A former DOI pro suggested their retirement is the reason the show ended
TORVILL and Dean performed together for the final time last night as they wrapped up their farewell tour in their hometown of Nottingham.
Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean last year announced plans to retire 40 years after their gold-winning 1984 Bolero routine at the 1984 Winter Games.

And following their last time skating together, Christopher, 66, said: “The performance went well and the audience were amazing and so, for us, to be able to bow out on a high like that was wonderful.”
Opening up about performing in his hometown, he continued: “These last four performances here in Nottingham, the early ones were quite emotional and I think I sort of got that out of me, and tonight, it was a high.”
Jayne, 67, added: “I think we’ll miss it.
“When you’ve done all these shows like this, and you’re suddenly home, not doing anything, you miss that adrenaline rush and you miss the excitement of being on the ice, whether it’s a practice session or a performance.”
The duo were coaches on Dancing On Ice from 2006 until it ended the first time around in 2014.
When the ITV show returned in 2018, they became head judges on the panel alongside Ashley Banjo and Oti Mabuse.
It was confirmed in March that Dancing On Ice had been shelved with no plans for a new series.
An ITV Spokesperson said: “Following another successful series earlier this year, Dancing On Ice will be rested in 2026 with no current plans for another series.
