Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern pulled out all the stops for Movie Week on Dancing On Ice on Sunday night, as they transformed in Glinda and Elphaba from Wicked.
Holly, 43, looked sensational in a sparkly pink ballgown with a plunging neckline that showcased a glimpse of her cleavage and huge skirt made of layers of tulle.
The presenter added a dazzling diamond tiara on top of her blonde tresses and carried a star-shaped wand, looking just like Ariana Grande’s Glinda.
While Stephen had judge Ashley Banjo collapsing in laughter after he came out painted entirely in green face paint to become a less than convincing Elphaba, played by Cynthia Erivo in the smash hit film.
For his outfit he wore a dapper black velvet tuxedo with a black shirt underneath a matching sparkly tie, teamed with the signature pointed witch hat, broomstick and cape.
As the duo introduced the show they revealed there would be no skate-off again this week, while poking fun at the backlash the rule change received from fans.

In series past, following a public vote, the two couples with the least number of votes would go head-to-head in the skate-off, with the judges choosing which pair would be sent home.
However, hosts Holly and Stephen confirmed that there would be no skate-off, with the pair with the least votes immediately sent home.
It was a move branded ‘unfair’ with some viewers stating that some couples deserve the chance to prove themselves with another performance.
Posts on X included: ‘I do think the other skating couple should be given an extra week to skate , not really fair on them being voted out so quickly when it was their first week skating;’
‘How can there not be a skate off? What if more people voted last week or this week? Surely that would me potentially someone would unfairly have less votes?’
‘I still don’t get why there’s no Skate off till Week 5.’
And referencing the criticism as they announced the change would be taking place this week too, Stephen said: ‘There will be no skate-off like last week, which went done very well on social media!’
Holly then hit back at the backlash, saying: ‘All I have to say is that’s why you’ve got to vote!’

It comes after Josh Jones and his professional partner Tippy Packard were forced to pull out of the show, just hours before the live show was due to hit screens.
The comedian sustained an injury during rehearsals after twisting his ankle and revealed his devastation to be out of the contest as he spoke to Holly and Stephen.
The news was first shared by Dancing On Ice’s social media accounts, in a statement which read: ‘Josh Jones sustained an injury during rehearsals and has had to withdraw from Dancing On Ice.
‘Josh and Tippy’s partnership will be greatly missed. We will be helping to support Josh and wish him well in his recovery.’
Josh’s exit came after he narrowly survived the first elimination during last week’s live show, with Hollyoaks’ Chelsee Healey becoming the first star to be sent home.
Josh was first revealed to be taking part in Dancing On Ice in October, and admitted on Gaydio that he had ‘no skating experience’ at all.
He said: ‘I did it once for a date years ago and I wasn’t very good. I was holding onto the railings the entire time and we aren’t together now.
‘My dancing isn’t great either, for a gay man I have no rhythm, I struggle to clap along to a beat so this will be fun.’
Dame Sarah Storey also shared her own sweet message for Josh, after she was also forced to withdraw from Dancing On Ice at the training stage due to injury.
She wrote: ‘So so sorry to read this, sending you lots of love @joshyjones92.’
