Dancing on Ice stars Torvill and Dean's huge net worth after retiring

Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean are worth a cool £5 million as they hang up their boots and retire from ice skating. The pair were judges on Dancing on Ice for 19 years until it was announced the ITV show would not return in 2026.

They then went on a farewell tour of the UK called 'Our Last Dance', playing huge shows in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow before performing for the final time together in their beloved hometown of Nottingham on July 12.

Now Jayne, 67, and Christopher, 66, are set to enjoy a fruitful retirement as accounts for their skating company Waikiki Limited revealed they've amassed assets of £5 million, including a whopping £620,000 in cash.

That's £586,000 more than they earned the previous year. And next year's earnings following their latest tour could be even more, as these accounts only cover the period up to 27 October 2024.

Dancing on Ice, which had aired since 2006, came to an end in March 2025. The most recent final, won by Coronation Street star Sam Aston managed to pull in just 2.7 million viewers – a staggering decline from the viewing figures it once had, with an estimated 12 million tuning in during previous years.

Announcing the show wouldn't be returning next year, an ITV spokesperson said: "Following another successful series earlier this year, Dancing On Ice will be rested in 2026 with no current plans for another series.

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the cast and crew who have worked on the show since 2006, and over the previous 17 series, for all of their hard work both on and off the ice."

But despite a dip in viewing figures, former Dancing on Ice pro Alex Murphy said it was more likely the fact Torvill and Dean announced they would be retiring this year that led to it being shelved.

She told The Sun: "Torvill and Dean are national treasures. They are fantastic people, and the most iconic skaters in the skating world as a whole, not just England, and I think Britain sometimes doesn't recognise that, or even notice that they are iconic to the world.

"We are obsessed with them in my industry as a skater. I grew up watching them, my mother grew up watching them. They are so iconic. So it's their show. I just love that. It's their show. So whenever they're ready, I think, then that's when it will go.”

The ice skating icons shot to fame in 1984 after their legendary bolero dance saw them secure a gold medal and 12 perfect 6.0 scores at the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo in a performance that was watched by 24 million Brits alone - making it one of the most-watched TV events in British history.

Jayne recently revealed that they managed to work together and stay friends for the past 50 years because they never married and their relationship was always platonic.

Speaking to BBC Breakfast, she said of their partnership, which began when they were just 15: "It was all just very new for both of us. As we skated together a few more times, I think we both realised that we both had a passion for it, and we both wanted to get better. Keep doing it, practice, get better.

"And I think that's what kept us going all these years. I always say that we never got married, so that's why we are still best of friends and still love working together."

Reflecting on their final performance, Christopher said their journey now 'feels complete.' He added: "After the tour finishes in Nottingham, we'll be hanging up the skates as Torvill and Dean. Will it be a sad moment? Of course! We climbed up the mountain, saw the beautiful views, won a few medals and we're able to bow out on our terms. The journey feels complete."
