Christine Bleakley has replaced Holly Willoughby on Dancing on Ice, it has been announced.
The Daybreak star, who defected to ITV last year, will co-host the 2012 series alongside Phillip Schofield.

Bleakley said in a statement: "I've always been a total Dancing on Ice addict so it really is hard to sum up how excited I am to be joining the team.
"My only concern was what a big task it is to follow the brilliant Holly and I can only promise her, Phillip and everyone at home that they couldn't have a bigger fan of the show on board."
Schofield, who works with Willoughby on This Morning,  commented: "I'm absolutely delighted that Christine is on board and I'm really excited about the new series."
Willoughby tweeted: "Good luck to Christine Bleakley on this year's Dancing on Ice. It's a truly magical show and you will love it. I'll miss you all very much!"
She quickly added: "No.... I'm not pregnant!"
There has been speculation that Willoughby's departure coincides with a new presenting role on BBC One's upcoming talent show The Voice, but nothing has been confirmed.
Dancing on Ice is expected to return for its seventh series in January.

I don't know who I dislike more. 

Bleakley versus Jones is an impossible dilemma as it is.

I think or maybe suspect that Bleakley has an teeny bit more of a braincell and possibly a gnat's more personality than the vacant and brittle Jones.  Anyway, it's Bleakley for DOI and that just about puts the nail in the coffin as far as I'm concerned.

I KNOW .............................but I love the show! Wonder what Philip thinks ........................i'd rather see Coleen Nolan (another ex DOI contestant) than Christine bloody Bleakley .....................I really do have an irrational hatred of her - don't know why.

I cannot stand Bleakley on Daybreak, and don't even get me started on that buffoon Adrian Childs.


Adrian should have retired after 'You're Fired' - I loved him on that, but I can't stand him now.

Blimey, steady on there Soozy!!!!

 

Philip must be ok with her appointment though cos didn't he throw a few toys out of the pram until he got Holly as Fern's replacement for TM..?

thanks soozy. i saw my consultant 2 weeks ago and he told me to come back in 6 weeks (now 4). In the meantime I'm having physio. it needs an operation really, but because of my condition, they can't do it. he told me I'd probably not wake up, so put up or shut up from now on. Still, I'm down to 2 tablets of morphine (slow pain release) and nothing in between.

 

While i'm at it moaning, my son called me last week to tell me that he's survived 3 operations for skin cancer. He didn't want to tell me until he got the all clear. i really hope next year might be a wee bit better.
