This Morning star Dr Ranj Singh has teased that former host Holly Willoughby will soon be making her comeback to television.

Holly left the show last month after 14 years in the role of presenter, saying it was a “difficult goodbye” as she sought to prioritise her family.

It’s currently unconfirmed if Holly will return for the 16th series of Dancing on Ice, but Ranj has hinted that it won’t be long before the presenter is seen back on screens.

“Of course she will come back to TV,” he told Closer. “She’s too good not to. I don’t know where or what show, but she’s so good at it, it would be a shame for her to back away completely.”

Holly’s departure came amidst a hectic period for the presenter, with Ranj revealing that he sent her well wishes following her exit.

“I messaged Holly just to check she was okay,” he revealed. “Everything that’s happened with her has been really tough. We all reached out and just wanted to make sure she’s all right. She replied and she’s good.”

“Obviously it’s a really difficult place for her to be in and she made a really difficult decision, but the kind thing to do is to reach out and just check in,” he added.
