The 'Dancing on Ice' judges were performing at the BP Pulse Live Arena, in Birmingham, yesterday afternoon (Sunday) when Jayne, 67, tumbled to the floor.
The audience can be heard gasping at the incident but Jayne managed to quickly get up and the iconic skating duo continued their routine.
They became famous for their performance at the 1984 Winter Olympics as they got the highest possible ‘perfect’ score - the only time that has been achieved.
The iconic moment is one of the most popular achievements in the history of British sport, as it was watched by over 24 million people on TV in the UK.
The pair, who have been skating together since 1975, are now performing their 'Torvill and Dean: Our Last Dance' tour at several cities across the UK including London, Sheffield, Nottingham, Newcastle, Manchester and Liverpool.
After the incident, Christopher thanked the audience and said that sometimes ice skating can be "scary" for Jayne.
He said: "Thank you so much. "As you can see, sometimes it gets scary out here. "Scary, scary - for Jayne anyway."Christopher, who has been in a relationship with British ice skater Karen Barber since 2011, then went onto thank the audience for attending the show.
He said: "It has been a terrific show and thank you to my wonderful skaters here and to Jayne."We are really honoured that you spend your time to come out and see us on a Sunday afternoon and share some of our 50-year career highlights.
"It's been so memorable and we will always remember today.
"Thank you for your memories everyone."
