Strictly Faces 'Radical' Change as Spin-Off Show to Be 'Dumped' and Hosts Replace
Auditions are underway for a new presenter as bosses consider a filmed-podcast format that could replace the current TV show, according to reports.
- The BBC is reportedly preparing to overhaul It Takes Two, adapting the Strictly Come Dancing spin-off into a vodcast format later this year, mirroring the success of The Traitors: Uncloaked.
- This creative renewal follows the departures of longtime Strictly Come Dancing hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly, with bosses taking a keen interest in the franchise they call the "crown jewel."
- While reports suggest current hosts Fleur East and Janette Manrara will exit, a BBC spokesperson stated it was "factually incorrect to claim that either has been axed."
- Auditions for the main Strictly Come Dancing hosting roles are underway this week, with a shortlist of nine potential presenters including Rylan Clark, Zoe Ball, Alison Hammond, and Bradley Walsh.
- Those in contention face a rigorous selection process, reportedly involving full-scale rehearsals before a live band and judging panel, as viewers eagerly await news of the replacements.
