Holly Willoughby Tipped for Strictly Come Dancing Presenter Role
Holly Willoughby will replace Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman on Strictly Come Dancing after their two-decade tenure, starting with the 2026 series, BBC insiders confirmed.
- Reports say Holly Willoughby will take over Strictly Come Dancing from the start of the next series in 2026, according to media insiders and Daily Mail coverage.
- Following a joint statement last month, both long‑time hosts will leave Strictly at the end of the current series after more than two decades associated with the programme.
- Insiders say the move carries `great confidence` from a well-known channel controller, as former BBC director Peter Fincham relayed an anecdote involving Harry's hairdresser.
- Comedian Alan Carr has been linked to one of the two vacant Strictly posts and has reached the final five on The Celebrity Traitors, which sources say signals star quality.
- Earlier this year, Holly Willoughby, former This Morning host, reflected on stepping away from This Morning in October 2023 after 14 years and returning after Gavin Plumb, convicted stalker jailed in July 2024.
