The 36-year-old mum-of-three made unmissable television when she hosted the show alongside the Schofe, with her variety of glamorous dresses establishing her as a fashion icon.

The television personality revealed: "I haven't started shopping for dresses yet. I am looking forward to that. There are not many shows where you can really glam up.

"I am looking forward to seeing what the skaters are wearing – that whole explosion of sequins, glitter and glamour especially in January when it is dark and dreary."

Holly set pulses racing when she wore a low-cut white dress in 2008, with her plunging cleavage even causing some viewers to complain that her outfit was somehow "offensive" to younger fans.
