Dancing On Ice chaos as Holly Willoughby is forced to miss the semifinals after contracting the coronavirus

DANCING On Ice was thrown into chaos tonight as Holly Willoughby was forced to come out after contracting coronavirus.

The presenter, 41, will not be alongside her co-host Phillip Schofield as she stays at home to isolate.

A spokesperson for the show said: “Unfortunately, Holly Willoughby is unable to host tonight’s show after testing positive for Covid-19. We look forward to Holly returning to the finale of Dancing on Ice Live.”

Phillip will be presenting the show solo for the first time.

Holly’s absence comes just weeks after Phillip had to miss the show with the same illness.

Stephen Mulhern filled in for him but the ITV star is recovering from surgery and is not on hand to fill in tonight.

Holly will now miss this week’s This Morning and will be replaced throughout the week by Alison Hammond, Josie Gibson and Rochelle Humes.
