New Dancing on Ice presenter Christine Bleakley has revealed she will front the show in a more modest fashion than predecessor Holly Willoughby.
Northern Irish host Bleakley has admitted she cannot compete with Willoughby when it comes to plunging necklines and displaying her cleavage, so she will not even attempt to.
As such, she will take on the show in her own, more modest style – something that was hinted at when promotional shots of the series showed her in an elegant gold dress.
"Maybe a bit of sparkles but no cleavage. I'm lacking in the Holly 'Willobooby' department! I'll keep it simple. I think I will ease my way in gently on that front," Bleakley told TV Biz.
However, she added that she had taken inspiration from Willoughby's penchant for long dresses – a style she suggested she will aim to mirror when she presents the show.
The first episode of this year's Dancing on Ice airs tomorrow (January 8th), featuring a brand new judging panel including flamboyant dancer Louie Spence and former Olympian Katarina Witt.
