Skating legends Jayne Torvill & Christopher Dean have returned to Sarajevo today (14th February) to commemorate their historic Gold medal winning performance to Ravel’s Bolero at the 1984 Winter Olympics - 40 years to the day. Torvill & Dean also announced today that they will be retiring from skating together in spring 2025, when they embark on their last ever live UK tour: ‘Torvill & Dean: Our Last Dance’

Kicking off at London’s OVO Arena in Wembley on 12 April, this will be the very last chance to see the world’s most famous skating superstars in action on the ice together. The 28-date tour will travel across the UK, arriving at Utilita Arena Sheffield for three shows between 19-20 April 2025.

Following an invitation from the Mayor of Sarajevo to visit the city to mark the 40th anniversary of the Winter Olympics, Torvill & Dean are there today reliving the memories four decades on of their iconic heart-stopping performance which had a UK television audience of 24 million people on the edge of their seats. It became one of the greatest sporting moments of the 20th Century and set a new standard for world-class figure skating.

‘Torvill & Dean: Our Last Dance’ UK Tour will be the last time that Jayne and Chris will perform on ice together, 50 years since they formed their incredible skating partnership - giving audiences one last chance to see and celebrate the iconic duo.

Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean said: "Following the kind invitation from the Mayor, we are thrilled to be back in Sarajevo 40 years on from that memorable day. Returning to the city which provided such a life-changing moment for us is incredibly nostalgic and brings back so many wonderful memories. We’re also feeling very emotional as we announce our 2025 farewell tour: ‘Torvill & Dean: Our Last Dance’. Whilst we will continue to work together off the ice, this will be the final time we will skate together following our 50-year partnership. But not without celebrating one final time with all of our incredible fans across the UK, who have supported us constantly over many years. We promise to put on an amazing live show – and we really hope to see you there!”

Torvill & Dean are back on ITV1 every Sunday night, as Head Judges on the new series of Dancing on Ice.
