Dancing on Ice: We look back at the moment a tearful Jayne Torvill revealed her IVF struggle and her decision to adopt when she appeared on Piers Morgan's Life Stories with Christopher Dean
Last modified on Feb 03, 2019 17:40 GMT hellomagazine.com Dancing on Ice star Jayne Torvill is back on our TV screens each Sunday night judging the celebrity skaters' skills on the ice. Jayne is on top of the world these days - but things haven't always been so easy for the ice skating champion. Back in 2013, the brave dancer struggled to hold back the tears as she publicly revealed her IVF ordeal for the first time in a TV exclusive.
var playerInstance=playerInstance || []; playerInstance['J9uNnHq1']=document.addEventListener=> { window.player=lf.player; }); WATCH: Dancing on Ice in 60 seconds Jayne is happily married to American sound engineer Phil Christensen and the couple are proud parents to their adopted children, Kieran and Jessica. But she revealed that on her journey to motherhood, she first suffered an ectopic pregnancy before enduring 12 months of IVF treatment."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," she said.
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.
As Jayne fought back the tears, her proud skating partner Christopher said,"She's never talked about it in public before." The brave Olympian, 55, was also open about her decision to adopt, revealing it was a friend who convinced her to take that path to parenthood."A friend of mine had adopted a little boy. She said, 'Come and see him.' At that point I wasn't ready to look into adoption, I was still thinking it was going to happen.
