For the previous two weeks of the show, Holly opted for more racy outfits, with some viewers branding her looks ‘inappropriate’ for a ‘family show’.
After the opening episode, Dancing On Ice was hit by 341 Ofcom complaints, with the number since getting higher.
Comedian Rufus Hound’s remarks about the free school meals scandal received 346 complaints, as of Wednesday 27 January, while 52 viewers complained to Ofcom over Holly’s dress.

Comments: Some viewers thought the garment’s plunging neckline was inappropriate, as Dancing On Ice is a ‘family show’ as they watched the launch episode three weeks ago
Viewers quickly took to Twitter to express their discomfort surrounding the fashion choice, which retails for £6,240 ($7,000), and Holly went braless underneath.
One viewer addressed the silk tulle dress, which is embroidered in crystals and feathers: ‘Why does Holly wear that type of dress on a family show?’
Another said: ‘Why doesn’t Holly dress appropriately for being at an ice rink? What a totally inappropriate outfit!’
However, other viewers took to social media to praise the presenter for her look, with one saying: ‘Have I picked my jaw up off the floor yet? NOPE. @HollyWills still has the ability to blow my head off!’
