Dancing On Ice queen Holly Willoughby returned to our screens after three months away last night (January 14).
She was joined by a new co-host in Stephen Mulhern, who replaced Phillip Schofield after he quit This Morning, ITV and the spotlight.
However, 101 days after she was last seen on screen, viewers were quick to express their concern for Holly, who stepped down from This Morning in October to focus on her family.
Some commented that she looked “nervous”, while others speculated that she’d lost “so much weight” during her time away from TV screens.

Sharing their concerns, one Dancing On Ice fan said: “Holly looks knackered, she looks nervous, she knows everybody is looking at her, has she lost weight?”
Another agreed and said: “Holly looks nervous AF.” A third echoed: “Look after Holly. She looks really nervous.”
“Looks like Holly is going to cry everytime she speaks, clearly still fragile,” another claimed.
Others commented on Holly’s slinky waist. “Holly Willoughby has lost weight,” said one. Appearing more concerned, another said: “Holly has lost so much weight.”
‘It’s nice to see Holly Willoughby looking so well’
However, not everyone felt the same, with some commenting that her screen break had done Holly the world of good.
“It’s so nice to see Holly looking so well. I’m glad to see her back!” said one. Another added: “People hate on Stephen but he’s bringing the fun to the show that was lacking with Phil – and Holly looks more relaxed.”
A third commented: “Sorry but Holly looks amazing and so much better without all the drama of This Morning.”
