Olympic gold medallist ice skater Jayne Torvill has donated more than 30 dresses from her time as a judge on ITV’s Dancing on Ice to charity.

They will be on sale at the end of the month in Demelza shops in Rochester, Maidstone, Sevenoaks and Orpington.

Demelza, based at Bobbing, near Sittingbourne, delivers clinical care and emotional support to children facing serious or life-limiting conditions across the southeast.

Jayne has been an ambassador for the charity for more than 20 years.

She said: “As one of Demelza’s proud ambassadors, I’m delighted the dresses will be put to good use raising funds for the children and their families supported by this amazing charity, as well as raising awareness of the work Demelza does across Kent, East Sussex and South East London.”

The dresses range from designer through to high street brands and are a range of different styles.

The sale is launching at midday on April 27.

It’s not the first time the skating star has donated her dresses to Demelza.

She did the same in 2020 when she handed over 30 gowns.

Two of them were suitable for wedding outfits and went to Demelza’s bridal boutique in Canterbury.

Meanwhile, the charity is appealing for volunteers to help in its shops and anyone interested should click here.
