Jayne Torvill set to have surgery after 'painful injury' on Dancing on Ice

Ice skating and ice dancing can be very dangerous - and perhaps no one knows this more than professional ice dancer and Dancing on Ice judge Jayne Torvill. This evening, Jayne, best known as one-half of Olympic-winning ice dancing duo Torvill and Dean, has appeared on Dancing on Ice with her arm in a sling.

Jayne shot to success when she won gold at the 1984 Winter Olympics with her professional partner Christopher Dean. And since 2006 Jayne and Christopher have been part of the ITV1 Sunday night entertainment show Dancing on Ice where they help coach, and now judge, celebrities as they learn how to ice skate and dance.

On Sunday, February 26's show Jayne appeared with her arm in a glittery green sling that matched her sparkly green dress. Chatting to host of Phillip Schofield, Jayne explained she had injured her arm and needs to have surgery.
