Torvill and Dean get £1.5m 'Dancing' deal

Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean have signed up to appear on Dancing On Ice for three more series, reports claim.

Each will be paid £250,000 a year until 2011 for their coaching roles on the ITV hit.

"It's a testament to their popularity that TV bosses have signed them up for such a long stretch," a source told the Sunday Mirror.

"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."

However, a spokesperson told DS: "ITV can confirm that there will be another series of Dancing On Ice but beyond this, anything else is pure speculation."
