May 10May 10 Author Emma Willis expected to be announced as the new host (alongside the unknown second), and I’m so here for it
May 11May 11 https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/39077669/zoe-ball-fails-land-strictly-job-rejection/Zoe has confirmed she has NOT got the job!Also out are Rylan, Angela Scanlon, Alex Jones, Miranda Hart, and Fleur East.
May 12May 12 Think I said before… I like Emma Willis but she just feels overly used in the reality tv world

Her stock massively went through the roof with the way she handled the interview with Roxanne Pallett and refusing to allow her crocodile tears to cover up the terrible thing(s) she did and said. I am however GUTTED reading Zoe didn't get the second part, I thought that was a wonderful pairing. I loved Zoe as a contestant and with her work with Strictly since. I am NOT rooting for Rylan, nothing against him, truly. I just think this isn't the right show for him and his persona and his energy.
May 12May 12 Oh i agree; she is a great presenter and I think would be a safe pair of hands for the show.Yeah hopefully not Rylan - he's come across as a complete knobhead the last year spouting Reform-esque views on Immigration - so he can do one
May 12May 12 Author I get the feeling it could be Josh Widdicombe given his name just randomly appeared out of nowhere over the last few days would be an interesting pairing! Apparently Rylan’s been ruled out too!
May 13May 13 Thank GOD Rylan was ruled out, we don’t need him on our screens after his racist outburst, why he still gets given the time of day I do not know. Would be here for Emma/Angela!
Saturday at 11:545 days I think this will go down like a lead balloon. Emma Willis is dull as anything, they could have had basically any presenter in the UK and they choose her to be on yet another show? I mean she’s a safe choice and I do think that works for a show like this, fine, but I really can’t see how her and Josh Widdicombe work as a pairing.

The Voice is just there at this point, and they've got her as a safe pair of hands allowing them to be a bit experimental with the other roles.I wouldn't have guessed Josh Widdicombe in a million years though. I like him, but having him on Strictly feels such a random choice; I know he did the Xmas special the other year but still. Edited Saturday at 16:295 days by Hassaan
Monday at 16:583 days So apparently the next The Voice UK series will air later this year so imagine Emma being on BBC One and ITV at the exact same time!
Tuesday at 14:162 days Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe have now officially been confirmed as the new hosts by the BBC.Emma essentially the new Tess, Josh the new Claudia and Johannes in a 'roving reporter' role
Tuesday at 14:462 days Josh must have REALLY impressed when he auditioned, huh? So...random.Can't wait to see Emma and JoJo, although I'll miss him dearly on the dancefloor.
Tuesday at 15:182 days Author Johannes being on the presenting lineup is so random and feels unnecessary. But happy for him I guess lmao xSo excited for Emma I do think Josh will be quite good in the role of Claudia too. I enjoy him as a comedian and no matter who it was people would always complain that it's not someone as iconic as her.
Tuesday at 19:232 days Having watched Josh on The Last Leg over the last 12 years (plus all the other panel shows he's done) I never would have seen him doing Strictly. I'm guessing Johannes' role is more of a social media thing?
