Christopher Dean's fitness plans
FOR a man in his 50s, Olympic skating star Christopher Dean is in great shape – and Jayne Torvill’s sporting partner reveals he’ll even exercise on Christmas Day to help stay that way.
The 53-year-old is spending the festive season in Colorado with his two sons Jack, 13, and Sam, 11, and confesses:
“My problem (over food) is volume. I like a lot of what I like. We’re conscious of it as we’re getting older so we try to keep the gym up and I go mountain biking.”
The Dancing On Ice coach adds: “I’ve been known to go out on the bike on Christmas Day because it’s always sunny in Colorado.”

However the celebrities who are learning to skate for DOI aren’t quite as disciplined, with partner Jayne, 54, warning:
“You don’t want the celebrities to relax too much over Christmas. They’ve done so much training and we’ve had some who say they’re off to the Caribbean for two weeks and we say: ‘Oh no!”
