Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman are stepping down as hosts after this current series.

Who will be the right hosts to take over???

Definitely not Amanda Holden or Holly Willboughly. Mel and Sue are a great shout. Rylan would be good too.

How about Alex Jones from the One Show? She has taken part (with James J) and is use to live tv. But she has a young family and not sure she could step away for 3 months of the year at the weekends.

Not Janette manrara

Yep I bet it is.

StrictlySequinsandStiIettos · 23/10/2025 20:15

Rylan and Rob Rinder is an excellent shout.

Yep I bet it is.

She is so wooden, I find her on ITT bad enough, I don’t think she could do it but I’m sure she is desperate for it .

MouldyCandy · 23/10/2025 20:24

Rylan as Claudia.
Not sure yet who might be good in the Tess role.

I saw Stacey Dooley's name mentioned. She's a maybe.
Janette and Fleur are both "no".
Is Oti contracted to ITV/DoI now?
They all have very young children which Tess and Claudia said made it hard.

tennissquare · 23/10/2025 20:43

I’m not sure Rylan would want to give up his Radio 2 show on a Saturday. For me Zoe Ball is the front runner.

Yamyamabroad · 23/10/2025 20:48

Its the BBC so it'll be Clive Myrie and someone else ( possibly his wife). He is EVERYWHERE

That would be my Sat night dream. I adore the man, from afar of course . But not sure its his thing.

Indigovelvet · 23/10/2025 20:59

Clive Myrie the news reader?

rwalker · 23/10/2025 21:11

Angela Raynor

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).

I wondered this also. I wouldn’t mind Oti, Zoe Ball, Flavia or Karen Harding or Rylan but there’s a longer list of people I don’t want, so I’m not looking forward to the new people!

Figgygal · 23/10/2025 21:50

I've watched it for probably 12 years and felt the last 2 and definitely this year that it's a bit played out.

musicalfrog · 23/10/2025 22:10

James and Ola!

Hehe

user1471548941 · 23/10/2025 22:15

I think Rylan would be FAB but agree I don’t think he’d give up R2.

Oti is a fairly obvious pick but not sure she has the presenting clout- I think the BBC would see Zoe Ball as a safer pair of hands and want to give her another “big” job after leaving R2.

I like the idea of promoting Janette to the Claudia role!

user1471530109 · 23/10/2025 22:17

Please don't wish this show it's death. From a selfish point of view, I am hoping my daughter will end up as a pro at some point!

Kevin and Joanne Clifton? As presenters?

But Alan Carr is a great shout!

OMG. I'm going to miss Claudia on this (sorry Tess 😘)

MouldyCandy · 24/10/2025 23:51

I caught Clara Amfo on The One Show, which is live, and thought she was a very natural presenter - more so than JB Gill. Both are former Strictly celebs.
Angela Scanlon for Claudia's role.

Romeiswheretheheartis · 25/10/2025 10:31

Out of all the possible options I think I'm only going to be happy with Zoe Ball (Emma Willis as second choice) so I feel I'm heading for disappointment if any of the others get it. Although I'm not sorry to see the back of one dimensional Tess.

estellacandance · 25/10/2025 12:26

It’ll be 2 drag queens, at least one of colour.

My first thought!

HermioneGrangersHair · 25/10/2025 12:40

I like the sound of Angela Scanlon in the Claudia role and Clara Amfo, absolutely not Rylan or Alison please.

Grin Jane Garvey suggested Amol Rajan in the same vein.

I think Mel or Sue would be a good fit for Claudia’s role.

Please God no!

That’s me not watching.

Dick and Dom.
