That was a bronze for Torvill and Dean, 10 years after their famous gold, and the skating legends have often sent messages of encouragement to three-time European medallists Fear and Gibson over the years.

Torvill and Dean have said they hope there is now a new couple who can take British ice dance forward after shouldering that job themselves for so many decades.

Torvill and Dean have been following their progress with interest for several years since first meeting them on the ice at Alexandra Palace, when the youngsters asked them to look at the programme they were working on.

The Valentine's Day Bolero performance in 1984 made Torvill and Dean the highest-scoring figure skaters of all time for a single programme.
