It’s props week tonight on @dancingonice … always a tricky one for our skaters,” she captioned the post.

“Also our very own @otimabuse dances for us and from watching rehearsals you are in for something special! See you on @itv at 6:30…,” she wrote.

Holly’s dress picked up a warm reception on Instagram, however, viewers who took to Twitter had other opinions.

Some viewers of the show were not impressed with Holly’s dress.

“So Holly has them out as does Bianca Gascoigne… I thought this was a family show!!” one viewer tweeted.

Another wrote: “The female host and judges need to remember this is a family show and less showing of their breasts would be greatly appreciated.”

I’ve said it before but in my opinion Holly Willoughby dresses totally wrongly for #dancingonice – a tunic style dress as opposed to a ball gown would be more appropriate!” a third wrote.

However, not everyone hated Holly’s dress. Her followers on Instagram were full of praise for it.

“You look incredible Holly!!” one of her followers said.

“Is it fairytale princess week again? J’adore!” another said.

“Love the dress you look stunning,” a third wrote.

Elsewhere on the show, it was the end of the line for a sixth celebrity.

Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor and her skating partner Matt Evers were the latest couple to leave the competition.

Their performance to You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real), using a salon chair as a prop, saw them pick up a score of 25.5. This put them bottom on the night.

Sally and Matt went up against Kye Whyte and Tippy Packard in the skate-off. However, it was Kye and Tippy who survived to see another week on the show.

“I have had the time of my life I can’t tell you how much I’ve loved doing the show,” Sally said as her fate was sealed.

“Matt you’ve been such a strength to me and I’ve loved every second with you,” she told her co-star.

Dancing On Ice continues Sunday, March 6 at 6.30pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
