Holly Willougby's TV return has been confirmed - months after her shock exit from This Morning. The presenter is set to return to ITV to front Dancing on Ice when the reality show returns in January.
Her position fronting the skating competition was in doubt after she decided to quit This Morning after 14 years. Holly, 42, shared on October 10 in a social media statement that she was leaving the ITV daytime show after 14 years. She said it had been an 'honour to just be part of its story', but said it was a call she had to make for herself and her family.
