Joined by some girl friends, the newly-single socialite, 27, showed off her ice-skating skills at the launch of Tiffany & Co. Presents Skate at Somerset House.

Perhaps demonstrating she was no stranger to ice-skating, Miss Middleton managed to glide around quite gracefully without falling over.
After enjoying a twirl on the ice, Pippa and the rest of the attendees watched singer Emeli Sande light up the Christmas tree before performing an acoustic set.

It was claimed former cricketer Loudon was uncomfortable with Pippa's newfound celebrity since her sister Duchess Catherine's wedding to Prince William in April.
A friend said: 'The plain truth is Alex adored Pippa but he couldn’t stand the circus that now surrounds her. Nothing is straightforward anymore.'
