Holly Willoughby set to return on Dancing On Ice after Phillip Schofield exit, reports say

Holly Willoughby is set to return as host of Dancing On Ice following Phillip Schofield's exit, according to reports.

Holly co-hosted This Morning alongside Phillip for 14 years. And viewers were also used to seeing them side-by-side on Dancing On Ice.

However, following Phillip's recent affair admissions and his exit from ITV, rumours started circulating about Holly's future on Dancing On Ice. But sources have claimed she is planning to return for the next series, reports The Mirror.

"Holly wants to stay on at Dancing On Ice, she's made that clear to all concerned and everyone at the network is absolutely delighted," an insider explained. Speaking to MailOnline, they continued: "They haven't discussed contracts yet, as that will take place after the summer as always, but she's indicated it will be business as usual. There have been all kinds of rumours that she is to leave but she loves the programme and has a long history with it."

According to the source, Holly will have somewhat of 'a say' on who her new co-host will be. The Mirror has contacted Holly's reps and ITV for comment.

It has been a difficult few weeks for Holly, who has found herself caught up in Phillip's affair scandal. As well as that, several famous faces also insisted that Holly should have quit her role on This Morning amid the scandal, with stars including Eamonn Holmes and Kim Woodburn publicly blasting the mum-of-three. Despite it all, Holly returned to the This Morning couch earlier this month after a number of weeks away.

After admitting to the affair, Phillip stepped down from all his duties with ITV. Holly released a statement saying she felt "let down" by Phillip, adding that she knew nothing about his affair with the young This Morning colleague.
