Holly Willoughby has revealed that she doesn't want to be compared to Strictly Come Dancing presenter Tess Daly.

The Dancing On Ice host believes that the sequin-covered dresses worn by Tess would make her look far too old.

"I'm only 24. I think if I wore outfits like Tess Daly's I'd look as if I was dressing up in my mum's wardrobe!" Holly told the Sunday Mirror.

Willoughby is surprised by the success of Dancing On Ice, but admits that she is loving every second of the challenge.

"It's a big change for me, a big gear shift and it makes Saturdays very busy indeed," she added. "Everybody involved in Dancing On Ice has been surprised at just how big the ratings have been. Even now, on a Sunday when friends say, 'Well done last night,' I have to pinch myself. To be given this opportunity has been just brilliant.

"Obviously, the great thing about our show is that it's on ice. You always have the possibility that someone could fall over and hurt themselves. It's not a good thing but it really does add to the excitement. They're not just going to stumble if something goes wrong. If they go, they will go. And being live that's something that will happen in front of everyone."
