Amanda Holden takes swipe at 'boring' new Strictly Come Dancing presenters
- This month Amanda Holden ruled out hosting Strictly Come Dancing, calling many reported frontrunners 'boring, boring', she said.
- Because hosting would clash with Britain's Got Talent, Holden explained she would miss three Saturday nights starting February 21 and cited family and other work commitments.
- Asked about replacements, Holden suggested two funny women like Katherine Ryan and Daisy May Cooper during Jessie Ware’s Table Manners podcast and in a call with Metro, saying 'There are so many women in our industry... who deserve a bloody break'.
- Tess Daly, outgoing Strictly presenter, and Claudia Winkleman, outgoing Strictly presenter, announced their exit last year and hosted their final show on December 20, leaving fans stunned; Amanda Holden and Alan Carr, considered candidates, declined the offer.
- Given Holden's BGT tenure, the BBC casting team faces long-term scheduling challenges as she refuses to join Strictly unless the schedule changes, joking she 'doesn't fancy staying at a hotel in Inverness airport'.
