Zoe Ball has confirmed she will not be one of the new presenters of Strictly Come Dancing, following an extensive audition process.

The BBC is expected to announce who will replace Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman on the dance competition in the coming weeks, following the pair's departure last year.

Discussing the Strictly role on the new episode of her Dig It podcast, Ball said: "I didn't get it, but it's OK."

She told her co-host Jo Whiley: "I have worked through the seven stages of grief and rejection over the last couple of days."

Ball is the first presenter who had been linked with the role to publicly confirm she had taken part in the recent screen tests held by the BBC and is now out of the running.
