Holly Willoughby has hinted she could compete on ‘Dancing On Ice’ one day.
The 37-year-old presenter – who has children Harry, nine, Belle, seven, and Chester, four, with husband Dan Baldwin – would love to learn to ice skate but thinks she would need to have a good block of time to be able to learn more than just the basics.
She said: "Ice skating is such a beautiful thing to learn to do, it’s one of those things where you go, ‘I’d really love to learn to do that but when am I ever going to do it?’ "
Asked if she could be persuaded to get onto the rink, she added: "Do you know … I would. I’d absolutely love to learn how to do it – but you can’t just go and have a one-hour lesson. I think it’s finding the time to do it properly – but yes I would love to … One day."
Holly credits the success of the programme to coaches-turned-judges Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.
She explained: "I think it’s very much due to the power of Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, because they are such a British institution, they’re legends in their own right.
"To be taught by those two or to have them as part of the show is such a unique experience. I think that’s why people still really want to do it."
‘Dancing on Ice’ was the first show Holly and Phillip Schofield presented together, so she admits it will always be special to them.
She said: "For that reason alone, I think it’s a very special show for both of us. We really got to know each other on that show."
And the blonde beauty is delighted the contest is back on screen again in its usual slot.
She added to HELLO! magazine: "It’s lovely because it’s just after Christmas and January is like a really cold, dull month and it suddenly explodes with sequins, glitter, and magic onto your TV screen. I think it’s what everyone needs after Christmas is over."
