Project 52: Week 10

Torvil and Dean

This is another of my ‘bad photo – good memory’ entries into Project 52. It’s a sneakily snapped iPhone shot of Jayne Torvil and Christopher Dean at the filming of Dancing on Ice last night, which I went to with DorkyGranny.

DorkySon and DorkyDad: they’ve got a good thing going on.

I was thrilled to see coverage of the launch in a prominent position on the BBC and Guardian websites, as well as ALL OVER Twitter and Facebook!
