The skating champions left viewers in awe as they took to the ice rink to put on a show for this week's theme, which is dedicated to them.

The remaining couples take on unforgettable routines from Torvill and Dean's glittering career, including the songs, choreography and costumes.

And many said their performance was simply 'mesmerising'.

The 41-year-old presenter showed off her incredible figure in a plunging strapless black corset as she shimmered in a floor-length silver skirt.

While her chest was bare from jewellery, her skirt was adorned with black jewelled flowers that fell to the hem.

Her make-up complimented her shimmery outfit with a brush of metallic eyeshadow and a pair of pearl earrings. Her icy blonde hair was brushed into wavy tresses off her face, completing the look.

Fans took to Instagram to gush over her outfit, with one writing: "Absolutely gorgeous love the design on this dress!"

While another commented: "perfect as always, i love you."

Her pals were equally in awe over her ensemble, with judge Oti Mabuse writing: "Yessss ma’am."

Emma Bunton simply wrote: "Wow!"

Last week, Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor became the latest star to leave the competition after failing to impress the judges.

Sally went up against Kye Whyte in the dreaded skate off, and after performing for a second time, she told hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly : "I think it's time to go."

All four judges chose to save Olympic BMX racer Kye and his professional partner Tippy Packard, but they all made sure to praise Sally for her efforts.

*Dancing On Ice airs Sundays on ITV.
