The pair's last live episode was screened on December 17 before they appeared on the This Morning Christmas Special on Christmas Day, which was pre-recorded.
"Everyones surprised," Alison remarked, to which Dermot confessed: "You're no more surprised than we are to be back."
Today (Sunday January 9) Holly shared a video clip on her Instagram showing her sledging in an idyllic wintry location.
Holly was beaming from ear to ear as she sledged towards the camera in a snuggly winter coat and bobble hat.
And she ramped up the excitement about the upcoming series of Dancing On Ice, which returns next Sunday, and her new BBC show Wim Hof’s Superstar Survival, which will follow a group of celebrities as they embark on an epic adventure of self-improvement.
"Prepping for an icy January… I’m ready for you @dancingonice and @iceman_hof," she wrote.
One follower pokonis1 asked Holly: "Returning to work any time soon to earn you inflated salary??? Just asking."
laurensophie88 said: "Ahhhh that’s why you weren’t on This Morning."
And sawkinstracy commented: "Omg it's alright for some."
But other fans were delighted to see the TV favourite having so much fun.

And craigclark441 asked: "Cool that looks fun where is that?"
However, normal service is expected to be resumed tomorrow (Monday January 10) with Holly and Phil returning to the daytime show.
