ITV Dancing On Ice viewers issue demand as Phillip Schofield returns to the show

Dancing On Ice viewers issued the same demand as Phillip Schofield returned to the show.

The 59-year-old broadcaster was forced to pull out of last week's edition of the ITV programme after he tested positive for coronavirus.

Stephen Mulhern was drafted in as a last-minute replacement for Phil and was reunited with his Saturday Showdown co-host for the first time in 16 years.

Phil has now recovered from his bout of covid and sent a message to Stephen at the start of Sunday's episode.

He said: "I had serious FOMO - made better by three or four gin and tonics. Well done to Stephen Mulhern as well - you're welcome."

However, Stephen's presenting stint was a hit with fans on Twitter, who said the 44-year-old should return to the show.

Daniel said: "Anyone else seriously miss @StephenMulhern? @dancingonice seemed SOOOOO much fresher with him, last week."

Darren added: "Bring back stephen mulhern"

Vicky commented: "#DancingOnIce is missing @StephenMulhern already"

Rakha posted: "What a shame we don’t have @StephenMulhern hosting again."

Dawnie tweeted: "What a shame we don’t have @StephenMulhern hosting again."

Stephanie posted : "Miss Stephen Mulhern already TBH"

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