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

Sadly it’s not going to be Zoe, she has said this morning that she didn’t get the role.

Oh, I like that combination.

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

I agree.

Based on that and having never watched it in the past………I’ll continue to give it a swerve!

If the Strictly rumours are true regarding Zoe Ball and Emma Willis I will be pleased 👏👏👏👏

Zoe Ball I like and she knows about dancing and presenting; Emma Willis, no; everybody's best friend within two minutes and completely false.

A very good family friend knows Emma Willis, we have never heard a bad word said about her.

If the rumours are true, I'm happy with Zoe and Emma, and extremely grateful that certain others are out of the running.

Alan Carr has already said he’s not interested as he doesn’t love the show that much.

Thank goodness for that. IMO he would ruin it,

I really like Emma Willis, she is very warm and welcoming, so I think she will be good, and Zoe is an old hand on Strictly, I think they are an excellent choice. I’ll miss Claudia though.

All the News outlets are confirming this pair, safe hands.

I see it’s rumoured today that Emma Willis is about to be announced as the new Strictly host with Zoe Ball as co host.

I hope that’s the case. I think they’ll be a good combination. I particularly like Emma as a presenter.

If we’re going to have a Welsh person named Jones my vote goes to Ruth Jones aka Nessa from Gavin and Stacey. 😂

I’ll second that!

Reading this, I’ve come to the conclusion that Holden is past her sell-by date. It’s about time that was recognised and she stops presenting.

.... but really I'd prefer La Voix with her quick humour.

Oh no, not Alesha Dixon, who couldn't give any practical advice and would just tell middle aged male contestants that they were "adorable". Please not her.

Zoe Ball and Oti would be quite good - bearable anyway.

The best way to watch Strictly is to record it and fast forward through the rubbish. Oti, Zoe and Alisha all good ideas for presenters.

I wonder if it’s a done deal at the BBC, maybe all our speculation is pointless.
But I am in full agreement with crossstitchfan, any of the ones she mentioned, would definitely be the end of it for me.

Oh yes, great idea, but she would need to be in character!

The number of programs I don’t watch because of the presenters is growing. The One Show, anything with Amanda Holden, Alan Carr, Claudia, Holly just for starters.

Having looked at the lists on here of people who might front Strictly, I am worried that the programme directors/producers are getting desperate.
Amanda Holden? Please no! She is a totally unwatchable bimbo. She was almost bearable on the house renovation programmes, but Strictly? No chance. She would drive contestants and viewers mad!
Holly Willoughby? Words fail me (almost). She is very like Holden - plastic and pointless.
Alex Jones? No thanks! Her voice would put people off, for sure. As a Welsh person, I love the Welsh accent, North or South, but can not stomach Jones’s, not for a minute!

Why can't they have two sets of marks: one for creativity and one for technical merit? And fewer contestants. Cut out the silly nonsense of pretending that the results actually happens on the Sunday. And have videos of dancers dancing when the crew need to set up, instead of inane chatter.

Just read somewhere that Alex Jones is in the running.

Noooooo!!!

I really think if I had to listen to her awful squawk that I wouldn’t watch it any more.

I think Len would have pickled his walnuts before dressing up like something from a comic.

Well said!!

I just couldn't look at them, it churned my stomach.
