Holly Willoughby has been flooded with messages from fans as she took to social media with a fresh selfie as her imminent TV return was confirmed. The former This Morning stat has been away from the small screen since she returned to hosting duties on Dancing on Ice alongside Stephen Mulhern earlier this year. She was seen back rinkside three months after quitting ITV's flagship daytime show in October after 14 years on the show, saying that she was leaving "for me and my family".

The iconic challenge show is being brought back by the broadcaster for two specials, with the first coming in the next couple of weeks. and will be hosted by Holly and Stephen. ITV has confirmed the first episode will air on Saturday, December 7.
The show - which was based on German programme 'Wetten Das?' - features members of the public trying to use their own unique abilities as they face outrageous challenges in the bid to win a huge cash prize. A celebrity panel and studio audience get to guess if each contestant will complete their task, and the panel will get points for correct predictions. The celebrity with the highest score will get £10,000 for a charity of their choosing, and the lowest-scoring star will face a forfeit.
The audience will also get to weigh in by voting for their favourite challengers, who will win the same amount. The show originally ran from 1988 to 1997, with Sir Bruce Forsyth, Matthew Kelly and Darren Day appearing as presenters over its run.
