Holly Willoughby apologises to DOI viewers who thought she said a ‘naughty word’

Holly Willoughby expressed regret in case the audience watching Dancing On Ice might have assumed that she used a vulgar word while opening the program.

On Sunday's episode's beginning, Stephen Mulhern, her co-host, delivered his lines with a megaphone, that unexpectedly surprised Willoughby.

Willoughby stopped the events momentarily on Sunday to explain the situation, following a few celebrity performances.

She mentioned: "Earlier, Stephen surprised me and I may have spoken a bad word by accident."

I don't believe that I did what you think you heard from me. However, I apologize if that's what you believed, I truly don't think that I did it.

“I am going to view it again on ITV Player as that is the platform where such content can be revisited.”

She also informed her new co-host Mulhern that he was to blame for "misbehaving so much".

The TV anchor, aged 42, departed from This Morning in October after spending a total of 14 years on the program. Since the year 2006, they have served as the presenter for the ITV ice skating program.

She took some time off from appearing on TV for a while, but she came back when the latest season of Dancing On Ice began.

Mulhern assumed his position after Phillip Schofield left ITV in the previous year.

Before the upcoming show on Sunday, Willoughby displayed her attire for movie week on Instagram.

In the third week of the show, she wore a stylish black Rasario outfit that had a unique cross-strap neck and a high slit. The outfit also had two white bows that covered a keyhole cut around her waist. She matched the outfit with stunning black strappy Jimmy Choo heels.

Beside the post, she penned: "Shall we head to the cinema... it's movie-themed week on @dancingonice."

"Prepare yourself for a delightful experience! We can't wait to see you soon at ITV."

The ITV channel is airing the ongoing series of Dancing On Ice.
