Josie Gibson has been forced to issue a denial after being seen publically supporting former This Morning co-star Holly Willoughby. The presenter appeared live on the rink on Sunday night (January 14) as Dancing on Ice returned to screens with Holly and Stephen Mulhern as hosts.
Holly, who left This Morning in October after 14 years on the sofa, has been hosting the ITV skating show since 2006 and after she worked two decades ago with Stephen on ITV Saturday morning children’s show Ministry Of Mayhem, the pair joined forces as he replaced Phillip Schofield as her co-host.
On Sunday, the 2024 series of the skating competition kicked off with an opening performance from the professional skaters and the introduction of the new celebrity contestants. Holly, who looked sensational in a silver sparkly dress, officially opened the show by saying: "To the greatest show on ice, and let’s hear it for the amazing cast of 2024. Let me just say a huge welcome to Stephen Mulhern."

Later, Holly was given extra comfort by having Josie around who was on hand to bring viewers details of Dancing on Ice's series-long competition. She made her surprise appearance as she came onto the ice rink on a sleigh, flanked by two of the show's professional ice skaters.
She looked thrilled as she threw her hands up in the air while being pushed onto the ice before Holly, 42, said: "It's so lovely to see you, how are you?" Josie, 38, then replied: "It is so lovely to see you, Holly and Stephen, and thank you for having me. What an entrance. I feel like all my Christmases have
