Dancing On Ice's Jayne Torvill posts very rare photo of her husband and children

Dancing On Ice's Jayne Torvill has shared a rare glimpse into her family life.

The TV star and professional ice skater, 65, took to Instagram to post a picture of herself with husband Phil Christensen, son Kieran and daughter Jessica, 16, as they enjoyed a day out in London.

The Olympic star's son Kieran, 20, towered over his mum and his dad Phil in the sweet photo taken on the busy Oxford Street. Jayne opted for virtually make-up free and swept her hair in a ponytail in a switch from her glam on-screen appearance.

The ice skating legend added a caption to the image, which reads: "Fun time in London this weekend. #family #shopping #fun".

Her followers went ahead to express their love for the family, with former DOI pro Brianne Decourt commenting: "What a good looking family. Miss you all."

A fan said: "It’s nice to see your family after all these years. Enjoy." "Beautiful hope you had a great time," said a third, and a fourth person commented: "A lovely family picture."

With an additional follower adding: "Glad you’re showing up more on social media!"

Jayne does occasionally share pictures of her children on social media - but her husband typically stays out the the limelight.

Of course Jayne is most recognisable when snapped with longterm skate partner Christopher Dean, with the pair forced to deny dating over the years.

The pro skating duo have become known to a new generation of fans since Dancing On Ice came on to our screens.

And as the ITV show is soon to return to the air Chris and Jayne are gearing up as another batch of celebrities prepare for the challenge including recently announced contestant The Wanted singer Siva Kaneswaran.

The 33-year-old is in the line up for the 11th series and his late bandmate Tom Parker inspired him to take part.

Hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield are predicted to return this January, after welcoming judges Oti Mabuse, dancer Ashley Banjo.

Regan Gascoigne and Karina Manta won the most recent series, after reaching the final against Brendan Cole and Vanessa Bauer, Kimberly Wyatt and Matt Hanretty.
