Holly Willoughby has quit one of her newer roles with ITV, with the news being revealed as she made an emotional appearance during the final of Dancing on Ice's latest series.

The broadcaster is unable to co-host the second series of game show You Bet! due to scheduling conflicts, ITV has said. The first series of the rebooted entertainment show, hosted by former This Morning presenter Willoughby, 44, and Stephen Mulhern, aired in December 2024.

‌

An ITV spokesperson said: “Unfortunately Holly couldn’t commit to the dates to host the new series of You Bet!, but will hopefully appear as a guest panellist on one of the shows in the new series.”

The revived show, which originally aired from 1988 to 1997 with hosts including the late Sir Bruce Forsyth, features a celebrity panel who bet on whether ordinary people can succeed with an unusual challenge or skill. In February, ITV announced that applications were open for the next series.

Holly and Stephen 47, also present ITV skating competition series Dancing On Ice and announced the series’ winners on Sunday evening (March 9).

‌

The final episode of the 2025 series opened with the cast reflecting on the latest series before finalists Anton Ferdinand, Michaela Strachan and Sam Aston took to the ice for a group performance to Sigma and Morgan's song Adrenaline Rush, alongside some of the show's professional skaters were also involved in the routine.

Following the performance, co-hosts Holly and Stephen teased what to expect from the rest of the episode. Holly told viewers: "It's so exciting in here, I can't tell you." After showing off the trophy, Stephen teased: "It's gonna be an emotional night."

‌

Holly added in their opening scene: "I know... don't!" Stephen responded: "You're getting emotional already." Seemingly referencing the opening scenes of the final, Holly told her colleague: "That set me off just now."

Stephen then announced: "We have a huge night ahead of us. The class of 2025 will all be skating together a bit later on. It's either going to be carnage, or it's going to be unbelievable. We will see a bit later on."

Holly said: "It will get emotional as our very own skating legends Torvill and Dean will take to the rink for their very last ever TV performance in history."

In the noughties Holly and Stephen presented ITV Saturday morning children’s show Ministry Of Mayhem, which was later titled Holly & Stephen’s Saturday Showdown.

Holly, however, is most known for presenting ITV daytime show This Morning, which she departed in October 2023. It came several months after the resignation of her co-host Phillip Schofield, who left ITV after admitting to an “unwise, but not illegal” affair with a young male colleague on the show.
