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,
