REVEALED: Holly Willoughby’s unseen ‘kind gesture’ for nervous Dancing on Ice contestants during ad breaks

Holly Willoughby has a special way of showing kindness to the celebrity contestants on Dancing On Ice during the adverts. 

The presenter, 42, reportedly always takes time to do something nice for the nervous stars while they wait to take to the ice to perform. 

According to professional skater Mark Hanretty, who’s teamed up with Adele Roberts this year, Holly always takes the time to chat to each contestant. 

Speaking to OK! in 2023: ‘Holly and Phil always come and chit-chat with us during the ad breaks.

‘Holly has been quite open about how she’d never do the show because she knows how much work it is. She’s really keen to show her respect for any celeb who takes part.’

During Sunday’s ITV show, Holly looked sensational as she returned to screens for the latest instalment of Dancing On Ice.

She put on a busty display as she wore a £1,800 black velvet maxi dress with white bows and cut out detail by Rasario.

Broadcaster Holly’s garment featured a front split which left her legs on show and she wore a pair of black Jimmy Choo heels to complete her look.

Holly took to her Instagram page to share a snap of herself before this weekend’s live Movie Week episode aired.

She captioned her post: ‘Let’s go to the Movies… it’s movie week on @dancingonice… You are in for a treat! See you soon. Dress by @rasario, shoes by @jimmychoo, jewellery by @susannahlovisjewellers.’

It comes after it was reported Holly is being eyed-up for presenting roles in the US after making her way back on to UK screens.

The TV host quit her regular job on This Morning last year amid a plot to kidnap and murder her but she returned to the airwaves this month on Dancing On Ice.

It is now claimed she could head over to America for work, with the star hopeful it will also boost her lifestyle brand.

An insider told The Sun: ‘Holly’s a free agent and for the first time in years she’s free to be courted by these huge streaming platforms.

‘A number of US networks and production companies have been interested in her for a while and she’s caught the attention of some major brands.

‘She has true star pulling power and as well as being glamorous she is a polished professional in front of the camera. It’s an exciting time in her career.’

It is claimed Holly is hoping to use any boost of exposure in the United States to push her lifestyle brand Wylde Moon, which has been compared to Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop.

The source added: ‘Holly has made it no secret that she is following the Gwyneth Paltrow brand model. Launching herself Stateside could make those dreams a reality.’

MailOnline has contacted a representative for Holly for comment.
