Holly Willoughby wows in stunning gold gown as she returns to Dancing On Ice for final

Holly Willoughby looked stunning in a beautiful sparkly golden dress as she prepares to host the Dancing On Ice final.

The television presenter thrilled her fans with her beautiful outfit choice for the ITV skating show's final episode tonight, as Regan Gascoigne, Kimberly Wyatt and Brendan Cole face off to be named this year's Dancing On Ice champion.

Holly wowed her followers with her long-sleeve dress of choice, which featured lots of sparkly gold embellishments across the top, complete with a flowing gold mesh style floor length train and equally flowing long sleeves.

Captioning the post, she wrote: "Tonight’s the night… it’s the @dancingonice grand finale! See you on @itv at 7pm… let’s do this @schofe …. thank you to @danniiwhiteman @patsyoneillmakeup and @cilerpeksah_hairstylist for all their incredible work this series… love you girls… Dress by @sophiecouture jewellery by @hsternofficial."

Her fans rushed to the comment section to praise her stunning outfit, as one wrote: "Serious Marilyn Monroe vibes! Stunning," as another wrote online: "How gorgeous, you're literally glowing."

"Love your dress Holly, you look stunning as always xxxx," a third added, as a fourth shared: "Dress and Make up are perfection."

A fifth wrote: "What a finale dress oh my god."

Holly will return to the show tonight after being forced to miss the semi-final two weeks ago, which saw Olympian Kye White and The Vamps star Connor Ball narrowly miss out on a place in the final three.

She was unable to make the show after a positive Covid test, with Phillip Schofield hosting the show alone instead. Holly also missed a number of This Morning shows as she recovered from the virus.

A spokesperson for Dancing On Ice said at the time: "Unfortunately, Holly Willoughby is unable to host tonight's show after testing positive for Covid-19. We look forward to Holly returning for the Dancing on Ice Live Final."

Holly is not the only presenter to have missed an episode of the series, as Phil was also forced to miss a different episode as he had, too, tested positive for Covid. On that occasion, Stephen Mulhern stepped in to replace him.

"I’m very much looking forward to being back hosting alongside my good friend Holly this weekend. It’s big shoes to fill and I’m wishing Phillip a speedy recovery," Stephen said at the time after The Mirror exclusively revealed he would be the replacement, "I’m a big fan of Dancing on Ice and for one night only I’m thrilled to be rink side watching the action unfold. It’s going to be unbelievable!"
