When Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson first trained together in Montreal a decade ago, even their coach did not let them know exactly how badly it had gone.
Fear was a junior ice dancer but Gibson was new to the discipline.
He had been a singles skater but turning jumps into jives is not an overnight job.
Now they are the first British figure skaters to win a medal at a World Championships since Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean in 1984 after taking bronze on Saturday.
