Skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean are set to retire, revealing their ages and plans for a final UK tour in 2025
Nottingham: So, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean are hanging up their skates after an incredible journey together. Can you believe they’ve been skating for over 50 years? It’s wild! They made history back in 1984 when they won Gold at the Winter Games with that unforgettable performance to Ravel’s Bolero.
Now, they’ve announced they’re retiring, but not before one last UK tour in 2025. Fans are going to love this! They’ll get to see them perform one more time, which is super exciting.
And speaking of excitement, you might be wondering how old they are now. Jayne is 67, and Christopher is 65. They’re still going strong, but they know it’s time to wrap things up.
They’ve had such a huge impact on ice skating, especially with shows like Dancing On Ice. Dean mentioned how their Olympic win really kicked off their careers, allowing them to tour the world and perform for tons of fans.
As for their retirement, Dean said it’s just the right time. They’re not as young as they used to be, but they still want to enjoy skating and share some nostalgic routines along with new, fun dances. It sounds like they’re planning a celebration, and I can’t wait to see it!
