The BBC has reportedly reached a decision on the new presenters of Strictly Come Dancing, following the departure of Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman from the dance competition last year.
According to a report, the decision was expected to be finalised on Friday, April 24, after a week of screen tests. A source told The Sun that the final day of auditions took place on Thursday, with bosses trying out various combinations of hosts before sitting down to make their choice.
The source said the broadcaster wanted the matter resolved this week, though an official announcement may not come for several weeks while contracts are signed. The insider added that those who auditioned are waiting anxiously for the outcome.
Names reported to be in contention include Zoe Ball, Rylan Clark, Alex Jones, Fleur East, Emma Willis, Bradley Walsh and Angela Scanlon. The Mirror said it was unable to independently verify that a decision has been reached.
