💫 “The Last Dance”: Torvill
From the Olympic stage to the hearts of millions, the legendary duo prepare to wave goodbye to the ice with an emotional farewell tour in the UK and Australia.
Under the sparkling lights of Dancing On Ice , Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean once again melted fans’ hearts with a perfect pose – hand in hand, eyes full of synchronicity, and a nostalgic smile. But this time, every look carried a special sadness: This was one of the last times they would stand on the ice together as a performing duo.
After decades of companionship, from the 1984 Olympic gold medal to popular television seasons, Torvill & Dean have officially confirmed that they will retire from the ice rink permanently after their farewell tour called “Our Last Dance” , scheduled to take place from April to July this year, passing through major cities in the UK and Australia .
👑 A glorious chapter of history
Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean were more than just athletes – they were living icons, true artists of the figure skating world. Their combination of technique and emotion set a new standard for the sport, culminating in their immortal “Boléro” routine at the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics , where they received perfect scores from all judges for showmanship – an unprecedented feat.
Since the Olympics, they have continued to conquer the world through tours, television shows and especially as judges and coaches on Dancing On Ice , where they have not only inspired but also supported many generations of young artists.
💌 “Our Last Dance” – a beautiful farewell like a last hug
In the latest announcement, the emotional duo shared:
“We always knew that one day we would have to say goodbye to the ice. And we wanted to do it in a way that was respectful, warm and memorable – with the fans who have loved and supported us through the years.”
The “Our Last Dance” tour promises to be an emotional journey , where they recreate their iconic performances, tell behind-the-scenes stories that have never been revealed, and most importantly: thank the millions of hearts that have always given them a special place .
Dates have now been confirmed for major cities including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Sydney and Melbourne, with tickets going on sale in less than a week and already recording record bookings – a sign that the love for them remains as strong as ever.
🎭 Emotions from fans and colleagues
Torvill & Dean’s split immediately became a hot topic on social media. One fan wrote:
“They are not just artists, they are the youth of a generation. It is hard to believe that this will be the last time we see them together on the ice.”
Many colleagues in the entertainment and sports industry also sent their condolences. Actress and co-presenter Holly Willoughby shared:
“They were the soul of Dancing On Ice. I will always remember the look they gave each other as they skated – it wasn’t an act, it was a language of its own.”
🌟 Goodbye is not the end
Although they will no longer be on the ice after July, Torvill & Dean say they will continue to be involved with the figure skating community in an advisory and teaching role:
“We’re still here, just not spinning around on the ice anymore,” Christopher said with a laugh.
“Now it’s time to pass the torch to the next generation.”
🕊️ A beautiful curtain call like their career
As the music plays for the last time, as the lights dim after their farewell tour, Torvill & Dean will leave the rink not just with applause – but with a legacy. A legendary chapter in figure skating has come to an end, but the love, respect and memories they leave behind will live on forever.
And if “Our Last Dance” is the final chapter, it will definitely be a perfect ending – full of emotions, just like the way they entered the hearts of fans from the very beginning.
