Dancing On Ice star Jayne Torvill shares very rare snap of her husband and kids on trip to London

DANCING On Ice star Jayne Torvill poses for a rare public snap with her husband and kids in London.

The Olympic legend’s son Kieran, 20, towers over his mum and his dad Phil in the sweet photo taken in Oxford Street.

Seeing DOI judge Jayne’s post on Instagram, one fan commented: “It’s nice to see your family after all these years. Enjoy 😊”

“Glad you’re showing up more on social media! 💕💕💕,” another celebrated.

A third person gushed: “A lovely family picture 👏👏”

Jayne is one of Britain’s most famous Winter Olympians having claimed gold with Christopher Dean.

Jayne’s popularity has only increased since helping to create ITV fan favourite Dancing on Ice.

She met skating partner Christopher Dean when they were both skating at the same ice rink as teenagers, although she had another partner at the time.

Both of their partners moved away and they joined forces to become successful Winter Olympians for Great Britain.

People often think Torvill and Dean, who will return to judge the new DOI line-up in January, are a couple but the duo insist they only briefly snogged as teenagers and never got together.

Jayne has been married to husband Phil Christensen since 1990 and their children – Kieran and Jessica – are both adopted.

Jessica is 16 years old and Kieran, 20, attends University in Nottingham, where his mum was born, and he is a football coach.

Jayne previously spoke of her IVF battle before adopting her children.

She said on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories: “I got pregnant quite quickly and I thought, ‘Oh this is fine’.

“And when I went to have a scan they said I had an ectopic pregnancy, and I didn’t know what that meant. They said, ‘The embryo’s growing in one of the tubes’.

“I said, ‘Oh, ok, so how do you get it out then?’. And they said, ‘We don’t. We can’t’. That’s when it hit me.

“So I went through the surgery and then it was obvious it was going to be more difficult. So we tried IVF for about a year. That, as a lot of women know, is traumatic in itself.”

Speaking through tears, she added: “A friend of mine had adopted a little boy. She said, ‘Come and see him.’ At that point I wasn’t ready to look into adoption, I was still thinking it was going to happen.

“And you’ve got to be ready for it, if you want to adopt. I said to my husband, ‘I don’t know if I can do this’. And I went to see this little boy, and I wanted to bring him home.”
