ITV Dancing on Ice fans say Holly and Stephen look 'iconic' dressed as Wicked's Glinda and Elphaba
Dancing on Ice has returned to our screens tonight (Sunday, January 26) for week three of the competition. The remaining contestants are taking to the ice to perform intricate dances based off popular films for movie week.
Hosts Holly Willoughby, 43, and Stephen Mulhern, 47, don't disappoint with their glad rags while presenting but they look spectacularly fabulous this episode - and fans have been quick to comment.
To mark the episode, the ITV stalwarts have come dressed as Wicked's Glinda and Elphaba. Holly looked like she was born to be a princess in a stunning pink ballgown with a plunging neckline as well as matching tiara and wand to boot. Fully committed to the look, Stephan has donned a black witches hat and green face paint with his dapper black suit.

Just hours before the live episode Dancing on Ice revealed that comedian Josh Jones had to pull out of the competition. The 32-year-old comedian from Failsworth tripped during rehearsal and injured his ankle, he revealed on the show.
Dancing on Ice's official Instagram account shared the unfortunate development. It said: "Josh Jones sustained an injury during rehearsals and has had to withdraw from Dancing on Ice.
"Josh and Tippy's partnership will be greatly missed. We will be helping to support Josh and wish him well with his recovery.'
It comes just months after Dame Sarah Storey was forced to quit the show after suffering a painful injury. The cyclist and swimmer took to her Instagram page to share snaps of her leg in a cast after fracturing her left ankle weeks before the show even began.
Fans of the popular ITV show took to X, formerly Twitter, to discuss Holly and Stephen's getup. One user, @liantanddecx, said: "I've not watched dancing on ice but Stephen and Holly as Elphaba and Glinda are iconic."
Another use, @WhoPotterVian, mentioned: "Never thought Dancing On Ice would be where I'd see a gender-swapped Elphaba from Wicked."
Instagram users have also chimed in on the pair's costumes. @izzybelle94 said: "They looked amazing! Holly looks just like a princess as Glinda." While @elainexhunter27 added: "Stephen, you look fantastic. Hope the paint scrubs off well."
Another user penned: "Holly you look absolutely stunning beautiful." @Romyzeze wrote: "Stephen Mulhern looks quite good green. Holly makes a lovely Glinda. Not pleased that there is no skate off again. It's not clear whether this is a permanent decision or not."
Dancing on Ice continues on ITV One and ITVX at 6.25pm next Sunday,

Gracie McGraw marks Pride Month, celebrates identity as 'out and proud queer, bisexual woman'
Gracie McGraw is proud to be who she is. The eldest daughter of country music superstars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill spoke out in an Instagram story post Tuesday, refuting recent headlines that claimed she was coming out after re-sharing posts in support of Pride Month. "Hello all!! It has come to my attention that some tabloids have taken an Instagram story I posted yesterday and have used it as click bait saying I've 'come out,'" the 28-year-old wrote. "Let me be VERY clear here….. I've been an out and proud queer, bisexual woman and I wouldn't have it any other way," she continued. "I have and will always be very vocal about my support of LGBTQIA+ rights and the community, but thank you so much to these tabloids for shedding light that it's pride month!!!" Pride Month has been celebrated every June since at least 1970 and spotlights the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, and asexual communities and their ongoing fight for equal rights. "So many people out there don't have the support, love, or understanding from their families when it comes to their sexuality or gender identity, but just know that there is a beautiful community out there that loves you and cares about and for you!!" Gracie McGraw wrote in her message Tuesday. "Check on your people and keep safe out there. Give love to each other." Gracie McGraw is the oldest of three and has two younger sisters, Maggie McGraw, now 26, and Audrey McGraw, who is 23. Their parents -- Tim McGraw and Hill -- married back in October 1996.

Aaron Donald responded to Jared Verse, challenged him to 'old man retirement workout'
Aaron Donald responded to Jared Verse, challenged him to 'old man retirement workout' "I'm lookin' for you, Verse! Come to the house. I just want to talk." Aaron Donald heard Jared Verse call him out for his workout videos and invited him to his house "I'm lookin' for you, Verse! Come to the house. I just want to talk." AD wants to put him through the "old man retirement workout" 😂 (via aarondonald99/IG) — Cameron DaSilva (@camdasilva) June 4, 2025 Jared Verse grew up watching Aaron Donald and idolized the Los Angeles Rams legend, but he poked the bear in a recent interview with Adam Schefter. He called out Donald for his 'little Instagram posts' of his workouts and bench presses, saying the future Hall of Famer can't keep up with him in the gym. One day after that interview aired, Donald responded. He heard Verse's comments and to the surprise of no one, he didn't back down. Donald posted a video of himself on Instagram working out and invited Verse to his house so they could settle things. 'Somebody put the word out. I'm lookin' for you, Verse!' Donald yelled from his home gym. 'I'm lookin' for you! Come to the house. I just want to talk. I just want to talk. That's it. Nothing much, big dog. Just a little conversation. Put up a little weights, do a little cardio. The old man retirement workout. Put you through it, see what you can do. I just want to talk. Come on. I just want to talk.' These are two of the most competitive human beings on the planet and seeing them go back and forth is nothing short of entertaining. It's all friendly and there's no actual beef between the two stars, but you can bet they want to make the other tap out in the gym. Now we just need Verse to take Donald up on his offer and film this one-on-one battle for the world to see. Follow Rams Wire on X, Facebook and Threads for more coverage!

Meghan Markle shares video of herself and Prince Harry dancing to ‘Baby Mama' song
As Meghan Markle and Prince Harry continue to celebrate their daughter's fourth birthday, Markle returned to Instagram to share a heartwarming video. After sharing photos of herself and Lilibet Diana over the years, and later photos of Lilibet and Harry over the years, Markle shared a video of herself and Harry in the hospital as she prepared to give birth to their daughter in June 2021. The video showed off both Markle and Harry's playful sides as they danced to the once popular 'Baby Mama' song. 'Four years ago today, this also happened,' Markle captioned the June 4 video. 'Both of our children were a week past their due dates … so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work - there was only one thing left to do!' And that was to dance it out. 'Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives,' Markle captioned an earlier post, 'and each day is brighter and better because of it. Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!' The podcast host also wrote of the bond Lilibet, who is named after her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II and her grandmother Princess Diana, shares with her father. 'The sweetest bond to watch unfold,' Markle said alongside the photos of Harry and Lili together. 'Daddy's little girl and favorite adventurer.' Markle and Harry welcomed Lili into the word after the couple made the decision to step down as working senior members of the royal family. They, along with their son Archie, lived in California at the time of Lili's birth. Her fourth birthday marks the first time that Markle and Harry have openly shared images of their daughter during that time.
