Johannes Radebe says he was ‘petrified’ before major Strictly announcement

New Strictly Come Dancing host Johannes Radebe admitted he was “petrified” ahead of his appointment announcement to the public. Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe, and Johannes Radebe will take over from Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, who left following the 2025 series. In a new video, the trio expressed their excitement but also anticipation as they got ready for the official announcement photoshoot. “ I still can't find words because my tummy is just flipping consistently,” said Willis, whilst  Radebe added: “It's petrifying, but I can't tell you how exciting it is.” Widdicome said he is looking forward to the first episode as “it'll be the only episode where the presenters are more nervous than the dancers”.
