But some viewers were left distracted and accused co-host Dermot, 51, of "switching off" during the chat.

The presenter was seen stretching and sighing at various points throughout the interview, with some claiming he looked completely disinterested.

One wrote: "The big sigh and stretching had me," with a laughing emoji.

A second said: "The stretch, the 'yeah lovely and just have a nice time'. haha I can't cope."

A third commented: "The sighing and stretching was crazy work."

"Don't blame him, I switched off too, what nonsense are they even talking about. Bore," a fourth posted.

This viewer cheekily said: "Dermot acting the way we're all thinking. She'd cure my insomnia in five minutes."

Someone else posted: "This is perfect, he's obviously met her before. 'yeah lovely'."

Another added: "I’ve been SAYING THIS, he looks absolutely miserable in this job every time I tune in."

Ferne also told how she was approached by bosses last year for the show, but turned it down.

Discussing why she agreed to do the show this year, Ferne said: "It was the perfect time with finishing my reality show at the end of the year last year and just to go onto such a fantastic production.

"It's such a fantastic show, it's magical."

She went on to say: "I genuinely can't believe it, the progression is crazy.

"I started off now being able to ice skate whatsoever and feeling really frustrated because I was like 'how am I ever going to get this?'

"I really just had to surrender and trust the process."

It comes after Ferne fought back tears as daughter Sunday watched her make her Dancing on Ice debut.

Last night saw the return of the ITV skating show, with a whole new batch of celebrities ready to take to the ice.

Former Towie star Ferne, 34, was the second star of the night to perform.

She skated with her pro partner Brendyn to Lily Allen's song, Somewhere Only We Know.

Ferne made it through without any trips or stumbles and the panel praised her debut, scoring her a respectable 26.5.
