Kate Gosselin took our ET cameras backstage at the "Skating with the Stars" premiere, getting the stars to open up about their cold feet.

Rebecca Budig topped the score board with a 45, but she told Kate that she was nervous when the two met in the bathroom before the show.

"I was panicked," said Rebecca, explaining the difficulty she had getting back into her outfit in time for her performance.

"Did I fall and I don't realize it," Bethenny Frankel asked, reacting to the 29 out of 60 points that the judges awarded her. "But I don't even care. We got through it. We had the best time… I'm happy with whatever we get."

The judges gave Vince Neil the lowest score of the night, 28, and he also expected a more favorable outcome: "I thought we did a lot better than what the judges thought we did," said the rock star.

Some of the worst tumbles last night happened off the ice. Sean Young, who achieved 34 points, confessed that while she changed out of her costume she fell and hurt her knee.

Kate admitted to Brandon Mychal Smith that she watches the actor on Disney's "Sonny with a Chance" with her eight kids.

"Are they voting for me?" Brandon asked. Kate stayed neutral, changing the subject to the skater's performance.

"We had a great time," said Brandon, who scored a 36. "We left it all on the ice. The crowd loved us… I'm satisfied entirely."

Kate admitted to Jonny Moseley that she can't ice skate, but there may be hope for her kids in winter sports. Jonny offered to take all of Kate's children skiing, saying, "That would be interesting to see eight kids the same age learn at the same time… I'll be able to pick the Olympian out of there."

Watch "Skating with the Stars" next Monday on ABC.
