Comedian Josh Widdicombe is widely tipped to become one of the new presenters for the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, following the departures of long-standing hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly.
Widdicombe recently described his 2024 appearance on the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special as the “worst day” of his career, despite receiving a score of 10 from judge Anton Du Beke.
He participated in the Christmas special, partnered with professional dancer Karen Hauer, at the request of his daughter, and humorously referred to himself as the “s*** middle-aged bloke” on the show.
Reports suggest that Widdicombe could be joined by former Big Brother presenter Emma Willis and Strictly professional dancer Johannes Radebe as new hosts.
Several other celebrities, including Zoe Ball, Rylan Clark, Fleur East, and Angela Scanlon, have either ruled themselves out or seemingly missed out on the coveted presenting roles.
