Oti Mabuse reveals she’s waiting for Dancing on Ice contract
Dancing on Ice might be in crisis as reports suggest usual host Holly Willoughby hasn’t signed a deal to present the series this year.
According to The Sun, bosses are panicking over the situation after Holly quit ITV’s This Morning last month and reportedly she hasn’t confirmed whether she will be hosting the popular competition early next year.
An insider told the publication: “The producers of Dancing on Ice are in limbo until they can resolve the issue of who’ll be steering the ship when the show returns.
“Although it usually doesn’t start until mid-January, bosses still now find themselves working on a timescale measured in weeks, not months.
“It’s a very precarious position to be in when they have all the crew and a group of celebrities already working towards the first show, but nobody nailed on to present it.”

Dancing on Ice is normally hosted by Holly and her former This Morning co-star Phillip Schofield.
Phillip ended up leaving the daytime show in May after admitting to having had an affair with a younger colleague.
Holly continued to present with the other hosts but announced in October she had made the decision to leave.
An ITV spokesperson told Express.co.uk: “Further announcements regarding Dancing on Ice will be made in due course.”

Holly and Phillip hosted the ITV series from its launch in 2006 until 2011.
They took a brief hiatus as Christine Lampard hosted until 2014 before the show stopped airing for a few years.
ITV revived the series in 2018 when Holly and Phillip returned to their presenting duties.
Phillip’s departure saw rumours regarding who could replace him to front the show alongside Holly.
The celebrities taking part in this year’s show were announced in September.
They include Ricky Hatton, Claire Sweeney, Hannah Spearritt, Amber Davies, Greg Rutherford, Miles Nazaire, Stephen Webb, Lou Sanders, Ricky Norwood, Adele Roberts, Ryan Thomas and Roxy Shahidi.
Dancing on Ice is set to return to ITV in January.
