TORVILL & DEAN’S ‘OUR LAST DANCE’50 TH ANNIVERSARY UK TOUR 2025 FULL CAST ANNOUNCED

An incredible cast of Dancing on Ice skaters, Olympic medalists, and talented future stars will join legends of the ice Jayne Torvill & Christopher Dean on their final ever UK tour ‘Torvill & Dean: Our Last Dance’.

Our Last Dance commemorates 50 years since Torvill & Dean formed their incredible skating partnership. The tour kicks off at London’s OVO Arena in Wembley on 11 April and is the last chance audiences will have to watch Torvill & Dean in action on the ice together, before they hang up their skates for good.

The thrilling line-up joining Torvill & Dean on their farewell tour features professional Dancing on Ice 2025 finalists Annette Dytrt and Mark Hanretty and semi-finalist Vanessa James. Previous Dancing on Ice winners Vanessa Bauer and Alexandra Schauman also join the tour. Other pro skaters participating include Dancing on Ice favourites Andy Buchanan, Robin Johnstone, Sylvain Longchambon, Eric Radford, Lukasz Rozycki, and Dan Whiston. The tour will also see Beijing Olympics 2022 Japanese husband and wife duo figure skating silver medalists Tim Koleto & Misato Komatsubara. Plus USA’s bronze medal winning figure skater Mirai Nagasu and USA/French figure skater Philip Warren.

The farewell tour will see Torvill & Dean tell the story of their amazing 50-year partnership, taking the audience on a journey through their incredible career from the very beginning to the present day, with a nostalgic look at the 70s and 80s. This retrospective storytelling will include some of Torvill & Dean’s most iconic numbers, portrayed with the help of the talented star skating lineup, along with the use of giant screens to showcase some unique videos from the archive. Plus, of course, Torvill & Dean will perform some newly choreographed routines.

In a touching special celebration of Torvill & Dean’s history, young skating duos Isla Forsyth & Lewis Macdonald and Darcy Walshaw & Hugo Brooks, will share the honour of portraying Jayne and Christopher as they recreate routines from their teenage years. The show will also look forward to the skating stars of the future, and feature a performance from James Hernandez (3x National Junior Champion) & Phebe Bekker (2x National Junior Champion) and Luke Digby (4x National Champion) & Anastasia Vaipan-Law (Team GB athlete, 4x National Pairs Champion).

Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean said: “We are thrilled our farewell tour welcomes some familiar faces that will delight Dancing on Ice fans as well as top athletes and future stars. It’s a pleasure to showcase talented young skating couples who will recreate memories live on the ice of how our story started at 15 years old. It’s 50 years since our skating partnership egan, so now is the right time to say goodbye and end on a high. Whilst we will continue to ork together off the ice, this will be the last time we will skate together. We want to thank all our fans whose support spans five decades by putting on an amazing final live show – we really hope to see you there!”

Torvill & Dean announced their skating retirement on 14 th February last year (“Bolero Day”, as they fondly call it) whilst in Sarajevo to commemorate the 40 th anniversary of their historic old medal winning performance to Ravel’s Bolero at the 1984 Winter Olympics. This egendary display reached a UK television audience of 24 million people – it became one of he greatest sporting moments of the 20 th Century – setting a new standard for world-class figure skating.
