Holly Willoughby supported by showbiz pals ahead of her TV return after kidnap threat ordeal made her retreat from the limelight


The presenter, 42, shared her first gown of the Dancing On Ice series while hinting at her nerves ahead of her first TV appearance on Sunday since she quit This Morning.

The Mail on Sunday revealed that she met Stephen, 46, two weeks earlier for the pictures to be taken – just days after she made her first public outing since early October, when a former Essex security guard was charged with contacting a hitman in the US to kidnap and murder her. It is understood that she and Stephen did not meet the show's judges, including Olympic gold medalists Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean , but instead had their own private shoot at a studio in London. On Sunday at 6.30pm, Holly will co-host the programme - whose stars include Love Island's Amber Davies, Eddie 'the Eagle' Edwards and former Brookside actress Claire Sweeney, from ITV's studio at the old RAF base in Bovingdon, Hertfordshire.
