    Holly Willoughby may not return to Dancing on Ice as she is said to be "struggling" following her dramatic This Morning exit.<\/p>\n

    A source told OK! the star is not likely to return to the small screen anytime soon after stepping back from This Morning after it emerged she was the victim of an alleged kidnap and murder plot. Since she suddenly announced her shock departure back in September, Holly has been taking time out of television and the public eye by keeping a low profile.<\/p>\n

    Two weeks ago at the We Free Women party held at 20 Berkeley Restaurant, her close friend Leigh Francis sparked concern for Holly. He revealed the star "isn't in a good place" two months on after leaving the show.<\/p>\n

    Leigh, aka Keith Lemon, worked with Holly on ITV2 comedy panel show Celebrity Juice before it was canned. He gave his worrying update on how his friend is doing since leaving the daytime show she hosted for 14 years<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \u201cI don\u2019t think she\u2019s in a good place. She\u2019s having a tough time,\u201d he said. He added that he "doesn't know" if Holly will return to host ITV reality show Dancing on Ice in January, which she has previously presented alongside Phillip Schofield since the series first launched in 2006.<\/p>\n

    When asked what the pair talk about, the 50-year-old added: \u201cI just text her. I don\u2019t ask how she is, but I send her some messages to cheer her up.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \u201cI just go, \u2018Hope you\u2019re OK\u2019, and tell her about things I\u2019ve bought. Like, \u2018I\u2019ve just wasted my money on some Spider-Man Crocs, Holly. Do you like them?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    And a source has reinforced Leigh\u2019s remarks and, speaking to OK!, claimed the mum-of-three is \u201cstruggling\u201d and doesn\u2019t plan to return to her TV roots any time soon.<\/p>\n

    "Holly\u2019s taken a huge knock,\u201d the source shared. \u201cShe was the golden girl of ITV, but she\u2019s had a horrible drop. She\u2019s at rock bottom at the minute. She\u2019s really not good, she\u2019s struggling \u2013 she feels people are judging her and she\u2019s scared.\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The former daytime host, 42, shocked the nation in September when she sensationally quit This Morning, and told fans in an emotional statement shared on her Instagram page that it was a \u201cdifficult goodbye\u201d, but that she felt proud to have been part of such an iconic show.<\/p>\n

    She also said she had to make the decision to leave for \u201cme and my family\u201d. A man accused of soliciting to murder and incitement to kidnap Holly has been refused bail.<\/p>\n
