Reflecting on their decision to bid farewell to ice dancing, Dean shared with ITV:
“I think there comes a time when you know. We’re not spring chickens anymore but we’re still able to do it to a certain degree that we feel good about it, but that will go.”
“So I think that it is the right time for us to do that and go and skate and do some of the old routines, be very nostalgic, but then do some new fun, upbeat (dances) with friends of ours from the skating world and from Dancing on Ice. We’re looking at it as a celebration."
Speaking to ITV, Torvill shared her expectations of getting a medal in the upcoming Winter Olympics 2026. The ice skater also hoped it would be a gold medal, and “pump more money into the sport in the UK.”
The duo currently assumes the position of the head judges on ITV’s competitive show, Dancing on Ice.
