Dancing on Ice's Phillip snaps at Holly to 'shut your face' after teasing age dig

Dancing on Ice hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield had a playful exchange over their age as the ice skating competition returned on Sunday evening.

The remaining celebrities and their professional partners returned to the ice once again to perform a series of routines inspired by music icons.

They were under the watchful eyes of ice skating royalty Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean as well as Ashley Banjo and Oti Mabuse on the fearsome judging panel.

Hosts Phillip and Holly were once again stood rink side as each of the stars performed and were given scores.

They introduced comedian Darren Harriott with skater Tippy Packard, who performed to Wham! song I'm Your Man, a song Phil noted came out in the 80s before he added: “But of course we don't remember that.”

Holly then turned to him with a suspicious look and said: “Erm…” before he quickly snapped: “Shut your face!”

One star who was not taking part this weekend was Siva Kaneswaran, who was forced to pull out of this live show due to illness.

In a statement, the ITV dancing show confirmed that The Wanted star would not be performing this weekend, but is set to return next week.

A spokesperson told the Mirror: "Due to illness Siva will not skate in this weekend's show. We look forward to welcoming him back next weekend."

While Siva said: "I'm gutted that I won't be performing this weekend but I picked up a bug earlier in the week which I haven’t been able to shake so I need to rest and get myself better.

"Good luck to all the contestants this weekend - I'm looking forward to watching everyone's performances!"

Siva also shared a video message on his Instagram account from bed as he looked incredibly tired and shared his heartbreak at being unable to perform.

He revealed that he was suffering from a viral infection in his chest that has just "got worse and worse" and he "can't shake it".

In a gravelly voice, he said: "I just want to say that I'm so gutted that I can't perform this weekend. I got a viral infection in my chest and it just got worse and worse. I just can't shake it.

"Wishing all the contestants good luck this weekend on Sunday. You'll do great, I'll be watching. Lots of love guys."

Dancing on Ice returns each Sunday on ITV and is available to stream on ITVX.
