British ice skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean have announced they will retire from skating together in 2025.

The news marks the 40th anniversary of their Olympic gold win. The pair made British sporting history with their routine to Ravel's Bolero at the 1984 Winter Games in Sarajevo.

Returning to Bosnia and Herzegovina 40 years after their Valentine's Day performance, they confirmed plans for a final UK tour next year.

Dean told PA news agency: "That was really a launching pad of then going off to do other things. Touring around the world, skating in front of hundreds of thousands of people and then Dancing On Ice starting up because of winning the Olympics." Their Olympic triumph followed a string of successes at the World, European and British Championships in the early 1980s.
