During those dark, dreary first weeks of January, what we're most in need of is something to lift our spirits and few shows do that as well as the seasonal glitter-fest that is Dancing On Ice. A huge part of its success is the resence of much-loved host Holly Willoughby who, along with Phillip Schofield, presides over the spectacular action on the ice with her trademark cheeky wit and the occasional fit of giggles. For Holly, Dancing On Ice comes along just when we all need a boost.
“It's a great start to the year, because Christmas is over and you have a little bit of a peak for New Year's Eve and then it's January it’s gloomy, grey and cold and it's back to work and back to school,” she reasons. Suddenly, Dancing On Ice is back and it's the antidote for all of that.”
The mum-of-three took a break from co-hosting duties in 2011, but made a welcome return in 2018. Since then, the 41-year-old hasn't looked back.
“There isn't anything quite like Dancing On Ice,” she says ahead of the show's 15th series. think I'm a fan of this type of show anyway, when somebody challenges themself to do something and when someone works with an expert.
"The professionals are so fantastic and the choreography is so beautiful. Ice dancing is so beautiful to watch I remember watching Torvill and Dean as a kid. It's the combination of all of those things that I love and obviously with Dancing On Ice you have that added bonus of the ice itself, which is its own character."
In fact, the ice is the only element of the show Holly would rather steer clear of, saying she has to cover her eyes when the celebs take to the rink.
