Holly Willoughby quits ITV show
Holly Willoughby has stepped down as co-presenter of the newly revived ITV series You Bet! after just one season.
Her Dancing On Ice co-host, Stephen Mulhern, will return to front the show alone when it airs later this year. ITV has confirmed that the game show—its biggest hit with younger audiences in nearly three years—will continue, despite Holly’s departure. The revival, which debuted with two special episodes in December, was well received, but it seems Holly, 44, has decided to move on.
Dancing on Ice could be axed within days
Meanwhile, Dancing On Ice 2025 has crowned its champion, with Sam Aston taking the trophy after a competitive final against Anton Ferdinand and Michaela Strachan. However, the victory could be bittersweet, as reports suggest the show may be facing the axe.
Insiders claim declining viewership and rising production costs have put Dancing On Ice on shaky ground, with some staff reportedly warned that this season could be its last. The final’s audience numbers will be crucial in determining whether the show returns—but for now, its fate hangs in the balance.
C4 axes best show ever after just one season
Channel 4 has pulled the plug on the hit British horror show Generation Z after just one season. Fans are gutted by the decision, with many having hailed it as a fresh and bold addition to the genre.
The six-episode series, which aired last year, followed a group of elderly residents who turn into flesh-hungry zombies after a chemical leak in the fictional town of Dambury. In a darkly comic twist, they set their sights on the younger generation, making for a sharp satire on Brexit and intergenerational tensions.
Created by gore mastermind Ben Whatley—best known for his work on The Meg franchise—Generation Z boasted a stellar cast, including Robert Lindsay, Anita Dobson, and Johnny Vegas.
