Holly Willoughby to address three month absence on TV return

Last week, it was confirmed that Holly Willoughby would be returning to host Dancing On Ice after three months away from TV.

According to one telly insider, Holly is keen to put 2023 “behind her” – and will thank fans for their support upon her TV return this month.

“She is considering a very brief comment at the top of the opening show. Along the lines of ‘It’s good to be back’ or ‘Thanks for your support.’ Drawing a firm line under her hiatus and marking the beginning of a new optimistic term,” they told The Sun.

Holly will be hosting alongside Stephen Mulhern when the show comes back.
