She returns on Sunday

| Updated:

Holly Willoughby has returned to Instagram after three months away with a Dancing On Ice message.

The star will make her return to TV this Sunday (January 14) for the brand new series of Dancing On Ice alongside new host Stephen Mulhern.

The mum-of-three was last seen on screens in October – before she quit This Morning after 14 years.

Taking to Instagram on Friday, Holly shared a photo of her Dancing On Ice script.

The star captioned the post: “And so it begins…”

One fan commented: “We’ve missed you Holly, so happy that we are seeing you on our screens again.”

Another wrote: “Looking forward to seeing you on the telly on Sunday, hopefully Holly you are feeling alot better within yourself.”

Someone else added: “Wonderful news, you’ve got this Holly.”

However, one troll said: “They should have replaced you as well.”

Many of Holly’s fans jumped to her defence as one said: “Always one person who can’t be kind.”

Another added: “Totally uncalled for. If you can’t say something nice then say nothing at all.”

“How rude,” another wrote.

This Morning stars show support

Holly’s former This Morning co-stars also shared their support.

Clodagh McKenna wrote: “The QUEEN is back!!!!” Rochelle Humes added: “Let’s go girl!” Dermot O’Leary added a red love heart. Chef Juliet Sear added: “Wooooo!” “Yaaaay can’t wait,” said the Speakmans. Dr Zoe Williams then commented: “Yesss can’t wait.”

Josie Gibson and Daisy Payne were among those liking the post.
