Holly Willoughby looked ethereal in a white gown as she kicked off the live final of Dancing On Ice 2025 on Sunday.
The show host, 44, slipped into a white sparkly strapless dress which featured a structured bodice and a sweetheart neckline.
Her garment featured an ombré detailing from silver glitter to a floaty white tulle skirt which trailed along the floor.
For the show’s finale, Holly opted for a soft glam makeup look and styled her blonde tresses into lose waves.
The final will see footballer Anton Ferdinand, 40, Springwatch presenter Michaela Strachan, 58, and Coronation Street actor Sam Aston, 31.
Seeming excited for the glitzy evening ahead, Holly took to her social media and dubbed tonight’s three finalists as champions.

Sharing a post to Instagram, Holly penned: ‘Tonight it’s the @dancingonice FINAL! Our incredible celebrities @strachan.michaela @anton_ferdinand5 and @samaston93 are skating for your votes and to be our Dancing on Champion… they are all champions to me! See you on @itv at 6:30pm’
Last week’s semi-final saw Dan Edgar and pro partner Vanessa James became the latest couple eliminated, just missing out on a place in the grand final.
The TOWIE star, 34, landed in the skate off alongside Anton after judges set the contestants the challenge of including a solo perfomance in their routines.
And despite his best efforts, judges Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean, Oti Mabuse and Jordan Banjo all decided to save ex footballer Anton.
Reflecting on his time in the competition Dan said: ‘I have had an amazing experience, I am very grateful for it. We did out best tonight and I walk away with my head held high’.
However despite the skating and judge Jordan’s dance group Diversity performing, viewers branding the show ‘boring’ and begged for the series to ‘call it a day’ – amid rumours plummeting ratings could result the competition being axed.
A source told The Mirror there are concerns behind the scenes that falling viewership could spell the end for the skating series after 20 years on air.
Dancing On Ice has lost over a million viewers in the last two years, with its 2023 launch drawing in 4.1million yet no episode this series has made it above 3million.

A source said: ‘There are very real fears this is the end of the road for Dancing on Ice. It’s had a good run for nearly 20 years and has a very loyal set of viewers who really love it but the sad truth is there’s just not enough of them.
‘We need bums on seats but the ratings have dropped to a point where it’s difficult to justify the cost.
An ITV spokeswoman told the publication: ‘The Dancing on Ice team is fully concentrating on the much anticipated series finale this coming Sunday and therefore no decision has been made.’
