Holly Willoughby wants the 'Dancing On Ice' contestants to find love on the show.

The 37-year-old presenter - who has children Harry, nine, Belle, seven, and four-year-old Chester with husband Dan Baldwin - is keen to play matchmaker on the programme, though she doesn't want there to be any scandal of attached celebrities or professional skaters leaving their partners for someone else.
She said: "Over the years I've set up quite a few people.
"I really want there to be a romance on Dancing On Ice this series. Wouldn't it be great? We all like a bit of romance.
"As long as it's two single people, then I'm well up for a bit of setting people up."
But her co-presenter Phillip Schofield is more keen to see sparks fly than cupid's arrow and plans to stir up arguments between the judges and competing couples.
He told reporters: "A good row is great. I'm looking forward to seeing James Jordan, who told me, 'The judges are professionals, I'll respect what they say'. That's going to last a week.
"Me and Holly will step back and let it happen . . . and if it's not happening, I might poke it a little bit."
Meanwhile, judge Christopher Dean has confirmed there won't be a 2019 tour after the TV show comes to an end amid rumours it had been axed due to poor ticket sales in the past.
He said: "There won't be a tour next year.
"We feel it's not the right time. We may have another tour next time, but not this series."
Brian McFadden, Wes Nelson, Jane Danson, Didi Conn, Richard Blackwood and Saara Aalto are among the celebrities taking part on the show this year.
'Dancing On Ice' returns to ITV on January 6.
