SEX AND THE CITY star Kim Cattrall is making a family film in Toronto, Canada, as "a valentine" to her young nieces and nephews.

The actress, who turned down the chance to return as man-eater SAMANTHA JONES in a Sex And The City movie, insists she wanted to do something different instead - and signed up to play an iceskating coach in new film ICE PRINCESS.

She says, "I'm spending the summer (04) inside a skating rink, all bundled up from neck to toes, no man in sight.

"My niece and nephew are young and haven't been able to see my work in the past six years. This is a valentine to them."
