Torvill & Dean Tour Dancing On Ice

The greatest ice dancers of all time Jayne Torvill & Christopher Dean captivated television audiences earlier last year, dancing together for the first time in nearly a decade, in the smash hit ITV show Dancing On Ice.

Now for the first time Dancing On Ice – The Tour is set to take the magic of the TV programme and more across the UK for 17 shows from March 2007.

The tour will star Torvill & Dean who will perform a selection of their favourite dances exclusively at each show plus displays from celebrity skating contestants involved in the TV show.

Dancing On Ice – The Tour will be hosted by Andi Peters (a former contestant who has decided to take a slightly less hazardous role in the live format). He will be joined by amongst others, returning contestants Bonnie Langford who made it through to last year’s final and actor Stefan Booth. Aussie models Lara Bingle and Jake Wall will also take part following their success on the Australian version of Dancing On Ice last year.

The judging panel from the TV show will be rink-side to critique the performances each night. Olympic gold medal winner Robin Cousins will head the panel of ice judges, he is joined by Nicky Slater, Karen Barber and Jason ‘Mr Nasty’ Gardiner.

Judging will be a truly interactive experience and replicate the format of the TV show. Each night of the tour the competing celebrities will perform a series of routines with their dancing partners and the arena audiences will be able to vote for their favourite couple via their mobile phones. The audience votes will be added to the scores from the TV show panel of ice judges to decide the winner.

Once the votes have been counted, the two celebrities with the highest amount of votes will join their skating partners to perform a magical finale of Torvill & Dean’s Olympic Gold medal winning routine of Bolero.

ITV1’s Dancing On Ice was a major ratings hit this year with audience figures peaking at 12 million. Universal Pictures has released a DVD reliving Jayne and Chris’s most magical dancing routines entitled Torvill & Dean Golden Moments.
