Fans appeared to be concerned for Holly Willoughby after she was flooded with negative comments as she shared a look behind-the-scenes at her photoshoot for Dancing On Ice. The presenter is set to return to the rink as co-host of the show alongside Phillip Schofield next week.
The first images of the hosts and judges of the hit skating show were revealed by ITV earlier this week ahead of the first episode next weekend, on Sunday, January 15.
In one of the photos, Holly beamed in a strapless silver dress that sparkled from top-to-toe. The mum-of-three had her trademark blonde locks styled into soft waves but kept her jewellery to a minimum, simply donning a glitzy pair of earrings and her wedding ring.
Phillip, meanwhile, looked ever so dapper in a black, high-neck jumper under a beige blazer which he paired with matching dark trousers and shoes.
And with an official first look at the new series released, Phillip, 60, shared the photos on Instagram and said "Fairy lights might be coming down, but @hollywilloughby has her sparkles back on which can mean only one thing! #DancingOnIce is back!"
Holly was quick to reply, simply typing: "Exciting," alongside a red heart emoji before taking to her own Instagram page with a look at the photoshoot. Holly appeared to be gazing at her This Morning co-host as he smiled for the camera.
The mum-of-three also posted a second snap which showed her donning her sparkling dress which reportedly comes with a £4,000 price tag from designer Monique Lhuillier. But the comments were quickly filled with people being divided over the show's return to screens.
@shendybean said: "Oh no this has definitely run it’s time now I think we should also get some new presenters now on certain programmes is there no one else." @kizznco echoed: "Omg…really! Do we have to see any more of these two? They’ve run their course. Cringe!"
Others, however, were quick to show their support. @s_ophr wrote: "Don’t understand why people are saying “get new presenters” and “the show has run its time” uhhh ant and dec have had shows for just as long, just don’t watch it maybe???" @jennysully added: "Everyone making negative comments were probably the people quoting BE KIND."
Meanwhile, some expressed their concern. @1973pt said: "Why does Phil get to wear warm clothes with a roll neck and jacket whilst Holly has to wear a dress that only covers half her body? Holly must be freezing in the ice rink."
But @crawley1914 commented: "You look so sad what's the matter." @slimboyfat2410 echoed: "Where has that beautiful smile gone .... you look well pee Ed off Holly."
