Former BBC controller claims to have insider information on Tess Daly’s replacement

News has come out that Holly Willoughby is being considered as the replacement for Tess Daly on Strictly Come Dancing. Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman have announced their departure from the show, leaving fans wondering who will take over. Former BBC One Controller Peter Fincham reportedly heard from a high-ranking TV producer at the hairdresser’s that Willoughby could be the new face of the show.

Willoughby left This Morning after 14 years in 2023, but returned to ITV to host Dancing on Ice and Netflix’s Celebrity Bear Hunt. Winkleman and Daly shared on Instagram that they have loved working together and that now feels like the right time to leave the show.

Other potential replacements include Janette Manrara, Fleur East, Rylan Clark, Stacey Dooley, and Roman Kemp. La Voix, a contestant in the 2025 series, has also expressed interest in the role after filling in for Daly during Halloween Week.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the announcement of who will join the Strictly Come Dancing family as the new host. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting development in the world of entertainment.
