The duo wrote their names into British sporting history by winning ice dance gold at the 1984 Winter Games with their routine to Ravel’s Bolero. For their farewell tour they recreated the routine, complete with their purple ombre costumes.

Following their final performance together, Dean, 66, said: “The performance went well and the audience were amazing and so, for us, to be able to bow out on a high like that was wonderful.”
