In April they embarked on the UK leg of their farewell tour, Torvill And Dean: Our Last Dance, which culminated with four performances in their home town of Nottingham.
Following their final performance together, Dean, 66, said: 'The performance went well and the audience were amazing and so, for us, to be able to bow out on a high like that was wonderful.'
Asked if it had been emotional, Dean said: 'These last four performances here in Nottingham, the early ones were quite emotional and I think I sort of got that out of me, and tonight, it was a high.
'We enjoyed it so much. The skating was good from our point of view, but the audience were phenomenal. They were the best audience ever.'
Torvill, 67, said: 'I think we'll miss it.
'When you've done all these shows like this, and you're suddenly home, not doing anything, you miss that adrenaline rush and you miss the excitement of being on the ice, whether it's a practice session or a performance.'
Torvill promised they would be working on other projects but said they will not be skating on the ice together.
The duo secured an Olympic gold in 1984 with their ice dance to Ravel's Bolero at the Zetra Olympic Hall in Sarajevo.
They also had success at the World, European and British Championships and returned to the Winter Games at Lillehammer in Norway in 1994 where they won bronze.
After they bowed out from competitive skating they branched out into touring, coaching and choreographing before becoming the faces of celebrity competition show Dancing On Ice, which ran from 2006 until 2014.
When the show was revived in 2018 they became head judges until earlier this year when ITV announced it would be rested.
Their farewell tour of London, Belfast, Sheffield, Birmingham, Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow included a team of professional figure skaters, some of whom have featured on Dancing On Ice.

Love Island's Yasmin's secret twin sister Zara leaves ITV viewers in stitches as she recreates some of her sibling's most iconic one-liners
Love Island's Yasmin Pettet's twin sister Zara has sent ITV viewers into a frenzy as she recreated some of her sibling's most memorable one liners. The reality star, 24, has stirred trouble in the villa as one of the most iconic bombshells with her savage catchphrases. And now that she has become a fan favourite, her sister has taken to her TikTok to share a montage of her mimicking some of her best moments. In a clip posted to social media, she recreated the moment when the Islander told Harry to 'shut the f*** up and kiss her' in the Hideaway. She then continued by recreating the moment when Yasmin slammed Ben during a heated row as she delivered this line: 'Waste my money, waste whatever, don't f***ing waste my time.' And the clip was welcomed by fans of Yasmin as they flocked to the comments sharing their surprise between their similarities. One penned: ' I thought Yasmin got dumped and i missed a whole episode you look just like her. 'The mannerisms, the laugh, the voice? You guys are definitely related'; 'NO COS YOU ARE HER'; 'She looks like Yasmin more than Yasmin looks like Yasmin…' 'Slayyy and this woman is an Oxford grad!!!'; 'YOUR HER TWIN'; 'Vote for Yasmin and Jamie guys'; 'I wasn't a fan at first but now I'm starting to think she's iconic'. This comes after Love Island viewers were left stunned on Saturday night, after Yasmin appeared to directly address a popular fan conspiracy theory about her. The commercial banking executive has been plagued by long-running speculation that she is AI-generated since the start of the ITV2 series. The theory stemmed from fans clocking a string of 'glitchy' moments from her in the iconic villa, including her very upright posture while chatting with her co-stars and standing by the firepit, coupled with her slow blinking and formal speech patterns. It first gained traction after one fan took to TikTok to share a slew of clips of the Yas acting 'robotic', with the caption: 'Guys I'm scared... I think she's AI.' Since then the joke has snowballed, becoming a popular meme for this year's series, with fans frequently taking to affectionately refer to the sexy singleton as 'YasGPT' - in a play on AI chatbot, ChatGPT.

Something feels so off'. 'no one can convince me yasmin isnt ai generated'; 'Love Yasmin, our little AI robot. Whoever is programming her responses today is on form'; 'YasGPT is stiff as hell. She's definitely AI.' 'Convinced Yasmin is an ai bot sent from love island usa to cause havoc in the uk villa'; ''the batteries aren't 100%' did yasmin just confirm she is AI'. 'Are we sure Yasmin is not AI, she doesn't seem real'; ''the batteries are not 100%' yasmin is never beating the robot allegations i fear'; 'Yasmin is the certified first Love island AI icon'; 'I saw someone say Yasmin is AI and bro she is literally not real'; 'Are we sure Yasmin isn't AI robot?' 'Yasmin is almost a robot I'm kinda obsessed with it'; 'Yasmin wearing 80 denier tights during the height of summer in Mallorca proves she's AI because NO girl could survive that level of heat/friction'. 'Yasmin is never ever beating them AI bot allegations'; 'I actually love that we're seeing more of Yasmin's personality coming through. In true AI fashion she has learnt and developed. Since then the joke has snowballed, becoming a popular meme for this year's series, with fans frequently taking to affectionately refer to the sexy singleton as 'YasGPT' - in a play on AI chatbot, ChatGPT However, during Unseen Bits this weekend, it seemed as though Yas was aware of the public theory that she was an AI bot, as she insisted she was human. Sitting in the Beach Hut for a confessional, she was asked to show off her dance moves and immediately opted for the robot dance. She said: 'Oh my god, should I do the robot?' before letting slip: 'Everyone says I'm AI-generated anyway.' After attempting to her moves, she admitted: 'And I have to say, I am a real human. I'm not AI-generated, I wish I was though. I do feel like an alien sometimes.'

Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters review —haven't sharks suffered enough?
Who'd be a shark, eh? You mind your own business for millions of years, then along come humans and a film called Jaws, whicht gives you terrible PR — and makes them so terrified they want to trophy-hunt you to death. Then what happens? Everyone suddenly feels so bad that your numbers have been ravaged, the penny drops that you actually need protecting from humans (not vice versa), and the next thing you know celebrities are flying halfway across the world to peer at you while standing in the sea shrieking things like, 'Are my testicles safe?' Haven't sharks suffered enough? Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters (ITV) marks 50 years since the making of Jaws, which it said made them one of the most feared and persecuted animals on the planet. And what better way to educate the public about them than transporting seven celebrities 4,000 miles away to the Bahamas to say repeatedly how frightened they are? Especially Helen George, aka Trixie in Call the Midwife, who revealed that she has a phobia about putting her head under water and then was required to go in an underwater cage circled by bull sharks. Er, Helen, maybe have a word with your agent. Wouldn't you be better off with a gig on Celebrity Sewing Bee? And what better way to calm their nerves than by introducing them to one of their instructors, Paul, who is missing an arm and a leg because they were bitten off by, yes… a bull shark! Cue exaggerated 'gulp' faces all round. This smacks of I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here but in the water, not the jungle and with no Ant and Dec. And, hopefully, no horrible, performative eating of animals. I can't imagine anyone will tuck into a bowl of shark's fin soup. Anyway, there's also Sir Lenny Henry, Lucy Punch (aka the brilliant Amanda from Motherland), Ross Noble, Ade Adepitan, Rachel Riley and Dougie Poynter from McFly — but by the end of episode one only one of them had been bitten. Noble took a slight nip on the leg from a lemon shark and the comedian was quite funny about it. 'When you've been through something like that you view life differently,' he said, observing the barely visible graze to his wetsuit. If this show does help undemonise sharks then all power to its elbow — even if it does mean watching George surrounded by stingrays and shouting, 'It's coming right for my vagina!' No word yet on whether the stingray's lawyer is suing for defamation. Hopefully it will end the ridiculous phrase 'shark-infested waters'. Sharks live in the sea — it's us who invade their sanctuary. Fair play to the title's accuracy, though: these waters are indeed 'celebrity-infested'. • Read more TV reviews, guides about what to watch and interviews Wouldn't it be an interesting twist on I'm a Celebrity if, instead, the sharks were the ones snacking on some celebrities' genitals, declaring, 'Yuck, absolutely disgusting'? I daresay ratings would soar.★★★☆☆ Love TV?

He was playing for his charity, When You Wish Upon A Star, and was given 60 seconds to get as many of the puzzles correct as he could. The final catchphrase is split into five sections with each of them holding a certain amount of cash which increases upon each level. Will was nervous because he really wanted to do well in the quiz so that his charity could grant more wishes to children. But he was stumped on some as he made his way up the pyramid. In one of the puzzles, there was a group of figures on one side of the screen with the word 'way' above them as a solitary figure stood on the other side also displaying the word 'way'. Will had a try but couldn't get it and when Stephen revealed that the answer was one way street - Will exclaimed " I see it now!"

"Now that £1000 you just won, so for your charity you are taking away a mighty £16700." Hardest Quiz Show Questions Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: 'From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?' The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000. - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history.

The 1% Club - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: "Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the 'X' of January." It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir's birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence. - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed.
