On Friday 26th November between 1.30 and 2.30 pm Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean are joining us for a live chat.

Torvill and Dean became world famous at the 1984 Winter Olympics when they became the highest scoring figure skaters of all time, scoring maximum points for dance to Ravel's Bolero. (If you've never seen it or haven't seen it since the 80's it worth a look - we've been marvelling at it this morning on YouTube at Mumsnet HQ)

They were enticed out of retirement to take part in ITV's Dancing On Ice which begins again in early 2011. The Dancing on Ice Live Tour 2010 DVD is out on November 29th and Tickets for the Dancing On Ice Live Tour 2011 are now on sale from Dancing on Ice Live Tour 2011
Join us on Friday to chat Jayne and Christopher and if you're unable to make it, send your questions to them in advance of the chat to this thread.

@Dulcinea

A question for both of you. What do you think of getting rid of the Compulsory Dances, and do you like the new Short Dance format? Do you think these changes will be beneficial for the sport?

I think it's a bit of a mash up myself

RozzyJnC · 26/11/2010 14:22

I'm surprised at the popularity of the humble digestive. :o I expected at least a chocolate topping :)

JoTillo · 26/11/2010 14:23

When you're on tour, do you ever think of doing a brand new routine that we won't have seen on the telly - something special for those who come to see you?

Favourite joke at the moment?

Why did the banana go to the doctor?

because he wasn't peeling very well.

Do you mean without Jayne? The lifts would be easier !

kc9music · 26/11/2010 14:27

Would you ever do anything outside the UK again?

Dulcinea · 26/11/2010 14:28

Sorry for yet another question...What do you think of the ice dance podium of the Vancouver Olys? Was the huge score gap between the North Americans and the Russians justified?

ZaraC · 26/11/2010 14:28

Chris you are actually really funny..who'd have though it.. LOL

hannah19 · 26/11/2010 14:28
