Strictly Come Dancing names Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe as hosts
The BBC confirmed Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe will host Strictly Come Dancing, replacing Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman WHO left the show last year. Emma Willis brings extensive presenting experience, Josh Widdicombe adds a comedy and broadcasting background, and Johannes Radebe joins from the show’s professional dancer roster. The new trio will front the BBC’s flagship dance competition for the upcoming series, pairing mainstream presenting with comic energy and insider dance expertise that could shift the programme’s tone.
BBC: Emma Willis, Johannes Radebe and Josh Widdecombe are the new hosts of Strictly Come Dancing.
BBC press release seems to treat them all as equals, rather than have a duo with an additional presenter.
Scott, do we know if this means Johannes won’t be dancing anymore?
I think that Zoe Ball should have been one of them.
Emma Willis I get. A professional dancer is good too. Why 3 and why Widdecombe? Just bizarre. He's the worst of 3 on the last leg and only really done comedy panel shows pretty badly compared to most others.
Does Widdecombe have incriminating photos of someone at the BBC? I don’t get it. But then I think about every time they announce new Bake Off presenters and I think “That won’t work.” And then it does.
