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?

Hollys tits look great. I'm just not interested in them.

Who’s going to wear the erect cod piece I wonder??

pigsDOfly · 25/02/2019 20:24

It's not the most flattering dress, but how on earth is it offensive?

I didn't watch the programme so I'm going by a googled image, and maybe it's not a good photo.

Some people find offense in the oddest things.

cheesemongery · 25/02/2019 20:45

Just watching now on catch up - they don't look saggy at all, although I don't think it's well fitted as there's a bit of wonk going on.

It's nothing compared to the one she wore years ago, tons of boobage everywhere!

anniehm · 25/02/2019 20:48

Looks like the wardrobe dept messed up, far from flattering but offensive - no, just feel sorry for her

cheesemongery · 25/02/2019 20:51

think it was this one - I quite like the fact she has one bigger than the other. Me too haha Grin

Holly willoughby is really homely,and has zero style.shes best suited to Pullin tatties

EdWinchester · 25/02/2019 20:57

Meh. It's a pretty horrid dress but who cares about how much flesh is on show?

neveradullmoment99 · 25/02/2019 20:58

Tbh, its a bit much.

like7 · 25/02/2019 21:01

I didn't like it. I felt it was too revealing and not necessary. Difficult not to stare at and she has looked so much better in other outfits. I certainly prefer Tess and Claudia on Strictly,

macblank · 25/02/2019 21:11

Some people are offended by some people breathing... Mind in a couple people that's true! 😜

They certainly have a strange concept of sexual over tones. I was saying to the fiancée last night, I think Holly has lost the ... Holly booby title, and is now just Holly!

michaelT1 · 25/02/2019 21:13

LOL, some people have too much time on their hands! Yes,they were a bit on show but nothing offensive or outrageous and people who are that narrow minded and miserable should get over themselves,get a life and be happy.

JustOneShadeOfGrey · 25/02/2019 21:17

I’ve seen more revealing wedding gowns on Say Yes To The Dress!

JaneJeffer · 25/02/2019 21:25

People can wear what they want but that doesn't mean everyone else has to pretend their outfit is nice.

BakewellGin1 · 25/02/2019 21:30

Is it only me who would love to see what half of the people slating Holly look like Grin

The dress possibly wasn't perfectly fitted however do all these people have clothing made to measure and fitted exactly to their shape before leaving the house ?

Might be only me but I have seen a LOT more cleavage on much worse looking people...

Wonder also if the same people scrutinise the male presenters to check their not wearing trousers too tight !!

Aridane · 25/02/2019 21:40

Ofcom apparently received 139 complaints

Walkaround · 25/02/2019 21:44

If a male presenter appeared in public wearing something that revealing, he'd be slated for being tacky, tasteless and inappropriately dressed. I expect there would also be a lot of comments about the hairiness or otherwise of his chest and whether or not both testicles were visible, or just one was hanging out... Personally, I don't think the dress is inappropriately sexual, I just dislike people wearing outfits they can't move naturally in for fear of everything falling out of said outfit and making you quite literally look like a tit...

DanielRicciardosSmile · 25/02/2019 21:59

All these people saying Holly's boobs are saggy - all I can say is, if they're saggy, my boobs could be used to sweep the bloody floor. Without me bending over.

BertrandRussell · 25/02/2019 22:00

“If a male presenter appeared in public wearing something that revealing”
The point is that a male presenter wouldn’t. Because male presenters are not judged primarily on their sexiness.

I can tuck mine in my socks.

happymum12345 · 25/02/2019 23:12

She looks stunning - as always!

Teagoanngoanngoann · 25/02/2019 23:41

@twitterqueen. Lol Grin no not you..was meaning the origional twitter woman in the op story. Too many twitters lol x

Totaldogsbody · 25/02/2019 23:59

I don't find the dress offensive but I don't find it particularly attractive on her either. Another thing I don't find attractive is jealousy which is what the comment is really all about. Some people just can't bear it when they see someone else look more attractive than them.

Walkaround · 26/02/2019 07:34

Totaldogsbody - not everyone actually thinks it looks attractive to wear clothes you cannot move much in without flopping out of them. It makes her look like a badly wrapped present. It also advertises the idea that women are just there to look at whereas men need clothes they can actually do stuff in. And she has done her breasts no favours - they would look a lot nicer with more support.

Walkaround · 26/02/2019 07:37

Basically, she is an attractive woman wearing a bloody awful, inappropriate dress and I can't help wondering what made her think it was an acceptable outfit. What image was she trying to portray by wearing something so impractical and revealing?
