José Hoebee & Simon Crowhurst

The media have recently confirmed José  Hoebée's participation in SBS 6 figure skating competition "Sterren Dansen Op Het Ijs". The TV program is hosted by Gerard Joling and Tess Milne. It features 13 couples composed of figure skaters and Dutch celebrities. Each duo will have to demonstrate a specific figure skating skill and will receive scores for technical merit and artistic impression from three judges (Patricia Paay, Maurice Wijnen and Jody Bernal). 

On December 18th, the competitors of the 2013 edition were presented to the press:

José's partner is the Dutch-British figure skater Simon Crowhurst who has been working for Holiday On Ice for 12 years. The songstress was informed about her presence in the competition at the last moment because of the sudden withdrawal of Bonnie St. Claire. She is currently training hard in order to make up for lost time. 

Here's a short video of the former Luv’ singer telling her impressions:

Moreover, the artist posted a message on her official fansite on December 19th. She expressed her satisfaction of being part of the show. 

SBS 6 will air the first episode of "Sterren Dansen Op Het Ijs" on January 5th at 9.00 pm. The channel will also broadcast a New Year's Special of the family show on January 1st at 8.30 pm.
