Holly Willoughby fans rush to defend her as her plunging dress is slammed as ‘not suitable for a family show’
DANCING On Ice host Holly Willoughby has sent fans wild with her outfit choice for tonight’s show, with fans now rushing to defend the star.
Transforming into Wicked’s Glinda the Good Witch for Sunday night’s episode, Holly emerged on stage in a plunging pink dress – which wasn’t loved by all viewers.
With Stephen Mulhern channelling Elphaba from the hit movie and theatre production, the duo sent fans into a frenzy on social media with their fun costumes for movie night.
Reacting to Holly’s outfit, fans went wild on X, with many quick to share their thoughts.
One person gushed: “Holly as Glinda and Stephen as Elphaba pure magic.”
“Love that Holly and Stephen are dressed as Glinda and Elphaba from Wicked, my fav musical,” swooned a second.
A third then said: “Jesus… Oti and Holly look INCREDIBLE!”
While a fourth penned: “HOLLY WILLOUGHBY AS GLINDA WOW.”
A fifth then said: “Ok.. Holly Willoughby as Glinda is incredible, and simply perfection.”
But not everybody loved the sexy yet sweet display, with one slamming: “Holly’s dress is a bit much for a family show.”
“She’s a show off – when didn’t she wear those sort of gowns,” added a second.
A third then penned: “Holly Willoughby being Glinda is ……… what’s the word I’m looking for.”
Defending the star, one person wrote: “I think Holly always looks stunning. Why such outrage on what she’s wearing? I bet it makes her feel fantastic and confident – isn’t that the point?”
While another echoed: “This is awful tbh. Holly Willoughby always looks absolutely stunning each week, also it is great to see Holly and Stephen making an effort for Movie Week #DancingOnIce.”
Holly looked great in the plunging pink ballgown, which accentuated her waistline and showed off her sensational figure.

WICKED OBSESSION
This comes as the world continues its obsession with the Wicked movie franchise after the flick hit cinema screens in November.
Set in the Land of Oz, before Dorothy Gale’s arrival from Kansas, the movie focuses on Elphaba – played by Cynthia Erivo.
Elphaba is the future Wicked Witch of the West, and the movie explores her friendship with her classmate Glinda (the good witch) – played by Ariana Grande.
The movie, which came out in November 2024, is the first installment of a two-part film adaptation of the stage musical of the same name by Stephen Schwartz and Holzman.
The musical was loosely based on Gregory Maguire‘s 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.
The aforementioned novel reimagines elements of the Oz books and the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, with the new movie a prequel of sorts.
