SKATING legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean have had their Dancing on Ice future revealed after retiring from the sport.
The Olympic athletes previously announced that they are ready to hang up the skates after half a century of competing together.
After the surprising news, many fans were left speculating that the duo would no longer be starring on Dancing on Ice.
They cited aging and losing some of the physical abilities they had in their younger days as the main reason behind retirement.
However, the Sun can reveal the happy news that both Jayne and Christopher still plan to participate in the ITV series.
The reality show’s creative director Dan Whiston shared: “I’m 100 percent grateful to Jayne and Chris because if it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t be where I am now.
“I feel like they groomed me for this position I do now, so I’m super grateful and they’re very close friends of mine as well. It’s bittersweet.
“I’m super, super sad they’re retiring, but at the same time I think there could be other things happening there.
“I don’t want to give it away too much but they have given so much to Dancing on Ice. I think it’s just a time to celebrate their career and what a wonderful 40 years it’s been.
“Without them there wouldn’t have been a Dancing on Ice so, for me, it’s a huge celebration.
“They’ll be continuing obviously with the show.”
