Zoe Ball and Sara Cox

Ooh that combination would work ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

When Claudia departs her role will be a hard act to replace .
I used to watch Strictly avidly ,but have become a bit bored with it .
I love the dancing -it's the hype and the endless talk of journeys that I find annoying.

As much as I like Claudia, I would love to take a pair of scissors to that fringe.

If you watch Blue Lights the ombudsman last night had similar hair!It looked ridiculous.

I read this morning ( Mail online so coulsd be made up rubbish of course๐Ÿ˜‰) that Holly Willoughby is also a 'firm favourite'. and very much in the running. If they replace Tess with her no-one will really notice the difference- just one vacant blonde being replaced by another, haha- although I don't reckon that Holly is half as dense as she makes out...

How unpleasant, mamaa

I have loved Strictly for many years, but stopped watching it last year as to me it had become stale, and the so called celebrities somewhat thin on the ground. Time to call it a day and not run it into the ground.

Still enjoying it. It's amazing how they improve week on week.

I wonder what it is about these two beautiful articulate young women that makes you so bitter ๐Ÿค”

I love Strictly, not sure why pp are suggesting 'it's had it's day', it has such good viewer numbers there is no way the BBC are going to stop it.

As for new presenters, well no idea really, I quite like Holly, hmmm guess we will have to just wait and see.

I don't mind Holly Willoughby but I do think it would be nice to have a new face
Holly presented This Morning and Dancing on Ice for many years.

Will Rachel Reeves be out of a job soon if her Budget goes down like a lead balloon?

I notice she's growing her hair and fringe - is she hoping to become the new Claudia?

By jove - I think you have got it!!! grin

Allira Tue 04-Nov-25 13:12:52

She'll need some tips from Claudia first though as her hair is the shiniest I've ever seen!

Claudia is head and shoulders above them all ๐Ÿ˜„

knspol Tue 04-Nov-25 13:47:43

Don't really care anymore, used to love the programme but not anymore. Nowadays I record it and then just watch the actual dancing and fast forward through every other part including the judges comments. On the results show I watch the professional dancers, listen to the music act and then watch the dance off. Both shows condensed into around 30 mins total. Might well not even bother next season unless it changes a lot.

Merlotgran. Totally agree,it's awful and getting worse as is Strictly with 3rd rate celebs. I think both of them have jumped as show is going downhill

I like Claudia, and Iโ€™m going to miss our weekly dress critique when they go. For that reason Iโ€™d prefer two women presenters. Iโ€™m very shallow, I know. How about Eddie and Patsy, they would be fun?

Kamj Tue 04-Nov-25 14:36:16

Zoe Ball and Fleur East would be a nice pairing.

Allira Tue 04-Nov-25 14:37:19

Who is Fleur East?

Etoile2701 Tue 04-Nov-25 14:41:32

I have heard that Holly Willoughby will be taking over from one of the current presenters.

Whoever presents Strictly I just wish it would calm down a little.
The hysterical screeching and OTT behaviour is beginning to get on my nerves.

Precisely why I stopped watching a few years ago, just could not stand it!

For the love of God no not Carr and his mate plastic Mandy or davina , Alison. H either .
That would be the absolute kiss of death for any show

Siptree Tue 04-Nov-25 14:44:58

Please not Amanda Holden, Alan Carr or Holly Willoughby. Zoe Ball would be good with Rylan. Aton would be good as a presenter, but the judges might not like having a professional as a presenter.
