Dancing On Ice host Holly Willoughby apologised in case she accidentally said a ‘naughty word’ at the start of Sunday’s Dancing On Ice.

After a few celebrities had performed, she said of an interaction with her co-host Stephen Mulhern: ‘A little bit earlier on, Stephen may have made me jump and I think it might have sounded like a naughty word slipped out.

‘I don’t think I did but I’m sorry if that’s what you thought you might have heard but I don’t think I did.

‘I’ll watch it back on ITV Player because that’s where you can watch these things back.’

She went on to blame Stephen for the possible mishap, insisting it was his fault for ‘being so naughty’.
