Torvill and Dean have signed a mega deal with ITV keeping them with the channel until 2011.

The Olympic winners are reportedly being paid £250,000 each for each series of Dancing On Ice, in which celebrities pair up with professional ice skaters and perform on a weekly show.

A source tells the Sunday Mirror, “It’s a testament to their popularity that TV bosses have signed them up for such a long stretch.

“They were the first couple of the skate world and 25 years into their career there’s still no one who even comes close to stealing their crown.”
