HOLLY Willoughby has reportedly been offered a big money deal to stay on Dancing On Ice for another series.

After tomorrow’s series finale, presenter Holly, 43, won’t have a contract with ITV for the first time in 20 years, which is thought to have left bosses scrambling to keep her.

The telly star, who’s been hosting this year’s series alongside Stephen Mulhern, could be snapped up by rival broadcasters keen to capitalise on her star power.

But it appears she’s already in talks to stay firmly where she is.

A source told The Mail on Sunday: “Dancing On Ice is definitely coming back in 2025 and the plan is that Holly will host it.

“Contracts are being negotiated but the chiefs love her and they know that there are others who would love to sign her up but ITV love her and they want to keep her very much part of the ITV furniture for years to come.

“Holly has a real fondness for the show, it really catapulted her career from a children’s presenter into grown up television so ITV very much hope that she will agree to the deal.”

The insider went on to reveal Holly is being lined up for other shows on the channel after her shock This Morning departure and alleged kidnap plot.

The blonde beauty previously presented Dancing On Ice with Phillip Schofield, but he was replaced by Stephen when it emerged he’d had an affair with a “much younger” colleague.

HOAR told last autumn how Holly was wined and dined by the BBC at a charity bash alongside Zara McDermott, who has since become a star for the broadcaster.

Holly got her primetime break for them in 2021 alongside Bradley Walsh on gameshow Take Off With Bradley And Holly.

Last year she hosted Freeze The Fear with Lee Mack.

We also revealed how Holly was pipped for the Survivor presenting gig by Joel Dommett after she struggled to make the dates work.

Holly’s rep has been for comment by HOAR.
