Phillip Schofield in hysterics over Holly Willoughby’s rude blunder on DOI

She carried on like the true professional she is

Phillip Schofield was left in hysterics over Holly Willoughby’s rude slip of the tongue on last night’s Dancing On Ice.

Holly, 37, accidentally called the show “Dancing On A****” as the programme returned from an advert break.

Of course, being the true professional she is, Holly continued to present the show but Phil, 56, was quick to tease his co-star backstage.

As the show went off air, Phil asked Holly in a video posted to his Snapchat: “What did you just say coming back from the break?”

A mortified Holly replied: “Welcome back to Dancing On A***. Oh my god.”

Phil joked: “You finally said it, ‘Dancing On A***’. God, that’s a beauty.”

Holly made the gaffe while introducing contestant Gemma Collins and her professional skating partner Matt Evers onto the ice.

And viewers saw poor Gemma take a tumble during her routine as she face-planted the floor towards the end of her performance, leaving Matt rushing to help her up.

After her performance, Gemma fought back tears as she awaited the judges’ scores, however, she received her highest score of the series despite the fall.

During the show last night, Gemma’s boyfriend James ‘Arg’ Argent spoke to Holly and Phil about Gemma’s fall.

Asked by the duo how he felt when he saw his girlfriend fall, Arg said: “My heart completely sank.

“I’ve just been with her backstage. She’s crying her eyes out, she feels embarrassed. She is in pain, she’s got ice packs on her knees.

“I just said to her ‘you showed everyone how hard you really did work this week, and no matter what, you’ve got up and carried on’.

“I’ve just got to say quickly that if she’s in the bottom two tonight, if she goes home, I’m so proud of her. I love her so much.”
