Torvill & Dean have one last dance with ITV

The skating starts are to feature in a one-off documentary Torvill & Dean: The Last Dance…

In an hour-long special ITV1 and STV will follow ice skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean as they embark on their last ever tour, ‘Our Last Dance’.

Commissioned by Katie Rawcliffe, Director of Entertainment & Daytime ITV:

“We are thrilled to be continuing our long working relationship with Torvill and Dean as they embark on their most iconic tour to celebrate their astonishing life, both on and off the ice, a treat for their fans and the ITV audience.”

This film, made by FilmNova, explores Torvill and Dean’s career, looking back on their professional highlights, and following the skating duo as they train and prepare to say goodbye to their fans and dance on ice together one last time.

Audiences will follow these British sporting icons throughout their final year as performers – from their preparations and last ever television performance on Dancing on Ice; those early gruelling training sessions and first rehearsals for their farewell tour in Aberdeen; through to the iconic first performance of the live tour at Wembley Arena and throughout their shows across the UK.

The audience will gain an intimate insight into what it’s been like to live life as the UK’s greatest ever ice skaters, their 50-year relationship and their desire to leave a lasting legacy.

Jayne Torvill & Christopher Dean:

“We’re delighted that our farewell tour will be the subject of an ITV documentary. The programme will be filled with poignant and joyful moments as we plan, rehearse and perform our final skating journey together – all caught on camera by a film crew following us over many months as we bid farewell to our 50 year ice skating partnership. It’s fitting that this documentary will be broadcast on ITV, our TV home for the last two decades. We hope fans will enjoy this final opportunity to see us skate together.”
