The greatest ice dancers of all time, Jayne Torvill & Christopher Dean have captivated UK TV audiences over the last 3 years, dancing together in their smash hit ITV show, Dancing on Ice.
As the Torvill & Dean skated their way to legendary status at the Winter Olympics in 1984, the national TV news was delayed, and the House of Commons stopped in the middle of a debate. Over 24 million viewers watched the couple perform their now iconic interpretation of Ravel's Bolero.
Now, Torvill and Dean help to train celebrities in the art of 'ice-dance'. Dancing On Ice - the Tour, 2008 is set to take the magic of the TV show across the UK through March and April 2008.
Celebrity performances will be judged live every night both by audience members and the expert panel from the TV show. With votes have been counted, the celebrity with the highest votes will perform a magical finale of Torvill & Dean's Olympic gold-medal winning routine of Bolero with their professional skating partner.
"The tour will be taking the show that's seen on TV live onto the rink," Jayne reveals. "We're taking a selection of celebrities from all 3 series - so you'll get to see some of your favourite stars on the ice"
"We're going to recreate the studio and have that event each night with the judges and celebrities - and indeed us!" Chris adds.
"The audience get to vote and we'll be doing two more numbers as well. So bring your mobile phones!"
