Torvill and Dean to go head-to-head for Strictly Come Dancing charity special Dancing On Ice stars Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean are swapping the rink for the ballroom in a Strictly Come Dancing special - and will be pitted against each other. The duo, whose ITV show will come to an end after its ninth series next year, will be taking part in a one-off performance for the BBC's Children in Need appeal next month. The figure-skating champions are pairing up with Strictly's professional dancers James Jordan and Aliona Vilani to perfect their routines. With a glitterball in the shape of Pudsey Bear at stake, the duo will have a week to learn a routine, and will perform to a medley of tunes including Let's Face the Music and Dance, which was the accompaniment to their bronze-winning performance at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. Their dance-off will be screened during the Children in Need appeal show on November 15, during an evening-long broadcast that will also include an appearances from One Direction and a special Doctor Who segment.
