Holly Willoughby is set to return to Dancing on Ice alongside Stephen Mulhern, following her departure from This Morning. The presenter’s comeback to the ITV ice dance show is highly anticipated.
The presenter’s return to the ITV ice dancing show follows her decision to quit This Morning.
Stephen Mulhern is set to take over from Phillip Schofield, who previously co-hosted both ITV shows. Schofield departed This Morning in May after confessing to deceiving about a relationship with a younger colleague. The upcoming season of Dancing on Ice, slated to air next month, will feature celebrities like Olympic gold medalist Greg Rutherford, actor Ryan Thomas, former Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts, former boxing champion Ricky Hatton, and Hannah Spearitt, an original member of the pop group S Club 7.
Schofield and Willoughby had co-hosted the ice skating competition since 2006.
Mulhern and Willoughby initially collaborated on the children’s program Ministry of Mayhem during the mid-noughties. Subsequently, the show was renamed Holly & Stephen’s Saturday Showdown.
Mulhern, known for his current hosting role on ITV’s Deal or No Deal, temporarily stepped in alongside Willoughby for a skating competition in 2022 due to Schofield testing positive for COVID-19.
Katie Rawcliffe, ITV’s head of entertainment commissioning, expressed excitement about reuniting Holly and Stephen, beloved presenters, after two decades, as they prepare to co-host Dancing on Ice, marking an exhilarating start for the show this year.
Returning to judge Dancing On Ice are Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean, Ashley Banjo, and Oti Mabuse.
Willoughby made the decision to leave her 14-year tenure at ITV’s This Morning “for the sake of my family.”
Prior to her departure announcement, Willoughby was absent from the daytime program following an incident where a man faced charges of solicitation to commit murder, allegedly involving a plot targeting the TV presenter.
