Holly Willougbys boobs on Dancing On Ice Tonight.

There is this women on Twitter going on about how it’s not ok for “family viewing” before the watershed?

How the hell is a bit of cleavage offensive to children?

Am I being dim here? I can’t see anything offensive about it at all?

It’s hardly offensive, just not a very nice dress and unflattering.

MakeItAmazing · 24/02/2019 19:56

There was a black something on the dress part covering her left breast. Was it a microphone piece ?

Some of her dresses are too sexy for this show imo but while there's nothing offensive about breasts it would be silly to try and pretend that they haven't been sexualised.

PooleySpooley · 24/02/2019 19:57

I just wonder what Twitter lady does whey out and about with her children?

Deploys the use of paper bags?

I find Tess Daly’s gowns so bloody boring tbh.

Holly looked fine but as a presenter she is the most annoying woman on the planet.

ILoveMaxiBondi · 24/02/2019 20:15

derxa do you know there is another poster posting as “Dexra”? I mistakenly read it as derxa the first few times and thought I was engaging with you but then realised it isn’t. Just thought you’d want to know incase it’s been causing confusion on the forum.

youngestisapsycho · 24/02/2019 20:43

Maybe she should borrow Kim Ks dress next week 😂

LittlePaintBox · 24/02/2019 20:45

Not offensive, but it really isn't the most flattering I've seen her wearing.

DanielRicciardosSmile · 24/02/2019 20:47

Good grief. Its hardly split-crotch knickers and a pair of nipple tassels is it? Looks like an average sort of evening dress to me.

LuckyLou7 · 24/02/2019 20:52

She's got a gorgeous figure and that is a lovely evening dress. If I looked a quarter as good as she does, after three children, I'd be delighted.

eurochick · 24/02/2019 20:56

It's like a cheap version of the legendary Liz Hurley safety pin dress. Not very nice, but not offensive.

MQv2 · 24/02/2019 20:57

Boobs 👍

MirandaGoshawk · 24/02/2019 20:59

Not offensive, but it does look as if it's falling down/off, so I would prefer something with a bit more coverage. As for Kim K's "dress" - classy. Hmm

I never like Tess Daly's dresses. But Claudia Winkelman has a nice style and I've never seen her with her boobs out.

GregoryPeckingDuck · 24/02/2019 21:00

How? It’s not the best dress for her or in general but there’s nothing unusual about it.

Springwalk · 24/02/2019 21:00

It’s not offensive. I have seen her in better dresses but she always looks lovely whatever she wears

kateandme · 24/02/2019 21:00

can we not turn this into a holly bashing.pages of people saying its not flattering on her or she doesn't look good is not a pleasant way to use time.

ilikemethewayiam · 24/02/2019 21:02

She’s not called Holly willabooby for nothing!

Niffler25 · 24/02/2019 21:05

I don't think it's offensive at all. Her cleavage looks pretty tame in it in my opinion. It's just a dress, nothing particularly special and definitely not offensive! She looks nice.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 24/02/2019 21:19

I think she looks lovely. And it's much nicer and less revealing than Liz Hurley's Versace.

Yabbers · 24/02/2019 21:22

Lovely dress. I wish I could wear it, and if I could I would.

Yabbers · 24/02/2019 21:22

People who complain, I wonder if someone was wearing similar at a family party or something, they would drag their children out?

derxa · 24/02/2019 21:25

ILove I noticed that poster but as long as they're not saying anything hideous there's nothing I can do. Thanks for your message.

youarenotkiddingme · 24/02/2019 21:27

I loved her dress. I watched it whilst running on treadmill at gym.

Have to confess I was a little taken aback how much they jiggled.

Until I realised it was my running not her boobs BlushGrin

NotACleverName · 24/02/2019 21:28

Of course it’s offensive. Don’t you all know that children will turn to stone if they catch so much as the slightest glimpse of a tit (breastfeeding being the exception, of course).

Cla9 · 24/02/2019 21:30

Definitely not offensive!
The dress is nice. I don’t like that style of shoe - her toes look squished at the side.
