shocked holly’s ‘f-bomb’

Swear word seems to slip out on live dancing on ice episode

- BY OLIVIA WHEELER

DANCING On Ice fans are convinced Holly Willoughby swore on live TV last night after a prank by co-host Stephen Mulhern backfired.

Introducin­g Movie Week, Holly, 42, said: “Right, our next couple are taking on one of cinema’s spookiest characters, Beetlejuic­e, hoping to give their opponents the fright of their lives”

Stephen then screamed into Holly’s face, which made her jump.

A clearly rattled Holly muttered what sounded like, “f*** off ” before introducin­g Emmerdale star Roxy Shahidi and Sylvain Longchambo­n.

She then turned to Stephen, 46, gave him a playful smack on the shoulder and said: “You stupid boy.”

Later Holly addressed the outburst on the show, which started at 6.20pm, by saying: “Now, a little bit earlier on, Stephen may have made me jump and I think it might have sounded like a naughty word slipped out.

“I don’t think I did, but I’m sorry if that’s what you thought you might have heard, but I don’t think I did. I’ll watch it back on ITV player.” She then told Stephen: “It’s your fault for being so naughty.” Stephen replied: “I get the blame for everything at the moment.”

S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt, partnered with Andy Buchanan, was eliminated last night. She said she’d had a fantastic time and that skating with Andy had been a joy.

There was no skate-off – instead judges’ scores and viewers’ votes were combined to determine who would go. Holly, who left This Morning in October after 14 years, has been hosting the hit ITV ice-dancing show since 2006.

Mulhern replaced former Dancing on Ice co-host Phillip Schofield, after he left ITV last year.
