Live webchat with olympic skaters Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean on Friday 26th November between 1.30 and 2.30 pm

[RachelMumsnet]

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.

Jayne is it true you feel like Karen is the little sister you never had?

Its a very cute thought :)

Jayne you looked fab in recent pics loved your white coat!! :D

@GreyGhost

Without giving anything away (which you wouldn't anyway!) How are this year's celebrities shaping up? Have you spotted this years DOI version of Ann Widdecombe?

No
All our celebs are working hard at the moment!

@Rockbird

Ooh, can I ask what your favourite biscuit is?

(that one doesn't count as my question, it's for the good of all MNetters :o)

I live in Colorado, and I search out Digestive biscuits (cookies). That's my breakfast wake-up, dunking it in my coffee. Can't beat it.

WOOP love how my friend Hannah's question was answered :D lol xx sorry just thought I'd randomly say that :) xx

Hi Jayne and Chris!

I have to ask, has the public voting ever frustrated you? Ie, have you seen one of your favourite celebrities go out early when they (in your opinion) still had a long way to go?

Can't wait for the new series!

The only one I can think of is John Barrowman who went early in the first series.

@RosieAndGin

Hi Chris & Jane, Just wanted to say that everytime I see the Bolero routine it still sends shivers up my spine, do you still get the the same enjoyment from watching/performing it?

Don't watch it too much - I'd prefer to relive it in my head! Having said that, it's our defining routine, and it will always be close to our hearts.

I know where to find David Beckham Jayne this weekend, Newcastle Australia. It all over news here in Australia.

:D

Hi Jayne and Chris,
What would be your perfect Christmas and what's on your list this year?

Lauren x

I'm looking forward to spending Christmas with my children and husband.

Yes - I couldn't say they were favourites, but I think they went out early. I think Sunita went out early last year.

Thnaks for answering my question :) On that same line then is there any creative avenue (ice-based or otherwise) that you haven't gone down, that you would like to try in the future?

Hi Jayne & Chris

What has been your favourite routine of your career, obviously "Bolero" is the most iconic, but my favourite of all was Barnum it was just genius.... You two are amazing

Will this be the last year of DOI?

How nice to talk to you guys, I've missed you a lot!

@hannah19

Who would you guys most like to work with who you havent yet?? xx

If we could resurrect somebody's that dead, we'd like to bring Fred Astaire back...

@Fimbo

Who out of all the celebrities on Dancing on Ice has been the best skater in your opinion?

Ray Quinn.

Chris will you be returning to America for Christmas this year?

Ooh thank you both for answering my question. :) x

chris,
would you ever consider wearing you costume from fire and ice again?
you and your red thong would make GREAT sunday night tv! xxx

What is it like working with your best friend for over 30 years?

Ok you guys and Fred Astaire would have been AMAZING

Obviously Bolero has been a very significant routine but we've had lots of other favourites.

We particularly enjoyed our version of the Bolero on silks this year which we performed each night on the live tour.

I cant think of anything good to ask you both!! haha
