Liberty Poole was almost as excited as her mum when she got offered a place on Dancing On Ice.
The 22-year-old Love Island star, who won the nation's hearts in the villa last summer, was supported in her journey by her lookalike mum Jo Poole.
Now Jo is backing her daughter to be a success on the ice, with the pair watching the series together when Liberty was just eight-years-old.
"My mum was through-the-roof ecstatic. She’s such a huge fan of the show. I’d even go so far as to say she’s a super-fan," Liberty told The Mirror last month.
"I FaceTimed her when I was with Torvill and Dean and I think she shed tears of joy.
"When she meets them in person that will be a magical moment. She’ll probably try to get her skates on when I’m performing!

Whoever was running Liberty’s Instagram while she was in the villa was happy to highlight how stunning Liberty's mother is and posted a snap of the pair together.
They even joked that then her ex Jake Cornish might fancy both mother and daughter, writing on Instragram: "Oi @jakecornish7 keep your eyes off of Liberty’s beautiful Mum @jopoolex" alongside a Rolling On The Floor Laughing emoji.
Jo set up her own Instagram account in order to support her daughter during her time on the show and snapped up hundreds of followers.
Announcing her debut post, she wrote: "1st post on Instagram to tell everyone that my beautiful, smart & hilarious daughter/ best mate @libertypoolex is on THE LOVE ISLAND."
Jo even seemed to confirm she is heading into the Love Island villa after revealing she was on her way to Majorca.
"Seeing Lib so upset last night has broken my heart. I'm feeling her pain," she wrote after Liberty was left in tears over her split from Jake.
"She's about to get the biggest cuddle of her life! I'm on my way."
Liberty has been improving every week on the ice and has quickly become a fan favourite.
When explaining some of her reasons for taking part in the show, Liberty explained that she wanted to show a different side to her personality.
Speaking before the series started, she said: " Love Island ’s very focused on you in a relationship, so people see the vulnerable side and obviously you falling in love.
"But I feel like viewers didn’t get to see my personality. With Dancing On Ice, you’ll see me being myself, rather than what I’m like being with someone.
*Dancing on Ice airs tonight on ITV at 6pm
