New Strictly Come Dancing host Josh Widdicombe accidentally slipped up when asked to name a style of dance, following the BBC’s announcement that he is joining the new presenting lineup.
The comedian joined his new co-presenters Emma Willis and Johannes Radebe on BBC Radio 2 on Saturday (23 May), when the former Big Brother host asked them a series of quick-fire dance questions – including what their favourite ballroom style is.
“Is Argentine tango a ballroom?” Widdicombe asked, before Radebe corrected him, laughing.
Of Widdicombe’s new job, Isobel Lewis writes that his particular brand of awkward comedy could be perfect for a series in need of a bold revamp.
