And following their last time skating together, Christopher, 66, said: 'The performance went well and the audience were amazing and so, for us, to be able to bow out on a high like that was wonderful.'
Opening up about performing in his hometown, he continued: 'These last four performances here in Nottingham, the early ones were quite emotional and I think I sort of got that out of me, and tonight, it was a high.'
Jayne, 67, added: 'I think we'll miss it.
'When you've done all these shows like this, and you're suddenly home, not doing anything, you miss that adrenaline rush and you miss the excitement of being on the ice, whether it's a practice session or a performance.'

She told The Sun: 'Torvill and Dean are national treasures. They are fantastic people, and the most iconic skaters in the skating world as a whole, not just England, and I think Britain sometimes doesn't recognise that, or even notice that they are iconic to the world.
'So it's their show. I just love that. It's their show. So whenever they're ready, I think, then that's when it will go.'

Love Island favourite rushed to hospital after suffering painful injury in villa
A favourite to win this season of Love Island has had to be hospitalised after suffering an injury. Jamie Rhodes, who entered the show as a bombshell during Casa Amor, suffered the injury while in the villa in Majorca, and had to be brought to A&E on the island. It's understood that Jamie, who's coupled up with Yasmin Pettet, stood on a screw in the villa, and was brought to A&E with filming being thrown into chaos as a result. A favourite to win this season of Love Island has had to be hospitalised after suffering an injury. Pic: ITV 'Jamie was taken to hospital after an accident in the villa,' a source told the Sun. 'He stepped on a screw in the garden and after chatting to the villa medics they made the decision to take him to hospital. 'Filming was briefly paused and everyone was really worried as it's quite rare anyone gets taken out of the villa.' Bosses admitted that they were worried he was going to be exposed to the outside — and that other islanders would be injured — but he was bandaged up and was able to walk around, with him returning to the villa shortly after. Jamie Rhodes stepped on a screw and had to be brought to A&E in Majorca. Pic: ITV2 Jamie's injury came as the show was accused of being fixed, after it emerged that two of the islanders knew each other before entering the villa last week. Reports in The Irish Sun last week said that islanders Ty and Lauren were already 'acquainted' after they took part in the 'unfilmed' rehearsal week a few months ago, which then meant they were invited back to take part in Casa Amor. 'Ty and Lauren are acting like they've only just met but that's far from the case,' it was reported. The show was recently embroiled in a new fix scandal after it emerged that two of the islanders knew each other before entering the villa. Pic: ITV 'They hooked up during the dry run, which is where a fake cast moves into the villa to test out everything from camera angles, to kitchen appliances and run-through challenges, and then they even saw each other on the outside before ITV invited them back to be part of Casa Amor. 'Now they're both in the main villa pretending like none of this ever happened but it's all entirely fake and ITV know about it. Viewers deserve to know it's a huge sham.'
