Torvill and Dean in Cinderella

Manchester Opera House has announced this year’s family pantomime Cinderella will star ice skating icons Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean in their panto debut as the Fairy Godparents.

Jayne Torvill said: “this will be our first ever pantomime and something we’ve been wanting to do for some time. We’re already working on some brand new choreography which we hope will bring a whole lot more excitement.”

The Sarajevo 1984 Winter Olympics saw Torvill and Dean shoot to international fame as the pair became the highest scoring figure skaters of all time after skating to Ravel's "Bolero".
