Readers of less certain stomach are encouraged to stare at presenter Holly Willoughby’s chest.

Many have fallen. And now grim news that the father of Willoughby’s co-presenter Phillip Schofield, is ill.

Says an insiders of Schofield’s “secretly dashed” moments: “One minute he’d be giving a flawless performance on Dancing On Ice and 40 minutes later he’d be climbing into a put-up bed by his dad’s side.”

Sun readers learn that this is “an inspiration”.

We are unsure who we should feel inspired other than to wish Mr Schofield, and his father Brian, the best of luck and hope that none of the dancers suffers too greatly…

Update: It was the saddest moment of TV this weekend..as Steve Backley was booted off Dancing With Ice, his four-year-old daughter Ellese burst into tears before millions of viewers.”

With right counselling and therapy, Ellese might pull through the trauma. These are worrying time for celebrities. Kill them off by all means. But is there any need to go after their families too?
