Dancing On Ice booing sparks dig from Torvill and Dean: ‘Everyone’s an expert!’
DANCING ON ICE boos didn’t go down well with ice skating legends Torvill and Dean, the iconic duo told Express.co.uk.
Dancing on Ice: Torvill and Dean discuss their recorded routines
The legendary ice skating duo, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, are judges on Dancing On Ice and have been a part of the show since its inception. This year, new challenges have been presented to the ITV contest due to coronavirus. One of them is not having a live studio audience – but Torvill and Dean revealed this didn’t prevent heated responses to their scoring.
Torvill and Dean were in their late teenage years when they were partnered up in Nottingham and went on to make history as an ice skating duo.
Their performance to Boléro at the 1984 Winter Olympics, in Sarajevo, remains among their greatest achievements.
After that iconic free-dance, they received an “unprecedented” perfect mark of 6.0 – the highest that could be awarded – by all judges.
Their win, which earned them a gold medal, was watched by 24 million people and came eighth in a Channel 4 poll for the 100 Greatest Sporting Moments.
Since 2006, Torvill and Dean have been a part of Dancing On Ice and since becoming judges have split fans due to their tough criticism.

They revealed the difficulties of putting on the ITV show this year and the response to their marking, during an interview with Express.co.uk.
Christopher felt that it was “really important” to have Dancing On Ice back on TV screens while the country is in the middle of its third national lockdown.
He said: “TV is an important thing as we’re locked up… I think shows like Dancing On Ice are really important for people to let go of things.
“It helps people to not think about things, relax, smile, laugh and not take on all of the pressures of what’s going on right now because it’s such a difficult time for everybody.”
Christopher feels it gives the public “moments of escapism” due to how “competitive” and intense the show is.

He said: “It’s a competition, so everybody gets very competitive about it and so do the celebrities.
“The way it’s put together, it’s all dressed up and yet you’re a fraction away from disaster at times.
“I think it puts you on the edge of your seat, but it still has a warm feeling about it as well.”
Dancing On Ice is a little different this year due to there being no live studio audience – which Jayne admitted was “a bit strange” at first.
She said: “So, we kind of got used to performing without the audience and then judging and not having the audience react.
