Dancing On Ice presenter Holly Willoughby has admitted she’s tempted to get her skates on for the show.
The 37-year-old presenter 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.
Asked if she could be persuaded to get onto the rink, she told Hello! Magazine: “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, who has children Harry, nine, Belle, seven, and Chester, four, with husband Dan Baldwin, credits the success of the programme to coaches-turned-judges Jane Torvill, 61, and 60-year-old Christopher Dean.

She explained of the Olympic skaters: “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.”

The TV star is delighted the ITV contest is back on screen again in its usual slot.
Dancing On Ice was the first show Holly and Phillip Schofield presented together, before they were also paired up to host This Morning.
Holly might not be too keen to join this series’ contestant Gemma Collins on the ice, though.
Yesterday, Holly spoke on This Morning about Gemma not being professional enough after she turned up late to rehearsals!
