Dancing on Ice since its inception in 2006.Sharing their honest critiques on performances as well as wowing viewers with their incredible skating talent, the much-loved Olympic medallists have become an integral part of the show.But although Torvill and Dean previously had fans questioning whether they share a romantic connection, the skating pair are currently in healthy relationships outside of their union and both have children too.So Daily Star has taken a look inside their family lives and the tragedy that unfortunately hit Jayne when she was in her 40s.Professional dancer Jayne, 64, spoke openly about experiencing an ectopic pregnancy when she appeared on Piers Morgan's Life stories in 2013.The star who has been married to her husband Phil Christensen for over 30 years admitted that she tried to conceive relatively late in her life, but when she did become pregnant the fertilised egg implanted itself outside of her womb.She then endured 12 months of IVF treatment but it came to no avail.Sharing her story with the presenter she said: "As a couple skating together, it's easy for the guy to go off and start a family because it wouldn't affect his skating."Whereas for me, it would have stopped what we were doing, so I left it quite late and I was into my forties by then."She continued: "I got pregnant quite quickly and I thought, 'Oh this is fine'.

And when I went to have a scan they said I had an ectopic pregnancy, and I didn't know what that meant. "They said, 'The embryo's growing in one of the tubes'.

And I said, 'Oh, ok, so how do you get it out then?'. And they said, 'We don't. We can't'."That's when it hit me. So I went through the surgery and then it was obvious it was going to be more difficult.
