Dancing On Ice fans spot awkward blunder between Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield

Dancing On Ice fans have been quick to point out a very awkward blunder between Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield during Sunday night's show.

Eagle-eyed viewers picked up on the moment Phil took his co-host by surprise, to her apparent annoyance after handing over too quickly.

During prop week, Phil was seen having a chat with some contestants about their performances before announcing to the camera: "Over to Holly!"

It seemed that Phil had done his segue a little too fast as an unsuspecting Holly could be heard whispering "No!"

Realising he had made an epic mistake, Phil then tried to cover up with a preview of next Sunday's show instead.

After the VT had rolled, Holly could then be seen chatting to the contestants' friends and family in the audience – completely dismissing the awkward moment that had happened moments before.

Despite the hosts covering up their slip up, viewers at home were quick to point it out, with many taking to Twitter to discuss the "awkward moment".

One person penned: "Phil: Over to Holly. Holly: No." followed by a laughing emoji.

Another person then noted: "Also the tiny '…no!' from Holly when Phil tried to pass to her at the wrong time."

"@dancingonice think Holly was having a quick wee there as Phil went back to her and you heard Holly say 'no'," joked a third person.

A fourth person joked: "Phil will be raging that Holly said no to him. She'll get sacked."

While another viewer picked up on the frosty atmosphere, writing: "Feels like tension between Holly and Phil on #DOI. Their former chemistry appears to be missing imo [in my opinion]."

The awkward moment between Holly and Phil came before Sally Dynevor became the latest celebrity to be booted off the rink and sent back to the cobbles.

Coronation Street actress Sally, 58, and her professional skating partner Matt Evers found themselves at the bottom of the scoreboard as the judging panel accused her of "not skating enough".

Matt, 45, offered to take the blame as he was the one in charge of choreographing the routine using a chair as it was props week – but it didn't stop the judges from giving honest feedback and a total of 25.5.

Ice skating professional Jayne Torvill told her: "It was a great performance Sally and you looked very confident and happy out there.

"Because of the chair there was very little skating in between and I thought with the chair you could have been a bit creative with what you did with it."

Sally then went up against Olympian Kye Whyte in the skate off and told hosts Phil and Holly: "I think it's time to go."

All four judges chose to save Olympic BMX racer Kye and his professional partner Tippy Packard, but they all made sure to praise Sally for coming so far.

Speaking about her time on the show, Sally told Holly and Phil: "I have had the time of my life, I can't tell you how much I've loved doing this show, it's been brilliant."

Dancing on Ice airs on Sundays at 6pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
