Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield confirm Dancing On Ice first after Rufus Hound exit

mirror.co.uk:

Dancing On Ice hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield have shared a show first on the series, that has never happened before until now.

This is the first year since it began in 2006, according to the pair, that both celebrity contestant reserves have had to be brought in to replace injured stars.

There's always been a long list of injuries on the ITV series, from cuts, to dislocations and even breaks, and often a celebrity has had to be replaced.

But never in the show's history have they had to bring in both reserves to join the main cast, and so soon too. Denise Van Outen was forced to pull out of the show just weeks ago, after dislocating her shoulder and smashing it in three places.
