Dancing On Ice: Josie Gibson hits back at trolls accusing her of ‘photoshopping’ backstage pics

Many fans supported Josie after her clapback

Josie Gibson made an appearance on Dancing On Ice on Sunday night for the show’s competition segment.

The This Morning presenter gushed that it was an “honour” to be a part of the ITV skating show.

However, poor Josie did face some trolling when she shared a couple of photos of her backstage.

She posted two images of herself and professional skaters Brendyn Hatfield and Mark Hanretty. The trio beamed with the ice rink in the background. 

Josie looked stunning in a teal figure-hugging dress and her blonde hair styled in mermaid-like waves.

She captioned the post: “What an honour… Thank you for having me @dancingonice and giving me my own sleigh with these two heroes. The show was incredible!!!

“It was beautiful to have the one and only @hollywilloughby back on our screens where she belongs, alongside the legend that is @stephenmulhern the competition is so fierce this year!!!”

The compliments came flooding in for Josie as one fan gushed: “You look amazing, Josie.”

Another wrote: “Fabulous, your hair looks amazing.”

I haven’t Photoshopped a thing. Nothing is Photoshopped.

Someone even said: “Should have been main host. So lovely, warm, kind and gorgeous.”

However, one troll wrote: “Someone’s been shopping, shopping at Photoshop lol.”

Another claimed: “Why Photoshop when you didn’t look like this on live on TV.”

Fans also supported Josie with one person saying: “Ignore, you don’t have to explain yourself to anyone, beautiful as always my lovely.”

Another added: “She was literally on the show dressed and looking exactly like this! Troll.”

Sunday night’s return of Dancing On Ice saw Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern host. Stephen has taken over the role from Phillip Schofield, who left ITV last May after admitting to having an affair with a younger male colleague.
