The pair originally retired from the rink in 1998 but got their skates back on for Dancing On Ice in 2006 – where they are now part of the judging panel.
Sunday night’s episode was full of impressive routines with soap star Lisa George, 49, performing a Coronation Street themed dance.
She even invited co-stars Jane Danson and Anthony Cotton onto the ice to help her pull off the performance which was set in the Rovers Return pub.
Contestant Caprice Bourret also failed to address the reason behind Hamish Gaman being axed as her partner as she narrowly avoided elimination on Sunday.

All together: Torvill and Dean were perfectly in time as they went through the steps
The supermodel, 48, who is now skating with Oscar Peter, didn’t mention during her rehearsal video tape why she is no longer skating with pro Hamish.
Caprice and Oscar were up against Radzi Chinyanganya and his partner Jessica Hatfield in this weeks skate off, but they managed to be saved by all four judges.
Earlier in the episode Caprice referenced her partner swap and simply said: ‘I missed last week because I’m no longer skating with Hamish.’
Caprice went on to say that her first live performance was ‘overwhelming’ and she was ‘nervous and excited’ for Sunday’s routine with her new partner.
