They have been left baffled as to how the skating partners will be included into soap storylines.

One fan wrote: “1. Torvill and Dean seems really random – Who has an interest in Ice Skating? 2. Who is getting married??? I wonder if it’s Mack and Chloe with Chloe exposing Mack and humiliating him on Xmas day?”

Another Emmerdale fan said: “Torvill and Dean, the show still hasn’t improved even after Jane Hudson has left, the writers are dreaming.”

A third fan pondered: “Well I don’t know how they will fit into storyline, it’s usually who’s shacked up with who, or who’s pregnant or who’s murdered who…”

A final person commented: “Why ?? Whatever for lol. Someone’s getting desperate.”
