Holly Willoughby praises Dancing On Ice duo saying they are a 'great pairing' after judges' Icons challenge

Dancing On Ice presenter Holly Willoughby has revealed which contestants are a "great pairing" following this week's judge's challenge.

The comments were made during Sunday's episode of the ITV show following an entertaining performance by The Vivienne and her pro partner Colin Grafton.

The duo had impressed judges with their routine to Beyonce's track 'Halo' as part of the show's "Icons" theme, which saw The Vivienne forgo her usual glamour for a stripped-back performance that aimed to pay tribute to the legendary music star.

Despite a few mistakes, judges were impressed that the pair kept their composure and gave them an overall score of 33.5 out of 40, with Oti Mabuse calling it a "brilliant performance."

And it seemed presenter Holly couldn't resist giving The Vivienne and Colin Grafton her own feedback, saying: "I can see how emotional you are. You have never performed as yourself before, you didn't have that armour tonight, how did that feel?"

The Vivienne said it had been a "hard week" but said his skating partner Colin had been "his rock throughout this," to which Holly replied: "It is a great pairing."
