Dancing on Ice mentors Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean skated with the Olympic flame in Nottingham yesterday.
The pair, who claimed gold at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, performed a specially-choreographed routine with the torch in the county of their birth.
Torvill and Dean were presented the torch at the National Ice Centre where they danced, before receiving it later in in the day at Old market Square where they lit the cauldron.
Dean said: “It was amazing to think we could be here in Nottingham, where all our Olympic dreams started.
“This (torch relay) represents the spirit of the Olympics, and it’s a rallying cry for the whole nation to get behind.”
