Holly Willoughby Dazzles in Plunging Gown for Dancing on Ice Amid Outfit Controversy
On Sunday, during her presentation of Dancing On Ice, Holly Willoughby was simply stunning, putting forth an exceptional performance.
For the event, the 43-year-old presenter elegantly donned a stunning dress that accentuated her remarkable physique perfectly.
In a bold, plunging neckline, Holly’s resplendent golden gown shimmered brightly under the stage lights. She chose not to wear a necklace, allowing the striking outfit to make its own statement.
She enhanced her appearance with glamorous makeup, donned a pair of diamond earrings, and loosely curled her blond hair to style it.
The event occurred merely weeks following a wave of supporters defending Holly’s attire selection during the television series’ movie-themed episode.
In a spectacular move, she along with her co-host Stephen Mulhern went all out for “Movie Week” on the ice rink, magically transforming into the characters Glinda and Elphaba from the musical “Wicked”.

Holly was stunning in a shimmering hot-pink ballgown featuring a deep neckline, hinting at a peek of her elegant decolletage, and a voluminous skirt crafted from multiple layers of tulle.
While some spectators expressed criticism towards Holly’s attire, labeling it unsuitable for a “family program”, others have come to her aid.
On Twitter, they wrote: “Holly is radiant as Glinda”; “Although I haven’t seen Dancing on Ice, Stephen and Holly portraying Elphaba and Glinda are unforgettable.
‘Love that Holly and Stephen are dressed as Glinda and Elphaba from Wicked, my fav musical’;
‘Ok.. Holly Willoughby as Glinda is incredible, and simply perfection.’
On Instagram, well-wishers expressed their support by saying, “Both of you looked stunning, Holly, just like a radiant princess.
Wow, Glinda, you truly embody beauty!” or “You’re a stunning Glinda!” or “Holly, you’re looking fabulous, Steven!” These phrases convey the same sentiment but use different wordings to maintain natural and easy-to-read language.
Following some viewers expressing their dissatisfaction regarding Holly’s attire, considering it too extravagant for a family program, the positive remarks were made later on: ‘The comments on Holly’s outfit are more favorable now.’

One person wrote: ‘She always seems to flaunt herself – isn’t that the kind of dress she often wears?’ Another suggested: ‘Does she aim to outshine Amanda Holden in her fashion choices?’
In the most recent installment, Stephen’s expression widened in shock as Holly’s mouth gaped open when her companion feigned ignorance upon hearing that contestant Chris Taylor was performing to the tune ‘Golden Hour’.
He feigned surprise at the disclosure, humorously assuming that Holly was making a suggestive allusion to an adult sexual act.
Surprised by a sudden realization, Holly caught her breath as the camera switched, revealing Love Island celebrity and his companion practicing their dance routine before skating.
Following the withdrawal of professional dancer Eric Radford due to an injury, EastEnders actor Charlie Brooks, aged 43, found herself without a dance partner.
Through an announcement, it was disclosed by the official X account of Dancing on Ice that he got hurt while practicing for the show.
next to a photo of the professional skater, the post wrote: ‘Regrettably, Eric Radford got hurt during practice sessions.’
According to his doctor’s recommendations, Brendyn Hatfield will take Charlie Brooks’ place on the ice this week since the original skater won’t be able to skate with him.

‘We wish Eric a quick recovery and hope to see him back on the ice next week.’
It believed that Eric sustained a back injury and was rushed to the hospital for an MRI scan.
Regarding the unexpected injury, Charlie explained to The Sun that Eric sustained a problem with his back which caused his thigh muscle to malfunction. As a result, Eric is required to undergo an MRI scan and has been advised to take this entire week away from the ice. This news is really disappointing.
‘It’s such a shame, he’s my number one and I will be lost without him.
However, I’m looking at this from a different angle and find it intriguing to skate with someone new, especially Brendyn since he seems quite interesting. It would be enjoyable to learn more about him.
