Skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean have announced they will be retiring next spring when they embark on their last ever live UK tour: ‘Torvill & Dean: Our Last Dance’.
The iconic duo returned to Sarajevo, in Bosnia-Herzegovina, today (February 14th) to commemorate the 40th anniversary of their Gold medal winning performance to Ravel’s Bolero at the 1984 Winter Olympics.
The heart-stopping performance had a UK television audience of 24 million people on the edge of their seats and went down in history as one of the greatest sporting moments of the 20th Century, setting a new standard for world-class figure skating.
The tour will celebrate 50 years of the Nottingham pair skating together before they hang up their skates for good.
Kicking off at London’s OVO Arena in Wembley on April 12th, 2025, this will be the very last chance to see the world’s most famous skating superstars in action on the ice together.
The 28-date tour will travel across the UK, stopping off in Manchester at the AO Arena on May 2nd-4th, before culminating at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on May 11th for their final performance and last dance.
Jayne Torvill, 66, and Christopher Dean, 65, said: “Following the kind invitation from the Mayor, we are thrilled to be back in Sarajevo 40 years on from that memorable day.
“Returning to the city which provided such a life-changing moment for us is incredibly nostalgic and brings back so many wonderful memories. We’re also feeling very emotional as we announce our 2025 farewell tour: ‘Torvill & Dean: Our Last Dance’.
“Whilst we will continue to work together off the ice, this will be the final time we will skate together following our 50-year partnership.
“But not without celebrating one final time with all of our incredible fans across the UK, who have supported us constantly over many years. We promise to put on an amazing live show – and we really hope to see you there!”
The pair will continue to work together off the ice as Head Judges on the new series of Dancing on Ice. You can catch Torvill and Dean on ITV1 every Sunday night.
Tickets for the tour are on sale now on ‘Bolero Day’ (as Jayne and Chris affectionately call it), aka February 14th, from TorvillandDean.com and via Ticketmaster, HERE.
