Strictly after Claudia ...........

How unpleasant, mamaa

I read this morning ( Mail online so coulsd be made up rubbish of course😉) 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...

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.

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.

Ooh that combination would work 👍🏻

I think the whole thing needs a complete reset. It's become stale.

I agree.

I too find the chats with Claudia a waste of time, but a friend pointed out that the crew need time to change the staging around for the next dance, which can be quite a challenge.

I suppose that is why we have all the inane chatter.

I think the whole thing needs a complete reset. It's become stale.

I agree the programme is too over the top and noisy. I record it and just watch the dancing and scores. The bit with Claudia waiting for scores is so loud and pointless. I also have never heard of the supposed celebrities.

I like Alan Carr but I am not sure he is right for Strictly. Definitely not Amanda Holden, she makes everything about herself. Anton would be a good presenter. I love Rylan but know many don't. I also love Susan Calman, she is so warm, friendly and down to earth (and a former contestant)

To be honest I am finding this series really boring. The only celebrity left that I know is Alex Kingston and it's hard to get interested in the "journeys" of so many total strangers. Claudia is fine, but I'm finding Tess increasingly irritating. New presenters might help, but who?

I would like to see both male & female presenters again , Hannah Waddingham for example- not sure about the male - hopefully not Rylan Clarke .
Also the results show , needs a shake up , I feel that when the celebrity singer is performing they don’t need the dancers , they just detract from the song being sung .
Just my opinion - any thoughts

I’m available……🤣

I am with Sara1954.I feel this may well be the last season of Strictly I tune into.We normally go to the tour but just not bothered this year🤷‍♀️

Most of the names which have been suggested to take over from Tess and Claudia would be enough to stop me watching!

I’ve never been fond of Alan Carr but I must say I’ve really warmed to him in Traitors. Not enough to see him on Strictly. Especially if Amanda Holden pairs up with him.

I’d like to see Oti Mabusi as a presenter with Zoe Ball or maybe Emma Willis.

I’m afraid I really think it’s time to call it a day for Strictly. It’s been very successful but it’s had its day.

Sara1954 and merlotgran I totally agree with both your sentiments - I spend half my time turning down volume control. I’ve always loved it but this year I’m feeling quite bored with all the shouty talking!

I think this may very well be my last season of Strictly, I have loved it, and looked forward to it for years, but I’m just not feeling the magic, and the last couple of years, I somehow don’t trust it to be that wonderful, wholesome entertainment I always believed it to be .
I might get tempted back I suppose, but absolutely 100% not, if Amanda Holden is joining the team.

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.

Oh me too.

And the judges dressing up too. 🤯
Not necessary. Have some decorum, please, you're not children or even contestants.

Not Amanda Holden. I do wonder if Le Voix is in the running.

Le Voix would be great. I would like to see Maranda Hart as the second presenter. Those two would be be "such fun"

Zoe ball and alesha Dixon are serious contenders i read
