Holly Willoughby exudes glamour in a figure-hugging red gown as she returns to Dancing On Ice

This year’s series has been branded ‘cursed’ following a slew of injuries and dropouts. 

And Holly Willoughby looked incredible in a figure-hugging red gown as she made her return to Dancing On Ice on Sunday after a week off amid several accidents.

The TV presenter, 40, cut a glamorous figure for the episode, which had a movie week theme, with her dress featuring a backless detail.

The garment also featured a large bow on the back while Holly styled her platinum blonde locks into an updo for the evening.

The This Morning host took to Instagram ahead of the show and struck a series of poses to show off her breathtaking look.

Alongside the post, she wrote: ‘Well we made it! Tonight on @dancingonice we are off to the movies… see you on @itv at 6:15pm… Dress by @sassiholford jewellery by @boodlesjewellery shoes by @sophiawebster ❤️’.

On Friday, it was announced that the ITV show has been cut short and the final has been moved forward by one week. The final will now take place on 14 March.

Earlier this month, Holly shared a rare glimpse inside her private life, when she shared a throwback selfie of her and husband Dan Baldwin to mark Valentine’s Day.

The popular presenter looked loved up as she smiled for the camera alongside Dan, 46, with the two posing on a beach.

Holly lives with Dan in London alongside their three children – Harry, 11, Belle, nine and Chester, six.

Dan is a TV producer as well as the managing director of Hungry Bear Media, and has worked on many ITV shows including Through the Keyhole and Celebrity Juice.

He and Holly first met in 2004 on the set of children’s programme Ministry Of Mayhem, and began dating six months later.

Dan proposed to Holly in 2006 on the day they moved in together, and they tied the knot the following year in a lavish ceremony held at Amberley Castle in West Sussex.

The 900-year-old castle has held a special place in their heart, with the pair visiting the historic site every time there was a special occasion.

Holly designed her own wedding dress – an ivory gown which was overlaid with French lace – and asked a friend to make it for her.

She complemented the breathtaking bridal gown with a vintage veil and earrings.

The presenter confessed her dress was ‘filthy’ and even a bit ripped after her wedding day, before she wore it again to celebrate Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding in May 2018.

Holly previously shared a sweet snap from their wedding ceremony last August to mark their 13th anniversary as husband and wife.

She wrote: ‘Yesterday marked 13 years since this photo was taken… I love you so much Daniel… totally blessed… my absolute world.’
