Strictly confirm Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe as new hosts

Johannes Radebe, Josh Widdicombe and Emma Willis have been announced by the BBC as the new hosts of Strictly Come Dancing.

Willis, who has also hosted The Voice and Big Brother, will take over Tess Daly’s role as the show’s main host. Widdicombe will take over Claudia Winkleman’s role in the show’s former so-called “Clauditorium”, while Radebe will act as a roving reporter.

Last month, nine potential successors to Winkleman and Daly were put through their paces in a full-scale reconstruction of a live Strictly Come Dancing episode.
