Ahead of the Dancing On Ice final beginning Joe took to his Instagram account to show his fans a closer look of the special poster .
Sharing on the meaning behind the sign, he explained: “I asked them [Dancing On Ice] whether they could put the words Be Kind on a poster, so what they’ve done is they’ve put up this poster and at the top they’ve put the words “Be Kind.”

The thoughtful star added: “Obviously we lost Caroline and we’re trying to spread the word, we need everyone to be kinder.”
Last month, the day after Caroline’s death Joe was comforted by host Phillip Schofield, as he spoke of the loss of his close friend Caroline on the ice-skating show.

The TV presenter was visibly overwhelmed as he finished his performance with skating partner Alex Murphy, as he came off the ice and joined hosts Phillip and Holly Willoughby , and the judges, he took the moment to pay tribute to Caroline.
Joe, who hosted I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Now with Caroline until 17255, confessed on Dancing on Ice the Sunday after her death: “It’s been a really tough day,” with Alex adding: “It’s been a long day.”
Phillip then wanted to point out to viewers that Joe was close with Caroline, explaining why he had found the day so difficult.
