In 1984, Jayne Torvill and Chris Dean became Olympic gold medallists and were shot to international fame with their now iconic 'Boléro' routine. Forty years on, and after almost fifty years as a skating duo, the pair are saying a long goodbye to the rink with their Our Last Dance tour. Jess sat down with Jayne and Chris to hear about their journey from hire skates in Nottingham to the Olympic rink, the importance of eye contact, what not to say at the dole office, and the secret to their 50-year partnership.
