Dancing On Ice pro teases host replacement after Phillip Schofield’s exit

Dancing on Ice: Holly Willoughby Phill enter show on boxes Colin Grafton has hinted he would not mind if Torvill and Dean opted to also present the show. Sporting legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean are regular judges on the panel and the duo give their verdict on the celebrity performances on the ice. Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, American-born star Colin, who is a professional skater on Dancing On Ice, admitted he is not too clued up on all of the British presenters who could takeover Phillip Schofield’s spot. “If I can be completely honest with you, I’m new to the whole UK TV scene,” he explained. “So I did not grow up watching all the British presenters but there’s a few people I think.” “I’m not sure they have announced his replacement. There is a lot of speculation but that’s a tough one for me as I’m not familiar with all the British TV presenters.” READ MORE Alison Hammond addresses distressed reaction to Phillip Schofield scandal Colin Grafton is pro skater on Dancing On Ice When addressing Torvill and Dean potentially presenting the programme Colin said he would still expect the skating legends to share their critiques about the celebrity’s abilities on the ice. The Dancing On Ice star, 31, who was partnered with The Vivienne on the skating show earlier this year, said: “They’re the most talented duo. “One of the most talented duos in British history. They can do almost anything. I don’t think it would be strange at all [them presenting]. I think it would be wonderful. I would still want their advice throughout the programme but they’re incredible.” His comments come after Phillip announced his departure from This Morning back in May and just days later had stepped down from ITV altogether after he admitted that he lied about having an affair with his colleague.
