ITV Dancing On Ice fans spot Holly Willoughby 'change' as they make Stephen Mulhern demand

Dancing On Ice fans believed they spotted a 'change' in Holly Willoughby as she hosted Dancing On Ice.

On Sunday night, Holly was reunited with Stephen Mulhern as the pair hosted the latest installment of the ITV skating competition.

Catchphrase host Stephen was drafted in to co-host the show as Phillip Schofield remained in isolation.

The This Morning star tested positive for coronavirus on Monday but has so far been able to leave isolation earlier, under government rules, as he continues to test positive.

He will also be missing from the ITV daytime show on Monday (February 7).

But back to Dancing On Ice on Sunday night and Stephen got stuck into his new role.

He was soon telling viewers - or Phillip - that he was having fun hosting the show, leading to the usual host issuing him with a cheeky warning.

And viewers were soon making a demand.

@CH231998 tweeted: "Can Stephen stay permanently pls thank you x #DancingOnIce."
