Dancing on Ice judge Christopher Dean's life off screen including relationship with co-star


Christopher Dean is best known as one half of iconic ice dancing duo Torvill and Dean, but off screen fans are surprised to learn of the Dancing on Ice judge's romantic history

The pair captured the nation's hearts when they won gold at the Sarajevo 1984 Winter Olympics and have since become familiar faces as expert judges on ITV's Dancing on Ice. With both having stepped away from lengthy marriages — Christopher from Jill, and Karen from her previous partner Stephen Pickavance — the pair discovered solace and affection within each other. The star-studded line-up includes fan favourite Michaela Strachan, EastEnders' Charlie Brooks, Olympic rower Sir Steve Redgrave, TOWIE's Dan Edgar, and reality TV sensation Ferne McCann.
