Wiegman recognised in New Year Honours
Torvill and Dean told the BBC their latest honours - in recognition of services to skating and the voluntary sector - were the "culmination" of half a century together, which they brought to a close in July following a final tour.
However, when Torvill received a letter notifying her of the damehood, Dean said he was left wondering whether he had missed out - until his own correspondence arrived by post several days later.
Reflecting on their success, the pair who started training together as teenagers, described Olympic glory as "just amazing".
"We were almost lost in a dream when we were doing it," Dean explained. "In the arena, it was really quiet. [It felt like it was] just the two of us.
"It was only when we came back [to Nottingham] that we realised the impact because they put on a street parade.
"It was lined from where Jayne lived to the city centre. We were rock stars for a day."
Wiegman said she "could never have imagined" the "respect and warmth" from English people she has received since becoming England manager as she paid tribute to the efforts of those on the pitch.
"This title is a reflection of my exceptional team of players and staff," she said.
"Our team values mean that when there is recognition for one, then there is recognition for all. I'm proud to work alongside such a dedicated group of people."
