Can Emma Willis save Strictly Come Dancing? BBC bosses will be hoping that the answer to this question is a resounding “yes”, after revealing that the 50-year-old presenter is set to step into Tess Daly’s sparkly heels as one of the three new hosts of the dance competition, alongside comedian Josh Widdicombe and pro dancer Johannes Radebe.
It’s undoubtedly one of the biggest jobs in British television, and some of broadcasting’s most familiar faces were rumoured to be in contention, including The One Show’s Alex Jones, Rylan Clark, and his fellow former It Takes Two host Zoe Ball, who has admitted that she has “worked through seven stages of grief” after failing to secure the gig.
