Holly Willoughby stunned in a plunging red dress as she was set to host Dancing On Ice 2024 on Sunday night.

The presenter, 43, was wowed by the glamorous number which clung to her stunning curves ahead of the ITV show she now co-hosts with Stephen Mulhern.

She finished her look with matching red strappy heels and added a touch of elegance with a silver chain.

Her short blonde locks were worn in her sleek, short hairstyle and she opted for a radiant make-up look, complete with a touch of pale pink lip.

She wrote in the caption: 'Tonight on @dancingonice we celebrate 40 years of @torvillanddeanofficial iconic Bolero… so many special moments and memories on the show tonight. See you on @itv 6:24 (exactly!).'

Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean broke their silence on Wednesday morning when they stopped skating.

Jayne, 66, and Christopher, 65, skated to victory at the Sarajevo Winter Olympics on Valentine's Day in 1984, winning the gold medal and recording the highest ever score for a single performance.

The British skating duo will embark on a final UK tour next year, which will be their swan song and mark 50 years since they formed their skating partnership in 1975 – before officially hanging up their skates.

On Wednesdays Good Morning Britain presenters Ed Balls and Charlotte Hawkins spoke to the couple in their first interview since announcing their retirement.

Live from Sarajevo, where the couple skated to Olympic gold, the iconic duo joined GMB from where it all started to discuss their latest farewell tour.

On why the duo felt it was the right time, Chris said: “Gosh, forty years ago is a long time ago. In fact, next year in 2025 we will have been skating together for 50 years and we thought that was a very nice round number to say 'we had a great time, but it's time to retire a bit and put the skates on to hang'. .

“No more touring, except for the last tour we hope to do next year.”

Jayne added: 'We have a feeling this will be the last tour but it will be a celebration of everything we've been through since 1984, winning the Olympics, which opened the door for a lot of other things in the future.'

Dancing On Ice's Roxy Shahidi and Lou Sanders left the series last Sunday night after a shock double elimination.

In a first for the skating show, the lowest-placed couple left the competition directly, while two others faced off.

After making it to the bottom three, Emmerdale's Roxy and her dance partner Sylvain Longchambon were the couple who received the lowest scores and were automatically eliminated from the show.

On hearing she was leaving, host Holly said: 'It's such a cheeky way to go out like this. I feel sorry for you.'

After being voted off, Roxy, who had previously sprained her shoulder in training, said she was disappointed she didn't get a chance to perform at the skate off.

She said: 'I'm really proud of what I've done and what I've learned. The whole experience was incredible.”

With a score of 24.5 from the judges, Jayne said: “The marks are a bit low because you did an assisted jump for the judges challenge.”

She added that she would have liked to see more skating, while Christopher Dean agreed that he wanted her to be a bit more independent.

Judge Oti Mabuse said she was sad because she felt the performance fell 'a bit short'.

Comedian Lou Sanders and her partner Colin Grafton ended up in the skate-off with Ricky Norwood and Annette Dytrt.

Unfortunately for them, the judges, Oti Mabuse, Jayne, Christopher and guest judge American figure skater Johnny Weird chose Ricky as their winner of the night, bringing Lou's time on the show to an end.

After her elimination, Lou joked, “It's all about never giving up, so we'll be back next week.”

She continued: “I had the absolute time of my life, thank you. He [Colin] said his insurance has gone up since working with me.”

The packed show started with a shocking twist when host Stephen announced there would be a double elimination.

Holly – who celebrated turning 43 on Saturday – also said there would be a Dancing on Ice first as the lowest placed couple would leave the competition straight away and two more couples would have to leave the skate.
