Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe, and Johannes Radebe have officially been announced by the BBC as the new hosts of Strictly Come Dancing.

The broadcaster has confirmed that the trio will be taking over from Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly, who stepped down last year.

Willis, 50, who has fronted a number of TV shows such as The Voice and Big Brother, will take over Daly's role as the show's main anchor, while Widdicombe, 43, will step into Winkleman's shoes in the 'Clauditorium,' chatting to the contestant in between dances.

Finally, Radebe, 39, who has been a professional dancer on the beloved BBC programme since 2018, will be switching his ballroom shoes for a microphone as he will become a 'roving reporter'.

Tess, 57, and Claudia, 54, had become synonymous with the BBC show, having fronted it on our screens for over a decade as a duo, so the new trio have big boots to fill.

They officially signed off in December 2025, having announced they were leaving two months earlier.
