Torvill and Dean are starring in Dancing On Thin Ice, a new ITV documentary looking at the impact of climate change on remote communities.
And speaking ahead of the programme, due to air on New Year’s Day, skater Christopher Dean revealed how their journey for wild ice in Alaska ended in a true “lump in the throat” moment.
At the end of the programme, the skating duo perform their Bolero on a frozen lake in what they have described as a “once in a lifetime” opportunity.

Olympic champions Torvill and Dean have been ice-dancing together for more than 45 years, which Christopher Dean reckons must be some sort of record.
‘We’re unique. I was thinking recently about other famous partnerships and we’ve outlasted a lot of them. We’ve been together longer than Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, even Morecambe & Wise. I don’t know why I was thinking comedy duos, but I was.’
With great timing (comedic or otherwise), Jayne Torvill tries to think of which other couples might challenge them for the title of the UK’s longest-serving double acts.
‘Ant and Dec?’ she wonders, as Chris shakes his head (he’s right, Ant and Dec were only born in 1975, the year Torvill and Dean started skating together).
