However, the duo were quizzed on whether they’ll be back as judges on the ITV series as it returned tonight.
Telling fans about their farewell tour, Christopher said: “We’re 50 years skating together.
“It’s our last tour, last time round, so when we’ve finished the tour our skates will be hung up.”
Holly Willoughby filled up with tears – telling the skaters: “I can’t, it makes me so sad.”
She and co-host Stephen Mulhern were relieved when they told of plans to continue on Dancing on Ice after retiring.
“We’re not retiring from judging on Dancing on Ice,” Christopher confirmed.
Last year they returned to Sarajevo to announce their retirement, four decades after they delivered the epic performance there in the Winter Olympics.
The pair, both in their sixties, want to bow out while they are still able to perform their gold-winning 1984 Bolero routine.
