TV presenter Holly Willoughby has made a notable return to television after a three-month hiatus, taking up co-hosting duties on 'Dancing on Ice' alongside Stephen Mulhern. Her comeback follows a period of social media silence and comes three months after her departure from 'This Morning', which was marred by a scandal involving co-host Phillip Schofield. Willoughby's return has been met with various reactions, including an 'emotional' sentiment as she steps back into the spotlight, and concerns over her potentially overshadowing the contestants on 'Dancing on Ice'. Additionally, there are reports of her being 'lined up' for a new role with Netflix. As she prepared for her TV comeback, Willoughby was supported by her showbiz friends and sparked concern among fans due to a distracting voice feature during her first appearance on the show. Viewers have also praised Stephen Mulhern as a 'perfect replacement' for Schofield, and there's a sense of anticipation around the new dynamic he and Willoughby will bring to the show. Willoughby has hinted at her nerves but is determined to take on the challenge 'one sequin at a time'. Before her TV comeback, she expressed a desire to avoid distractions, and a former champion issued a plea to fans regarding her return. Stephen Mulhern dedicated a post to Willoughby ahead of her comeback, and she broke her silence on social media with a post stating 'And so it begins'. Reports suggest that a body double was hired for her as she prepared for her return, which took place this Sunday with the start time, full line-up, and presenters announced. Willoughby shared her dazzling first 'Dancing On Ice' dress on social media, and despite a recent kidnap ordeal that made her retreat from the limelight, she was supported by her showbiz pals. During the show, Ricky Hatton humorously punched new co-host Mulhern, sending him flying to the ground on live TV, and fans noticed a 'huge change' in Willoughby.
