Dancing On Ice put on a steamy show on Sunday night as they welcomed the cast of Magic Mike Live to appear on the show.
Presenter Holly Willoughby turned bright red as she watched the muscular dancers gyrate and thrust to the music.
The six handsome young men soon took off their t-shirts to show off their impressively sculpted six-pack abs.
A blushing Holly managed to catch a T-shirt in mid-air and use it to cover her face as the dancers moved seductively around the stage.
However, some viewers at home weren't as impressed with the performance, saying it was “inappropriate” for a family show and to “think about the children.”

One person tweeted: “Strange choice of entertainment for a family show”, while another repeated: “@itv really has a magic mic on @dancingonice??? 'Shocking'.
A third wrote: “Time and a place. “Definitely not early Sunday night TV,” while a fourth added: “What on earth happened to Sunday night TV? “Where are praise songs?”
Another fumed: “Do we really need to see male strippers on #DancingOnIce?” Inappropriate,” with a sixth saying: “Think of the children. Their poor eyes.”
A seventh wrote: “I'm going to sound pretty prudish but is a 'Magic Mike' appearance the right kind of mid-show entertainment for #DancingOnIce?” Mary Whitehouse is spinning in her grave.
And one in eight joked: “I mean the cast of #MagicMike made my Sunday night.” I'm not sure the kids were impressed by the half-naked men gyrating during #DancingOnIce.
However, many others praised Magic Mike's appearance as the “best part” of the show and mocked those who called it offensive.
One person quipped: “I find Rod Stewart more offensive than Magic Mike TBH,” while a second person gushed: “Thanks Magic Mike 10 10 10 10.”
A third wrote: “Well this bit of Magic Mike Live made my Sunday night better *checks for tickets to the show*”

However, some viewers at home weren't as impressed with the performance, saying it was “inappropriate” for a family show and to “think about the children.”
While another joked: “I'd like to complain about that unnecessary Magic Mike routine.” It wasn't long enough.
A fifth person chimed in: “Well that was by far the best part of #DancingOnIce tonight.”
And a sixth explained: “Can I just say, I'm a straight, white, carnivorous, diesel-driving, bearded male over 50 years old and I'm really looking forward to seeing the Magic Mike boys at work.” “Not offended, not outraged.”
Sunday's show also saw Eddie the Eagle become the latest star to be eliminated from the skating competition.
The English ski jumper and Olympian, 60, and his professional skating partner Vicky Ogden faced Love Island star Amber Davies and her professional partner Simon Proulx-Senecal in the skate-off.
After Eddie and Vicky performed a graceful performance to Sir Elton John's 'Rocket Man' and Amber and her partner Simon danced a dramatic performance to Little Mix's 'Power', the judges cast their votes.
Judge Oti Mabuse voted to keep Eddie, while guest judges Johnny Weir and Jayne Torvill voted for Amber.
Since the vote was split, it came down to presiding judge Christopher Dean, who opted to also keep Amber and eliminate Eddie.

While Adele Roberts and her partner Mark Hanretty achieved the show's highest score yet with 39 out of 40 for their elegant number to 'You're My World' by Jane McDonald
Sunday's show saw contestants step up their game in the hope of making it to the semi-finals next week, with a number of artists taking the top scoring title throughout the evening, with Adele Roberts emerging victorious at the end.
The 44-year-old radio DJ and her partner Mark Hanretty outperformed their fellow contestants in the eleventh hour, securing the show's highest score yet with 39 out of 40 for their elegant number to Jane McDonald's You're My World.
Adele became emotional after receiving the score as Mark praised her as an “incredible” woman.
Judge Christopher said the show had “everything I want to see in a performance,” including “passion and connection” between the pair.
While guest judge Johnny said the performance had a “beguiling quality”, he praised Adele as the “strongest skater in this competition” in terms of her basic skills.
