I will watch it.

Love Emma, she is a great presenter and stunningly beautiful. JoJo is simply fabulous. Not keen on Josh but I will give him the benefit of the doubt. Rylan would have been my choice with Emma.

No. The presenters don't need that. Tess and Claudia didn't.

I just assumed it would be Rylan and was even prepared to go back to watching Strictly after avoiding it for years. I do like Josh and Emma and can only presume Johannes was appointed to meet diversity targets.

Really? Not his vast dance experience then.

Harry Hill would have been an amazing choice! The whole programme would become totally surreal

I like Emma but not Josh. What will the third one be doing? I like Zoe Ball. Rylan Clark and Harry Hill. That would have been my choice.

Johannes was the best dancer,will really miss him competing.

I’ve always liked Emma as a presenter and think she’ll fit in well. I love Johannes . I recognise Josh and vaguely remember he partnered Karen on a Christmas special.

I usually watch Strictly with my teenage granddaughter. I’ve just received an excited text message and she is delighted about Josh. She thinks he’ll be great.

Sounds good, I hope it runs smoothly.

I think Emma will be fine, it’s a role she’s used to, presenting. The other two I reserve judgement on. I think Rylan would have been good. I’m glad it’s not Zoe Ball personally.

I don’t think any of them will last as long as Tess and Claudia.

I really like Rylan, BUT, I think he’d have driven me nuts in this shows format.

Like all three, though curious about the dynamics and how they’ll pan out. I’ll really miss JoJo dancing, I adore him!

I’ve seen him twice in theatre, on in Kinky Boots, once in his own show, both were just fabulous.

I really enjoyed watching Johannes dance and the way he supported and encouraged his partners was lovely.

He will definitely be missed on the dance floor.

Yes, it's all 3.

Could be interesting although I'm personally not a fan of Johannes, he has a rather overpowering ego which was obvious when he did Celebrity Masterchef.

I've seen a lot of comments about what Emma and Josh know about dancing, but you could have said the same for Tess and Claudia.

Looking forward to how it pans out and how they bed themselves in.

Emma is taking on Tess Daly’s front of show roll

Josh is taking on Claudia’s roll interviewing the couples after their dance.

JoJo is going to be a roving reporter

As far as I know it was just announced in a clip on the BBC fb page “as meet your new presenters”.

TillyTrotter Tue 19-May-26 16:31:42

Three? Or is one going to do “It Takes Two”? do you know?

I’ll miss seeing Johannes on the dance floor. Not keen on Josh Widdicombe at all. That seems a strange option. I quite like Emma but still sad that Zoe got overlooked.

Time will tell how it pans out.

Calendargirl Tue 19-May-26 16:16:57

Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radabe.

Might have spelled Jo Jo’s name wrong.

Well, that’s that then,
