Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe, Johannes Radebe Named New Strictly Come Dancing Hosts

The BBC has announced that Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe, and Johannes Radebe will serve as the new permanent hosts of Strictly Come Dancing, taking over from Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. This marks the first instance of the show featuring three permanent presenters. Willis, recognized for her work on Big Brother and The Voice UK, described the opportunity as a dream come true. Widdicombe shared his enthusiasm, while Radebe, a professional dancer since 2018, deemed the opportunity unimaginable. Executive producer Sarah James commended their chemistry. The selection followed a thorough audition process that included Zoe Ball. Judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and Anton Du Beke will return, while five professional dancers will not. Of last year's 20 dancers, 15 will return alongside new talent.
