Holly Willoughby is reportedly happier than ever after returning to Dancing on Ice without Phillip Schofield.

TM: Hosts speaks about Holly Willoughby’s return to ITV

For the first time since the reality show’s inception in 2006, Phillip Schofield wasn’t part of the hosting duo, and instead, Stephen Mulhern stepped into the role.

Phillip hosted Dancing on Ice alongside Holly, but he resigned from ITV in May 2023 after admitting to an affair with a much younger colleague.

Since her comeback, Holly is said to be enjoying the new dynamic on set and appears to be happier than ever.

Dancing on Ice pro Andy Buchanan who is currently paired with Chelsee Healey opened up about the show and spoke on Stephen’s addition to Dancing on Ice.

He explained: “I feel like I’ve got to know Holly way more, since he’s been on. He [Stephen] just opened that door.

“He’s hilarious. He jokes around, chats to everyone – and now I think she jokes more, she’s more open, she chats to us more. To be honest, it wasn’t like that before Stephen came.

“I have to say, Stephen Mulhern was the greatest addition to the show,” the dancer added to The Mirror.
