Jayne Torvill & Christopher Dean: From Nottingham council estates to winning gold at the Olympics

It's 40 years since Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean won gold at the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo. Around 24 million people turned on their TVs to watch the Nottingham duo make history on the ice rink. It was the moment that changed Jayne and Chris' lives forever. Since then, they have won multiple World Championships, sold out international tours and become the faces of ITV's hit show Dancing on Ice.

Tickets for their last ever UK tour, Torvill & Dean: Our Last Dance, are available at www.torvillanddean.com
