Emmerdale is gearing up to add ice skating superstars Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean for a special Christmas episode of the ITV soap. The Dancing On Ice judges, who were first known for winning the gold medal at the 1984 Winter Olympics, are set to make an appearance in the village. The exciting addition will undoubtedly thrill fans as 65 year old Chris also shared his enthusiasm for the career move.
“It is amazing being here," the athlete said in an interview. "We have jumped from watching Emmerdale on TV to being in a scene. "From the screen to the scene.
I’m loving it," the star went on, and ITV have also confirmed that filming for the special scene took place at a secret Leeds location. It will also see the duo doing what they do best - skating on ice.
Torvill said: “I can’t wait to watch the episode that we are going to be in. It will be surreal sitting at home watching it.” The production has also teased an Emmerdale character making a festive marriage proposal in the Christmas instalment.
The soap's producer Laura Shaw said: “We are delighted to welcome Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean as our very special guests to Emmerdale.
“Torvill and Dean certainly promise to bring the Christmas magic sparkle to the show.” The ice dancing duo are judges on reality TV competition Dancing On Ice, which is set to return on ITV1 next year. Former world champion boxer Ricky Hatton, Coronation Street actress Claire Sweeney, singer Hannah Spearritt, West End star Amber Davies and Olympian Greg Rutherford are among the celebrities set to take part in the 2024 series. The news of Torvill and Dean's arrival in the Dales comes as the Emmerdale producer also teased plenty more action for the Christmas episodes.
