Holly Willoughby defended against 'women bashing' comments after showing leg dancing in stunning Dancing On Ice dress

Holly Willoughby dazzled on Dancing On Ice on Sunday night as she stepped out rinkside in a gorgeous black and gold gown. The ITV skating show and This Morning host was a winner in the fashion stakes during the semi-final in her chic dress with a gold neckline and thigh-high split.

After the dramatic episode, which saw two celebs Corrie's Mollie Gallagher and The Wanted singer Siva Kaneswaran eliminated ahead of the final, Holly posted a video of herself as she boogied in her gown. The 42-year-old shared the fun video clip on her Instagram of herself dancing.

The clip began with the mum-of-three facing the wall in the corner of the room as she shimmied, before kicking up her leg to show off the dress to its full effect. This Morning agony aunt Vanessa Feltz exclaimed: "Stunning!"

brendaroseblade7 sniped: "Show off." geraldine561661 told her: "A little silly. Just show the dress. Don't make it all about you." angie.fur asked: "What the facing the wall about? Otherwise your looking better than ever in that dress."

maxine3xox grumbled: "Bit cringe." And louloudiver77 exclaimed: "Doesn’t fancy herself too much!!" The remarks prompted gareth.g to clap back: "The negative comments on here!!! why do yous follow her for. Jealous horrible people! go and work on being a better person and get off social media sad people."

heids251 said: "You are beautiful Holly! Rocking that dress Don't listen yo the negatives!! Xxx" And em_comley wrote: "All these comments saying that she 'loves herself' I’m sure you would too if you looked even half as good as that! Jealously really doesn’t suit anybody."

mikeafcw70 agreed: "@em_comley Well said. To me it looks like she’s just enjoying herself and having fun. Maybe some people need to try doing the same with their lives!"

purge_the_enigma asked: "Whats with all the comments full of women bashing another woman?" And gvnrchmnd said: "Jeez there’s a lot of green eyed monsters/women about these days. I’m guessing you wouldn’t want your own daughters being judged that way."
