Holly Willoughby, 40, returns to screens this weekend as the host of Dancing on Ice. While promoting the new series, the This Morning star opened up on Loose Women about her husband Dan Baldwin, 47, and how they began dating.

Holly admitted their romance came as a “surprise” to her, as well as speaking about how it was quite “intense” to start with.

The presenter was quizzed about her marriage by panellists Charlene White, Linda Robson, Carol McGiffin and Nadia Sawalha.

This was after she was opening up on the process of writing her new book, Reflections.

She said: “We met on Saturday mornings and we became really ridiculously close friends.

“It was this intensity of friendship for about 10-15 weeks.

“And I remember cheersing him with a glass and I was looking at him and like ‘Oh my God, I fancy him, I fancy my friend!’ (sic)

“It took me so by surprise and I thought, ‘Oh God, what’s just happened?’

“And the relationship carried on. And I think in hindsight, I was falling in love with him.

“I think that’s what that intensity was, but I didn’t necessarily recognise it.”

Holly was then asked by Carol if Dan was still her best friend.

She explained: “Yeah, definitely. He knows me better than anyone.

“He’s my absolute support. He gives the best advice of anybody.

“He’s got that strength and good moral fibre, so I always check and run everything past him.”

Holly then agreed with Charlene how the only way success feels possible is thanks to him having her back.

Holly and Dan married back in 2007 at Amberley Castle.

The couple share three children together, Harry, 12, Belle, 10, and Chester, seven.

Holly will be appearing alongside Phillip Schofield on Dancing on Ice this weekend.

Yesterday, she posed in a gorgeous punk ruffled gown to mark the return of the reality show.

She penned: “4 more sleeps until @dancingonice is back…

“Sequin’s and ruffles will be hurt in the process…

“Dress by @marchesafashion Jewelry by @susannahlovisjewellers.”

The presenter’s followers were excited to see her back looking glamorous as they commented below.

Tamzin Outhwaite wrote: “Wow! Beautiful.”

Elizabeth Day also commented, replying: “Stunning.”

Vanessa Feltz added: “You look like an ethereal princess! Exquisite xx.”
