Holly Willoughby looked nothing short of sensational as she gave fans a glimpse at her dazzling ensemble ahead of the launch of the ITV launch show.

The 43-year-old broadcaster looked effortlessly glamorous in a strapless blue sequinned dress by designer Suzanne Neville. The fitted dress featured a bustier top and silver embellishment running from the bust and across the body to the waist.

She kept her accessories to a minimum wearing diamond earrings but no neckpiece. Her hair was longer than it has been in recent times and styled into loose beachy waves.

The starlet oozed glamour as she posed up a storm for her followers as she thanked all involved in her jaw-dropping look on Instagram.

Holly captioned the post: "And we’re back… @dancingonice 2025! Good luck to all our celebrities @stephenmulhern get your skates on. See you on @itv at 6:30…"

"You look stunning @hollywilloughby looking forward in watching the show this evening," a third chimed in. "Beautiful dress Holly. You look gorgeous as always," a fourth opined.

A fifth gasped: "Oh Holly! That dress is stunning and you look beautiful", meanwhile a sixth wrote: "Isn't Holly just absolutely stunning in anything she wears!"

Tonight's show sees eleven new contestants take to the ice in the hopes of being crowned champion at the end of the series. Over the past few years, soap stars have proven to do well on the show.

Last year's winner was former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas who was paired with professional figure skater Amani Fancy. No doubt fellow Corrie lefend Sam Aston will be hoping to follow in his footsteps, however he has competiton from ex-EastEnders star Charlie Brooks and Hollyoaks Chelsee Healey.
