagine has been quite
02:01difficult there's people that will be watching this now that know you personally and don't know
02:04you're doing this that's right yeah even like my daughter she's been traveling so she'll be like
02:10what is going on so yeah i'm excited about that for when she comes back you mentioned uh a moment
02:15ago that you have done a bit of skating and you used to skate when you were little so how much
02:20experience have you actually had um the experience is i used to get on the bus with my mates go up to
02:28the michael soville center you know where that is in holloway i think it's holloway or lee valley ice
02:34rink and it was just something we used to do as kids like it would have been one of the first things
02:38that we were allowed to do without our parents was go ice skating so i did used to go we did used to
02:44kind of do that thing you know skating around fast and do you remember when you used to like
02:48crash into the wall that's the only way i can stop so i don't know if that would be a good idea
02:52we don't have walls there's no walls there's no walls yeah we'll catch you um i'll do a tug
03:00carting exactly um one of the clues of who you were was obviously the dj jess we know how much you

03:12song to skate to i'm going to put in a request for for that yeah i would love to do that if they
03:17were allowed me it would be really nice to skate to some songs that i actually love but a lot of
03:21them are quite upbeat fast and dancey so i don't know if i want to do that because i'll be putting
03:25myself up too much of a challenge i think if i start giving them a load of banging house music

10:44who's going to be absolutely thrilled that they get a bit of training time coming from here and going

11:09you
11:39you
12:09you
12:39you
13:09you
13:35Oh, Patsy, I'm so excited to meet you.
13:47I just can't believe I'm the first one.
13:53I know, I know.
13:54No backing out now.
13:56Thanks for that.
13:57We've revealed you.
13:58Why did you want to do this?
14:00What made you want to take part?
14:02Well, I didn't obviously call them up for a second.
14:05And I'd take part.
14:08Just, you know, out of all the things that came through at that time,
14:14this was the one that I had to really think about.
14:16Obviously, I wanted to challenge myself, get back to work,
14:20get out of my comfort zone.
14:23And I just thought, oh, I'll just go for it.
14:25You know, it seems a lot of fun.
14:27I do like ice skating, but I'm not an ice skater.
14:29I'm a big skater.
14:30You've turned this down before.
14:32We've asked you before.
14:33Yes, I know, because I've been absolutely terrified before.
14:37But I feel like my pact that I made with myself when I was 50,
14:42which I was this year,
14:43was I have to do things to challenge myself for the next couple of years
14:47and get out of my comfort zone,
14:48because I don't want to get stuck in this thing of like,
14:51I'm 50.
14:52It's such a weird age.
14:54So, yeah, this is kind of for all the 50-year-olds out there
14:57that think that they can't challenge themselves.
14:59So, feel free to follow me and watch me do whatever I need to do.
15:03I'm definitely quite scared now.
15:06I bet you are.
15:07I mean, it is a scary thing to do.
15:09Keeping it a secret, I imagine, has been quite difficult.
15:11There's people that will be watching this now that know you personally
15:13and don't know you're doing this.
15:15That's right, yeah.
15:16Even like my daughter, she's been travelling,
15:19so she'll be like, what is going on?
15:21So, yeah, I'm excited about that for when she comes back.
15:23You mentioned a moment ago that you have done a bit of skating,
15:27and you used to skate when you were little.
15:29So, how much experience have you actually had?
15:34The experience is I used to get on the bus with my mates,
15:37go up to the Michael Sovel Centre, you know where that is,
15:41in Holloway, I think it's Holloway, or Lee Valley Ice Rink,
15:44and it was just something we used to do as kids,
15:46like it would have been one of the first things
15:48that we were allowed to do without our parents,
15:50was go ice skating.
15:52So, I did used to go, we did used to kind of do that thing,
15:55you know, skating around fast,
15:56and do you remember when you used to, like, crash into the wall?
15:59That's the only way I can stop.
16:01So, I don't know if that would be a good idea.
16:02Well, we don't have walls.
16:04There's no walls in the building on ice ice cream,
16:06so please don't do that.
16:07We'll catch you.
16:09I'll do a ton cart here and skate on.
16:11Exactly.
16:11One of the clues of who you were was, obviously, the DJ Jets.
16:16We know how much you love DJing and you love your music.
16:18I love it.
16:19In your head, are you thinking,
16:20well, actually, that's a good song to skate to,
16:22I'm going to put in a request for that?
16:25Yeah, I would love to do that.
16:26If they were allowed me,
16:27it would be really nice to skate to some songs
16:29that I actually love,
16:30but a lot of them are quite upbeat, fast, and dancey,
16:33so I don't know if I want to do that,
16:34because I'll be putting myself up too much of a challenge,
16:36I think, if I start giving them a load of banging house music
16:39of you, having to get round the IFL.
16:43Well, looking at where you are currently,
16:46how are you going to do the training here?
16:49I mean, you moved away a little while ago.
16:52That's home.
16:52That's the base.
16:54Lovely way of life.
16:56But obviously, you're going to have to come back,
16:58at least for the period of the show.
16:59I am going to come back,
17:00but I'll be training, yeah,
17:02I'll be training in Los Angeles,
17:04so I feel really blessed about that.
17:06That was another reason why it was, you know,
17:08it worked out this time,
17:09is that they said there's a rink in Los Angeles,
17:12so I can train here,
17:13which is going to be fantastic,
17:15so I don't have to be away from the kids for too long.
17:17So there's going to be a pro
17:19who's going to be absolutely thrilled
17:21that they get a bit of training time
17:23coming from here and going over there.
17:26I'm sure if they have to travel to here,
17:29but I think that they have a lot of pros here.
17:31Well, not as special as well.
17:32I'm not too sure.
17:34Our famous ones.
17:35We'll have to wait and see.
17:36Another big draw for doing this show always
17:38is just the chance to get to work with
17:40Torblandine as well,
17:42and since you were little,
17:43you've been a big fan of theirs.
17:45Yeah, I mean, you know,
17:47that's kind of all we had, wasn't it,
17:49when we were little,
17:50I'm showing my age definitely now,
17:51that, you know, when it came on
17:53and it was a big thing when they did that,
17:55I don't even know what year that was
17:56when they did their big dance.
17:58Was it like a tango or something like that
18:00that they did?
18:01The big bolero?
18:03Yes, that was it, yeah.
18:05So it was just exciting, you know,
18:08all those things were exciting.
18:09When we were kids,
18:10we didn't have a lot of choice,
18:11which in some ways,
18:12I wish that it could go back to that now
18:15for our children, really.
18:16Absolutely.
18:16And what about being judged?
18:18How competitive are you with yourself?
18:22I'm not competitive,
18:23but I've just said this time,
18:25I'm just going to say,
18:26let's try and win it.
18:29It's a competition,
18:30but I don't know how you would do that.
18:32I'm just going to focus really hard
18:34on the training,
18:36really, really use what I've been doing,
18:38meditation for quite a long time,
18:40and just see if that really does have the benefits
18:43that I hope it does now.
18:45This will really put it all to the test for me
18:47because this is a real challenge for me.
18:49Patsy, enjoy it, you know.
18:51I hope it's the adventure that you want to.
18:52Oh, thank you,

19:17I have to not take the physical list
19:21with photos on it,
19:22and both of us literally look at it,
19:23and then we put it away.
19:25We left it down.
19:26Yeah.
