Dancing On Ice viewers were left in hysterics after former boxer and show contestent Ricky Hatton punched Stephen Mulhern during Sunday’s premiere.
The new series saw Holly Willoughby back on TV, almost three months after she learned of an alleged plot to kidnap and murder her, with Stephen making his debut as Phillip Schofield’s replacement.
During one segment Ricky was enlisted in holding a microphone, only to be made the butt of the joke as Stephen pulled faces for the camera.
‘Please just hit him’ Holly quipped, and the boxer did just that sending the TV personality flying off his feet.
Shocked by the sheer force, Holly gasped throwing her hands to her mouth as Ricky checked on Stephen who was laying on the floor off camera.
