In Pictures: Behind the scenes at Torvill and Dean's final show
Torvill, 67, said they would be working on other projects but will not be skating together again.
The duo wrote their names into British sporting history by winning ice dance gold at the 1984 Winter Games with their routine to Ravel's Bolero. For their farewell tour they recreated the routine, complete with their purple ombre costumes.
Following their final performance together, Dean, 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.'

Reputation review – front and swagger in brawling portrait of British male rage
Squint and you can picture the two leads of this film playing the Gallagher brothers circa the big Oasis bust-up of 2009 – all front and swagger, eyebrows set into aggrieved furrows. Instead, in this small-time British crime drama, James Nelson-Joyce and Kyle Rowe play old mates dealing drugs in the fictional northern town where they grew up. It's a brawling tale about a man who feels trapped by toxic masculinity, though in the end the film too backs itself into a bit of a dead end of macho violence. Nelson-Joyce is Wes, who has been questioning his life and choices since his best mate Tommy (Rowe) went to prison. Wes and his girlfriend Zoe (Olivia Frances Brown) have just had a baby, and there's even talk of a job. Then Tommy is released, a repugnant bully unwilling to let Wes go. Rowe's ferocious performance feels horribly real, like an angry dysregulated little boy with a need to break anything he can't have. Tommy's rage gives the film some nauseating moments; perhaps even harder to stomach is the casual misogyny in Wes's circle. Reputation is a grim portrait of male rage, though it doesn't seem particularly interested in the reasons behind it. There is a real sense of place though, in rows of narrow terraced houses backing on to wide open expanses of countryside. And for a film put together on what looks like a minuscule budget, it gets a considerable amount done. There's a promising plotline about one of Wes and Tommy's customers, the mother of a murdered 10-year-old boy, as well as little flickers here and there of another life open to Wes. But in the end it all builds to a big grandiose violent ending, which is a bit of a shame. ● Reputation is on digital platforms from 28 July.

Others were left scratching their heads, and saying they couldn't personally see it. Helpfully, others explained that the 'dog' is the red 'i' of Lidl, with the animal facing left towards the first L. They claimed the slanted 'i' looked like a dog's front paws resting up against a 'piano', with the other side looking like a tail. For those who still couldn't visualise it, someone shared a photo in the comments mocking up a dog to show it more clearly. One person wrote: 'Took a few minutes but found the dog playing piano.' Another added: 'I see it.' However, one commented: 'I don't see it and I'm totally ok with it.'

NAME MIXED UP Millions of people love shopping at budget supermarkets Aldi and Lidl - but have you been pronouncing the names incorrectly for years? The retailers have cleared up how their brand names should actually be said, and it's baffled numerous shoppers. First off, when it comes to Lidl, many British people call it with a short, sharp 'Li' at the start, which makes it sound similar to the word little. However, in Germany - where the store originated in the 1930s - the store is actually pronounced Lee-dl. 3 Germans call Lidl 'Lee-dl' Credit: Alamy Meanwhile, Aldi has also left customers torn with some calling it All-di when they do their grocery shopping. According to the German retailer, it should actually be a short 'Al' such as with the word alloy. The name actually came from the surname of the brothers who started the chain. Aldi was founded by Karl Albrecht and his brother Theo, and the 'Al' is taken from Albrecht, and the 'di' comes from discount. Although the store was initially launched in 1946, it became known as Aldi in 1962, and currently has 11,234 locations.

The best bars in London
What ' s the vibe? The sweeping, grand Scarfes Bar can be found at the front of Holborn's Rosewood London hotel. It's plusher than a boxfresh Labubu, and all very vintage New York, with white-jacketed bartenders serving ice-cold martinis. On dark, moody evenings there's even a roaring open fire to keep you warm. The name comes from the fact that legendary British cartoonist Gerald Scarfe's caricatures grace its walls. When to visit: There's live jazz seven nights a week. Time your visit for when you'll hear something swinging, which usually starts around 7pm. What to drink: Keep it sweet with a fizzy Moment of Clarity, made with Diplomático Planas white rum, tangy granny smith apple, earthy vetiver and fig leaf cordial.
