This Morning presenter Josie Gibson took to the Dancing On Ice stage on Sunday night, expressing her delight at being part of the dazzling ITV skating show. Josie, clad in a teal figure-hugging dress with mermaid-like waves in her blonde hair, posed backstage with professional skaters Brendyn Hatfield and Mark Hanretty, the ice rink forming a picturesque backdrop.

In an Instagram post, she shared her gratitude, saying, “What an honour… Thank you for having me @dancingonice and giving me my own sleigh with these two heroes. The show was incredible!!! It was beautiful to have the one and only @hollywilloughby back on our screens where she belongs, alongside the legend that is @stephenmulhern. The competition is so fierce this year!!!”

Despite the positive comments pouring in from fans, not everyone was supportive. Josie faced some trolling, with one user suggesting she had gone on a shopping spree at Photoshop. Brushing off the accusations, Josie replied, “I haven’t Photoshopped a thing. Nothing is Photoshopped. I don’t know what you think is?”

Her supporters rallied behind her, with one stating, “Ignore, you don’t have to explain yourself to anyone, beautiful as always my lovely,” and another pointing out that Josie looked exactly the same on live TV.

Sunday night’s episode of Dancing On Ice marked the return of Holly Willoughby and the debut of Stephen Mulhern as the co-host. Stephen took over from Phillip Schofield, who left ITV in May after admitting to an affair with a younger male colleague. Viewers were quick to praise the chemistry between Holly and Stephen, with one commenting, “Great to see Holly back and the gift that keeps on giving, the fantastic Stephen Mulhern.”

As Josie shines on the ice, she remains a hot topic, with speculation mounting about her potential new show, new love, and a new house in 2024, as predicted by a celebrity psychic.
