The excitement for Dancing On Ice reached new heights on Sunday night as hosts Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern went all out for the show’s Movie Week.
Channeling the iconic characters from Wicked, Holly and Stephen transformed into Glinda and Elphaba for an unforgettable segment.
Holly Willoughby’s Stunning Glinda Transformation
Holly, 43, looked absolutely sensational as Glinda, donning a sparkly pink ballgown that featured a plunging neckline to show off a hint of cleavage.
The gown’s massive skirt, made of layers of tulle, added a magical touch.
She completed the look with a sparkling diamond tiara atop her blonde hair and wielded a star-shaped wand, evoking Ariana Grande’s portrayal of the beloved character.
Holly’s radiant appearance definitely captured the fairy-tale spirit of Wicked.
Stephen Mulhern’s Hilarious Elphaba Look
Stephen, on the other hand, took on the role of Elphaba, and his costume had judge Ashley Banjo in fits of laughter.
Painted entirely in green, Stephen’s transformation into the Wicked Witch of the West was more comedic than convincing.
Dressed in a sleek black velvet tuxedo with a sparkly tie and topped with the signature pointed witch’s hat, Stephen also wielded a broomstick and cape, making for an amusing take on the role.
Movie Week Shake-Up: No Skate-Off This Time
As the show kicked off, Holly and Stephen took a moment to address the controversial rule change that has fans talking.
This week, as with last week, there was no skate-off.
In previous seasons, the two couples with the least votes would face off in a skate-off, with judges deciding who would be eliminated.
However, this time, the couple with the fewest votes was immediately sent home, a change that many viewers found unfair.
Critics took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their concerns, with some arguing that couples should have the opportunity to perform again before being eliminated.
One user commented, “It’s not fair on them being voted out so quickly, especially when it’s their first time skating.”
Stephen responded to the criticism by joking about how well the rule change had gone down on social media, while Holly encouraged fans to keep voting.
Josh Jones Forced to Withdraw After Injury
In other Dancing On Ice news, comedian Josh Jones had to withdraw from the competition after suffering an injury during rehearsals.
Josh twisted his ankle and, devastated by the turn of events, expressed his sadness in a conversation with Holly and Stephen.
The news was announced by the show’s social media accounts, which confirmed that Josh and his partner, Tippy Packard, would be leaving the competition.
Fans and fellow contestants, including Dame Sarah Storey, who also had to withdraw due to injury, sent their support to Josh during this difficult time.
A Star-Studded Line-Up for Dancing On Ice 2025
Meanwhile, the 2025 season continues to heat up, with an impressive line-up of contestants.
From reality stars like Ferne McCann and Chris Taylor to sports legends like Sir Steve Redgrave and Paralympian Dame Sarah Storey, the competition is set to be fierce.
Each contestant brings their own unique energy to the ice, from soap stars to Olympians, promising an exciting season ahead.
For Josh, even though his journey was cut short, his participation in Dancing On Ice showed his willingness to challenge himself—something that’s true for many of the stars who have taken on the challenge this season.
