Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe have been announced as the new hosts of Strictly Come Dancing, marking the show's first three-presenter line-up since 2013. Willis expressed her excitement, saying she is a 'huge fan' and 'can't quite comprehend' becoming a presenter. She acknowledged the legacy of Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, calling them 'two wonderful, iconic women'.
The original Strictly pairing of Tess Daly, then 35, and Sir Bruce Forsyth, 76, was considered unlikely. Their contrasting styles—Sir Bruce's traditional broadcasting and Daly's modern flair—created a successful balance.
On The Great British Bake Off, Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig formed an unexpected duo when the show moved to Channel 4. Fielding's goth alternative style complemented Toksvig's grounded wit, providing warmth and quirkiness. After Toksvig left, Alison Hammond joined Fielding, bringing a bubbly personality that contrasted with Fielding's absurdist humour, becoming a core part of the programme.
In 2001, Linda Nolan and Twiggy took over ITV's This Morning, but their partnership was short-lived. Twiggy was axed after a month due to criticism of her wooden style and viewer complaints.
Samantha Fox and Mick Fleetwood hosted the Brit Awards in 1989, but their performance was remembered negatively. They appeared nervous and stumbled through the ceremony amid technical difficulties.
