Torvill and Dean, who received 12 perfect scores for their Olympic-winning routine in 1984, were both appointed MBEs in 1981 and OBEs in 2000
Ice skating duo Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean have received a damehood and knighthood respectively in the New Year Honours list, while England women's manager Sarina Wiegman has been made an honorary dame.
Torvill and Dean won gold at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo with perfect marks for an instantly iconic performance set to Maurice Ravel's Bolero.
The four-time ice dancing world champions also claimed four European titles and, in 1994, an Olympic bronze medal.
"Just to receive this honour is wonderful and humbling at the same time," said Dean.
