To think the threesome last night was just a bit awkward?

Strictly come dancing.

Love Emma, very natural and has such a beautiful vibe, but would have loved her with Rylan or somebody.
It was a weird coupling, then odder still when it included Johann (sp)

I thought Emma and Johannes were great. Josh looked out of place and unnecessary

It's like when you start 6th form doing 4 A levels.

One can be dropped.

Raquelos · 27/09/2026 16:28

Josh Widdecombe is always surplus to requirements as far as I'm concerned tbh

Nevernotgoingto · 27/09/2026 16:29

I think it’s the wrong mix and would have been better with just two presenters as before.

Josh looked awkward. When he kept covering up the male celeb’s nipples, I cringed for him. He kept it going way too long

I have no idea what they were thinking when the powers that be decided on this format with an extra presenter and why JW. I just don’t get it.

Not the topic I was expecting with that title.

TFImBackIn · 27/09/2026 16:36

Well this wasn't what I expected!

Xcellently · 27/09/2026 16:36

Zoe Ball and Emma Willis would have been so much better. What on earth were the BBC thinking of?

Dontbesonosy · 27/09/2026 16:39

There always used to be three, though.
Bruce, Tess and Claudia.
Give them chance to settle in.

aperolspritzbasicbitch · 27/09/2026 16:41

Against the grain, I didn’t like Johannes in his role.

Emma is a good fit, and I like Josh in a presenter role.

I’m a big fan of his though, which probably makes it a smoother transition for me

Who is the man in the dress ,no idea where he's from

Yes! He really did 🤣 sure he's a nice guy and feel a bit mean, but....why him? Emma would have worked so well with so many others

I thought it was just Bruce and Tess? Claudia did the spin off - and covered when he was unwell

Yes, the thread title promised so much, but gave so little 🙄

I'm not keen on the Johanne's part 😬 all so ott

I liked Emma, and Josh made me laugh. They are both good. Jojo is lovely but he's a terrible presenter.

MotherTuckinGenius · 27/09/2026 17:08

Hard agree that Rylan would have been better. Dump Josh and get Jo Jo back on the dance floor where he is best.

I agree. I'd much rather Johannes was dancing than presenting. You couldn't hear him at times, and the handovers were awkward. I also wasn't a fan of Emma & Josh together - they each needed space to present.

I'd make Emma the main presenter, move Josh to the Clauditaurium ("Joshpit"), and move Johannes to It Takes 2 to work with Ellie & to get some presenting experience under his belt.

Releasemeplease · 27/09/2026 17:10

Please OP couldn't you have made the title of your thread clearer so that people like myself who have absolutely no interest in the show and get bored to tears with people banging on about it ad nauseum could have avoided looking at it?
Edited to add there is a Telly Addicts Forum you know.

Damnloginpopup · 27/09/2026 17:12

Disappointed.

Simplelobsterhat · 27/09/2026 17:13

I thought Johannes didn't suit presenting at all. I like him but it felt awkward and too gushing. I quite like Josh but didn't think it worked having him with Emma as he was surplus to requirements - he'd be better upstairs as would chat more naturally. Generally I think it was a mistake having one person with much more with live presenting experience than the others (Emma), as it made both the other two look like they were on work experience. Although even Emma seemed to struggle with some of the links so I wondered if there were technical difficulties at times.
