Emma Willis

Josh widdicombe
Johannes Radebe

The two men would join Emma as a kind of 'hosting trio'

I think it doesnt need Josh Widdicombe sorry

Awful choices...Emma nah wont work shes better at documentaries and Josh where on earth has that come from!!! Quite B list. They will loose viewers

mumofoneAloneandwell · 15/05/2026 23:22

I am not a fan of the former two

I like Johannes as a dancer, but in interviews he seems quite stiff? Not sure how he'd be as a host.

Emma Willis has an annoying voice.

NuffSaidSam · 15/05/2026 23:24

I like Josh, but he'd be terrible hosting Strictly. He doesn't have Saturday night glitz.

ItalianChineseIndianMexican · 15/05/2026 23:26

I kind of like them all as individual people doing the jobs they are good at (presenter, comedian, dancer) but as a trio of hosts for Strictly, it doesnt quite fit IMHO.

RaspberryFeet · 15/05/2026 23:29

I really thought they would understand after the success of celebrity traitors, that bigger names were the way to go. I just can’t imagine JW being strong enough to carry it off.

mustbethemummy2 · 15/05/2026 23:29

Emma would be good. Johannes is so warm and lovely but not sure about him as a presenter. And Josh is a baffling choice. He is neither presenter nor dancer.

I heard a rumour it might be Angela Rippon, she and Emma would be good.

I don’t like Emma Willis she is so incredibly dull.

She'll get a good script writer

Normandy144 · 15/05/2026 23:35

Josh did the Christmas special a few years ago and really enjoyed himself. Not such a baffling choice IMO.

Moonmelodies · 15/05/2026 23:36

Amol Rajan surely?

HateThese4Leggedbeasts · 15/05/2026 23:37

I think Emma would be good. I like Josh's podcast but I was surprised he was on the list for Strictly. I don't think of him as a natural presenter or wanting that level of scrutiny that this show brings.

Whataflippincircus · 15/05/2026 23:40

Emma would be a safe pair of hands a bit like Tess. Frankly, Claudia is irreplaceable. It wouldn’t matter who got it, they wouldn’t measure up.

To me, she comes across as incredibly warm and friendly.

Josh Widdecombe though....a bit try hard 😕

Mistyglade · 15/05/2026 23:50

This is the first time I’ve read a showbiz story and thought oh that’s a good idea. The show is desperate for a change up. JW tested brilliantly by all accounts and we need his down-to-earth cheeky humour. EW is solid as main anchor like Tess. Thank god it wasn’t tired old hammy Zoe Ball or inauthentic Alex Jones.

RhannionKPSS · 15/05/2026 23:54

I bet it will be camp man or a drag queen, and I bet loads of people will stop watching

Amol Rajan surely?

Definitely 😁

But srsly - I cannot abide Emma Willis, that's ruined it for me.

AutumnAllTheWay · 15/05/2026 23:56

Can't stand emma Willis

Shes awful

KellsBells7 · 16/05/2026 00:03

I wanted Zoe Ball and Rylan!

bendmeoverbackwards · 16/05/2026 00:20

I want Tom Allen

That would be fab.

NedsAtomicWheelieBin · 16/05/2026 01:51

I thought this was a joke but apparently not! I wanted Emma Willis and Zoe Ball, so I was disappointed to see Zoe was out of the running - but to be replaced by Josh Widdicombe? I can't see it working, he's a very odd choice given some of the names that have been floating about.

Wingedharpy · 16/05/2026 01:56

I don't want Johannes presenting as then we wouldn't get to see him dancing and I love his dancing.

user1471462634 · 16/05/2026 02:09

Rylan downstairs with the judges.
Alison Hammond upstairs with the dancers.
Simples!
