Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radabe.

Might have spelled Jo Jo’s name wrong.

Well, that’s that then,

I started this thread back in May when we found out who the new presenters were.

Have subsequently started a new one ‘Strictly 2026-Remembering Sparklefizz’ and hope (tactfully) that this is the one we use to review Strictly.

It’s just a bit confusing when there are two similar threads, and I feel silly as I have (unknowingly) started both of them….

I had forgotten about Zoe Ball, would have preferred her to Willis, as she presented it before at very short notice and was extremely good.Also dance experience and knowledge.
But BBC seem to be going for presenters etc they think will bring a following, witness all the 'influencers' rather than people who might actually be good at it.

I shall certainly miss Johanas not dancing as he was a glorious dancer & such a beautiful personality too but he will be a great presenter.
I'm glad Claudia & Tess have been replaced though. Lovely Tess was not so bad really, apart from being a bit bland. I have to say that I find it very hard to watch Ms Winkleman.
She annoys me so much, it makes my teeth-itch! I'm not so sure about
Emma, as I find her terribly bland & annoying. I like Josh though as he's
witty & charming & often very
acerbic to help balance Emma's
rather l irritating trait of gushing
& over-enthusiasm! It will be fine, I'm sure, keep moaning!! 🙃

Keep moaning.😉


Hopefully, she'll will grow- on me.
I'm often proved wrong, annoyingly!
Keep moaning..... Oh sorry dancing.

Yes Zoe Ball would have been perfect as a Strictly presenter, what a shame she missed-out!
