Jane Torvill couldn't finish jigsaw of herself because of all the ice

Olympic skater Jane Torvill spent lockdown doing jigsaws of herself and Christopher Dean - but couldn't finish any because there was too much ice.

Gold medallist Jane, 63, said the classic strategy of assembling the edges of a puzzle before building inwards failed – since the entire picture was white.

The Dancing on Ice judge said she had taken up jigsaws to beat boredom - and bought three which featured 'Torvill and Dean'.

But she soon gave up after struggling to finish them, she told the Adam Buxton podcast.

She said: “My kids did one at first – we managed to get a big one, I didn’t do much of it.

“And then I found on this website, somebody sent me a link that there was some jigsaw puzzles of Chris and I.

“I think I ordered three of them because I just thought it was funny to do a jigsaw of Chris and I.

“And when they came – what was quite daunting was – the backgrounds, everything’s white.

“So, you can’t even make the edges properly because we’re in a position – but everything else is white!

“So, I gave up.”
