I thought Anton was being lined up for the role a few years ago but now I’m not sure he’ll want to hang up his judging shoes

olderandnonthewiser · 23/10/2025 11:02

Vernon Kay 😬

yorktown · 23/10/2025 11:05

Rylan and Judge Rinder?

LarryIsMyRomanEmpire · 23/10/2025 11:07

Not Janette manrara

Redshoeblueshoe · 23/10/2025 11:08

No one. Time to end it.

MorningFresh · 23/10/2025 11:08

I'd like to see Ricky Gervais and Diane Morgan. I'd definitely watch it.💃

Annie202 · 23/10/2025 11:25

It’s had a good run. Time to call it a day.

MadeinBelfast · 23/10/2025 12:00

If it has to keep going then 2 women would be good. Not the usual crowd of presenters - I'll go for Sophie Ellis-Bextor and her mum Janet Ellis!

Oh god. Please BBC give us something new

Strictly has been done to death

CatWithThreeLegs · 23/10/2025 12:51

DH & I were talking this morning about this & we both wondered whether they've made their announcement ahead of the BBC announcing they're resting the show for a year (or longer).

sashagabadon · 23/10/2025 12:56

Janette and Fleur east or maybe the one show host Clara Ampho

ForPunnyPlayer · 23/10/2025 18:00

Sam Thompson and Pete wicks

Arregaithel · 23/10/2025 18:01

Bring back Darcey!

I think theres a lot of Prime time telly to fill at the weekend without Strictly. Its hugely successful still and pulls in a lot of ratings.

Two naturally funny/playful characters.

Arregaithel · 23/10/2025 18:40

Sarah James, producer since 2019, also needs to go tbh

Obviously run out of ideas.

ChocoChocoLatte · 23/10/2025 18:41

Alan Carr - lol

Graham Norton would be good

Tomselleckhaskindeyes · 23/10/2025 18:42

alan carr and amanda holden!

Mydahliasareshit · 23/10/2025 18:44

I can't imagine a 'big dog' would want to take over a tired, failing show, attracting z listers.
I'll have a punt on someone with the surname Mabuse.

ScrewyouJonathon · 23/10/2025 18:47

Oh God no anybody but Amanda Holden. I think Rylan would be amazing at it.

Becky028 · 23/10/2025 18:47

I love Strictly in the run up to Christmas!

I know who I really don't want - Vernon Kay (boring), Alison Hammond (great at interviewing celebs solo but not good at presenting), Fleur East (boring), Rylan (too fake and annoying voice), Amanda Holden (annoying as hell).

I'd take Alan Carr, Mel and Sue, Jeanette or Diane.

Think it’s a perfect opportunity now to change the format of the show.

Anton Du Beke and Janette Manrara as main presenters.

Think the results show should go out live on a Saturday night - combined into one show (like dancing on ice was) and then have an ITT episode straight after with Fleur East on BBC 2.

Change up the judging panel - increase to 5 judges -
Motsi, Shirley, Craig, Neil Jones and Karen Hauer

Change ITT from 1 every weekday, to Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday night. Fleur East to present.

Get rid of the judges paddles and have live digital scoring like Dancing on Ice did - not sure why they never incorporated this - DOI were doing this 20 years ago!

Nolongera · 23/10/2025 18:49

Paddy McGuinness.

Iwanttoliveinagardencentre · 23/10/2025 19:38

I am traumatised.
I still haven’t got over Mel & Sue leaving Bake Off.

Claudia is unique and her wit cuts through the saccharine of Strictly.
Without her it will be entirely one dimensional.

MonthlyNameChangeTime · 23/10/2025 19:44

Zoe Ball, plus someone witty in the Claudia role. Graham Norton? He does this well for Eurovision
