Looking forwards

Since I've read on word reference that the word "forwards" exists and is used as it is "forward" I wonder if it's then correct to write "looking forwards"

Thanks

g. "I'm looking forward to my party on Friday") then it has to be "forward". It's a fixed idiom that you can't mess with.
