Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean hold farewell show
The iconic duo, who are from Nottingham themselves, have been skating together for around 50 years. It was 41 years ago that they won gold at the 1984 Winter Games. Now, the pair has taken part in their final ice skating show, with fans left "emotional" after the event. Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean have retired (Image: Jonathan Brady/PA Wire) Torvill and Dean's farewell show was at the Nottingham Arena, bringing their stellar career to an end in the city where it started. Their performance came just days after a rink at the National Ice Centre in the city was named after them. The show was the last as part of their "Our Last Dance" farewell tour, which began in London in April. It has been at nine venues across the country. The now-household name most notably won gold at the Sarajevo 1984 Winter Olympics. They became the highest-scoring figure skaters of all time for a single programme. Since 2018, they have been Head Judges on Dancing on Ice, alongside Judges Ashley Banjo and Oti Mabuse. The ice skating pair took to social media to share a picture of themselves following their final show. It was posted with the caption: "We've just danced Bolero for the final time. Thank you, Nottingham. #OurLastDance." A post shared by Torvill and Dean (@torvillanddeanofficial) Fellow Dancing on Ice Judge Ashley Banjo replied: "Icons… Thank you for everything guys." Other fans also took to the comments to thank the duo. One said: "What a beautifully happy photo. An amazing, amazing and emotional last performance. Feel honoured to have seen it. My heart is melted." Another replied: "What a privilege it was seeing this whole show live, truly incredible. Thank you." A third fan said: "What an amazing and emotional evening - still crazy after all these years. Thank you for a lifetime of memories." Torvill and Dean announced their retirement from skating last year, revealing that they would be touring one final time. On announcing their retirement, Dean said: 'I think there comes a time when you know. Recommended reading: 'We're not spring chickens any more but we're still able to do it to a certain degree that we feel good about it but that will go. 'So I think this is the right time for us to be able to do that and go and skate and do some of the old routines, be very nostalgic, but then do some new fun, upbeat (dances) with friends of ours from the skating world and from Dancing On Ice. 'We're looking at it as a celebration.'
