Strictly 2026 : It’s Emma, Josh and JoJo

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

First thread of the year! Let us reconvene here for further discussions

Of the three of them Jo Jo will annoy me the most if there's too much lovie lovie, hand holding tearfulness going on.

I like Josh. I think he’ll be good. And for people commenting on his looks and lack of glam, Bruce Forsyth hardly had those things either. I can just imagine the responses if people weren’t saying a female presenter wasn’t attractive enough.

I don't think that's what people are implying, though. It's more than he's not "fahbulous" or flamboyant, or Mr Saturday Night, or any of the words that could be used for Strictly! Brucie was loud and excitable and an established presenter.
Josh isn't any of those things.

However, I still think he should be given a chance, since bigger names weren't hired, as he was deemed to be so good

Isn't she a footballer's wife?

I haven't seen her in anything either, so what does that say about what shows she presents - shows I'd never watch - so I'll have to be surprised by her. She's as unlikely a model as Sara Cox was though.

@WhenTheDustSettles Maybe? I think so. The father of her first child went to prison

This is in reply to my post about Dani Dyer not Emma Willis?

Yes @WhenTheDustSettles the father of Dani Dyers little boy went to prison for something

she is married to and has twins by someone else

She’s married to the West Ham captain, Jarrod Bowen.

Emma Willis - good choice, really experienced with live and reality TV.
Johannes - will miss him as a dancer. I like him, he seems very nice, but I don’t know how he would work as a presenter.
Josh - only ever seen him on The Last Leg, so on the basis, it’s a no from me.

I would have liked Zoe or Fleur in the mix.

I quite enjoy Josh on the radio, but I just think he would be too laddish and a big contrast with Johannes.

Yes, I think that’s my problem with him.

i guess we’ll see.
