Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman have now officially stepped down from Strictly Come Dancing, bringing an end to one of the show’s most iconic presenting partnerships.
The pair previously announced their departure in an emotional message shared on social media, saying they had “loved working as a duo” and that leaving together “felt like the right time” after 14 years hosting the hit BBC show.
They also thanked the Strictly team behind the scenes, describing the series as an “absolute dream” and praising everyone involved in its long-running success.
With their exit now marking the end of an era, the BBC has confirmed a brand-new presenting line-up for the series.
Emma Willis, Johannes Radebe and Josh Widdicombe will take over hosting duties, becoming the first trio ever to front Strictly Come Dancing.
The unexpected combination sees television presenter Emma Willis join long-time Strictly professional Johannes and comedian Josh Widdicombe as the show moves into a fresh chapter.
BBC bosses say the trio bring a mix of warmth, humour and experience, with producers praising their chemistry and energy as the show prepares to return later this year.
Strictly Come Dancing will continue to be judged by Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Motsi Mabuse and Craig Revel Horwood.
