YOUNGSTERS from across Trafford were given a chance to skate with two professionals from TV's Dancing on Ice.

The three girls, Flixton's Codie Short, 12, and Timperley sisters Tabitha Ozard, 8, and Tilly, 12, got an exclusive invite to skate with leading professionals Sylvain Longchambon and Katie Stainsby.

The trio, who are members of the Altrincham Ice Rink Club, were given their big chance last week, at the opening of the Selfridges Ice Rink, at the The Trafford Centre.

Coach Sam Ozard said “It was a great opportunity for the skaters to have a fun lesson with both Katie and Sylvain and show off their own skating skills.Tabitha said it was awesome to be lifted so high by Slyvain."
