Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean are British ice dancers.
They are former British, European, Olympic and World champions.
At the 1984 Winter Olympics they became the highest scoring figure skaters of all time receiving twelve perfect 6.0s and six 5.9's.
The pair turned professional following the 1984 Olympics, regaining amateur status briefly ten years later in 1994 to compete in the Olympics once again.
The pair retired from competitive skating for good in 1998 when they toured one last time with their own show, Ice Adventures.
In a UK poll conducted by Channel 4 in 2002, the British public voted Torvill and Dean's historic gold-medal-winning performance at the 1984 Winter Olympics as Number 8 in the list of the 100 Greatest Sporting Moments.
Have you seen Torvill and Dean perform on Dancing on Ice?
