Ice skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean have announced that they are retiring from skating, forty years after their iconic Bolero routine.
The pair have returned to the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo, where they won Olympic gold back in 1984, where they have shared the news of their retirement and upcoming farewell tour.
Following the 2025 series of Dancing on Ice, the ice skaters, who serve as judges on the show, will embark on their farewell tour which will kick off at the OVO Arena in Wembley on 12 April 2025, and finish in Glasgow at the OVO Hydro a month later on 11 May.
Reflecting on ending their tours, Chris told the Mirror: “I think there comes a time when you know. We’re not spring chickens any more, but we’re still able to do it to a certain degree we feel good about it, but that will go.
“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.”
The pair will start practising for the retirement tour after next year’s Dancing on Ice wraps up, but Jayne confirmed they will not be retiring from the popular ITV show.
Jayne and Chris made the announcement in Sarajevo as the returned to mark the anniversary of their world-famous Olympic win at the invitation of the city’s mayor.
While the stadium at which they took the gold medal has since been destroyed by war, a new stadium has been rebuilt in the city, with the skaters paying a visit during their trip.
While there Jayne and Chris got involved with some children’s ice skating lessons, with Chris snapped lifting one child up, while Jayne seemed to be doing the conga with another group.
After announcing their upcoming retirement, Jayne told the BBC: “We just hope people come and celebrate with us because the tour is a celebration of our careers and the last dance.”
Chris added: “I’m sure when it is the last dance, there will definitely be a lump in our throat. Every day it’s a pleasure to be able to skate together. She’s my best friend.”
