Torvill & Dean Take Final Bow at Wembley with Emotional “Last Dance” – 50th Anniversary Farewell Tour Ends in Tears and Thunderous Applause

On Saturday, April 12, 2025, an era came to an unforgettable close at London’s OVO Arena Wembley, as Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean took their final bow in the last performance of their Our Last Dance – 50th Anniversary Tour.

This wasn’t just the end of a tour — it was the end of a legacy. The sold-out arena was buzzing with anticipation, filled with lifelong fans, figure skating enthusiasts, and celebrities who came to pay tribute to the duo who redefined what ice dancing could be.

As the final number of the night began — simply titled “Last Dance” — the atmosphere shifted. A soft spotlight fell on Jayne and Chris as they stood still in the center of the ice. With every note of the hauntingly beautiful music, the pair moved as one — no longer just skaters, but storytellers closing a five-decade chapter.

Their final routine was a poignant blend of elegance, grace, and gratitude. Incorporating elements from some of their most iconic pieces — echoes of Boléro, glimpses of Barnum, the joy of Mack & Mabel — this last performance served as a living montage of everything they had given to the world of figure skating.

By the time they reached the final pose, the crowd was already on its feet — some clapping, some crying, many doing both. Jayne wiped away tears. Chris looked out into the crowd and nodded. There were no words — just emotion, history, and a legacy that will never be repeated.

The “Last Dance” wasn’t just a routine. It was a thank you.
And what the world felt in return was clear:
Thank you, Torvill & Dean — for the magic, the memories, and a golden 50 years on ice.
