Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean think the Olympics should feature same-sex icing skating partners

OHMYGOSSIP — Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean think the Olympics should include same-sex icing skating partners.
The ‘Dancing On Ice’ judges believe the changes to the gender combinations – such as Steps star Ian ‘H’ Watkins competing with Matt Evers in 2021 and this year Brendan Cole swapping Vanessa Bauer for Brendyn Hatfield for one episode after she had to isolate due to COVID-19 – on the ITV ice dancing competition could be made at the Winter Games.
Jayne, 64 – who took home the gold medal with Christopher at the 1984 Sarajevo Games – told the Sun’s Bizarre TV Column: “Well, if it’s on ‘Dancing On Ice’, yes, anything is possible.”
Her 63-year-old partner added: “Who’s to say in a few years’ time that could change because there’s actually a shortage of male figure skaters.
“So you might have to have same sex female skaters skating together.
“All organisations are now open to diversity and inclusion. So, yes, that’s the next step.
“But it always comes down to how people are thinking and accepting at the moment.”
Chris praised Brendan and Brendyn’s Jersey Boys routine on Sunday (13.03.22) and how it “choreographed” to be like a Four Seasons performance.
He said:“I think those two, the way it was choreographed, it was just like two male skaters out there, like the Four Seasons putting on the dance.
“I think it was representative of that music and that idea.”
Last week, the 45-year-old dancer admitted that things on the show were getting “personal” before Vanessa had to drop out for the week.
Writing on Instagram, he wrote: “An exciting weekend ahead… A double elimination and things are getting personal!”
