In week 9 of the competition, Laura captained a team in the 'team challenge'. The judges decided her group's performance was the better of the two and thus, every skater in her team had their points doubled, therefore Laura and Colin's score for week 9 was 57.0 out of a possible 60.
They were only the fourth couple in Dancing on Ice history to achieve a perfect score of 30.0 out of 30.0 when they performed their favourite routine to 'I'm So Excited' in the Final. They came second place overall. She also took part in the Dancing on Ice Tour along with Ratushniak.
