Dancing On Ice’s Holly Willoughby looks sensational in a black couture off shoulder stretch crepe gown with flower detail for Musicals Week

Holly Willoughby was the epitome of glamor as she posed in her dress for Dancing On Ice on Sunday.

The television presenter, 43, shared on Instagram a photo of herself backstage wearing an off-the-shoulder stretch crepe dress with 3D floral detail from Marchesa.

Presenter Holly posed with her hip on her hip, with the garment perfectly accentuating her hourglass figure.

The dress featured a low-cut neckline with floral detail on each shoulder.

Referring to the headbanger, the move where a skater is picked up by the ankle and spun around by their partner, Holly captioned her post: ‘Tonight on @dancingonice we’re going to the musicals… and he’s back… The headbanger!

Holly also shared a photo of herself posing with actress Marisha Wallace, who is best known for her work in musical theatre, and is currently playing Miss Adeleide in Guys & Dolls at the Bridge Theater in London.

Marisha, 38, who was preparing to perform on Dancing On Ice as she posed with Holly, wore a glitzy white Eliza Jane Howell jumpsuit adorned with sequins that glittered under the bright studio lights as she stood arm in arm with Holly .

It comes after Holly visited Port Lympne Wildlife Park on Saturday and enjoyed a glass of champagne as she toasted her 43rd birthday in style.

The star was treated to a chic £1,650-a-night stay at the lavish Lion Lodge by her husband Dan Baldwin to celebrate her birthday.

They spent the day at the 600-acre resort with their three children Harry, Belle and Chester.

During their stay, Holly and her family were driven around the resort in a 4×4 car to see the on-site tigers, giraffes and cheetahs before enjoying a relaxing overnight stay in one of the resort’s chic lion huts.

An onlooker told it The sun: ‘Holly looked like she was having a party on her birthday and couldn’t stop smiling.

‘She was staying at one of Port Lympne’s two lodges, where visitors can stay with the lions. It is an incredible experience and very luxurious.

‘They got to drive around the safari park all day before settling in and enjoying their last night together as a family in a lodge.’

They also said it had been a ‘tough few months’ for Holly and it was ‘special’ for her to enjoy the day with her family.

Meanwhile, Greg Rutherford’s position on Sunday’s live Dancing On Ice show was on the line this weekend after he suffered an injury.

The former track and field athlete, 37, who is partnered with professional Vanessa James, 36, has already skipped the dress rehearsal as future appearances are in doubt.

An ITV source told MailOnline: ‘Greg missed the dress rehearsal due to an injury, so at the moment it remains to be seen whether he will make it to the live show tonight.’

It comes after Greg scored his highest mark yet on last week’s show when he did a salsa to Ricky Martin’s La Bomba.

The duo were confident in the routine which judge Oti Mabuse described as ‘sexy and sultry’ and praised the duo’s chemistry.

Greg advanced to this week with a rating of 30.5, while Claire Sweeney became the latest star to leave the series after ending up in the dreaded skate off with Lou Sanders.

Greg’s injury comes just after he recently expressed his guilt over his partner Vanessa being injured on the ice, saying he felt ‘absolutely terrible’.

The pair were practicing for their second live performance for Movies Week when Greg accidentally dropped Vanessa in a move that went wrong.

Speaking to the Emphatic on Sunday, Greg explained, “We were practicing one of the flows we were doing and I actually threw Vanessa completely wrong and really hurt her.

‘I felt terrible, absolutely terrible. That really hit me pretty hard, but it hit her even harder when she hit the ice.

“It was one of those things where you have to remind yourself every now and then to be as respectful as possible to the ice and the movement you’re doing.

‘The sport is a very dangerous sport so you have to be on your game, there is a huge responsibility.’

He added that he is constantly focused on making sure Vanessa is safe when practicing dangerous lifts, fearing she could get hurt.

He explained: “I’m probably the tallest person on the show, at four or three inches tall, and I have a very long wingspan.

‘When I lift Vanessa above my head she sits very, very high and if something goes wrong I don’t have to touch wood, but it’s a long way for her to fall.

‘I am always very aware of that, I want to protect her as much as possible.’

Dancing On Ice continues on Sunday February 11 at 6.20pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
