Torvill and Dean Set the Record Straight on Romance Rumours! ⛸️✨
After dazzling us on the ice for an incredible 50 years, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean are finally hanging up their skates. But not before addressing those long-standing romance rumours that have followed them throughout their legendary careers.
The iconic duo, celebrated for their unforgettable Bolero performance at the 1984 Winter Olympics, have always had fans wondering about their off-ice relationship. People have speculated if their undeniable chemistry extended beyond just friendship and skating.
In an eye-opening documentary set to air tonight, the dynamic pair clear the air. Despite frequent whispers, both Torvill and Dean confirm that they’ve never been romantically involved. Jayne has been happily married to Phil Christensen for more than three decades, and Chris has been with Karen Barber since 2011.
And yes, while they did share a cheeky kiss as teens years before their official partnership turned into a legendary career, it turns out the secret to their extraordinary partnership is precisely in not mixing business with pleasure. 🔒
Reflecting on the past, Dean shared, “When we were younger, we dabbled for a minute, but it didn’t last very long.” Torvill concurred, teasing that maintaining a platonic relationship helped ensure their professional focus on the ice.
Their advice? “Don’t sleep with each other,” said Dean, while Torvill added, “We knew turning professional meant no messing about. The focus was always on skating.”
Catch their full story and witness the friendship that’s melted the ice and warmed our hearts for decades. ❤️
