Strictly fans have reacted to Holly Willoughby’s rumoured Strictly gig
Strictly Come Dancing fans have spoken out after Holly Willoughby became the latest presenter rumoured to be replacing Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman – and some aren’t happy. Earlier today, former BBC boss Peter Fincham revealed that Holly Willoughby is likely to become the new Strictly presenter.
“My hairdresser also cuts the hair of a well-known channel controller,” said Peter, who was director of the BBC for two years until 2007. “What’s said in Harry’s the hairdresser stays in Harry’s. But he says with great confidence that Holly Willoughby will take over.”
However, while many back Holly as top candidate for the role, other fans have voiced their frustration with the BBC’s reported choice – with many saying that they’ll stop watching Strictly if Holly is confirmed. “I will never watch it again if that’s the case. Seen every series but no more,” one viewer wrote on X.

“Oh no… please say it isn’t so?! Next it’ll be Rylan alongside,” another said. While a third wrote: “I won’t be watching anymore then.”
A fourth asked: “Are you joking?!!” A fifth said that the new will “not go down well with the fans”. Another wrote: “If she is the presenter I will never watch again.”
Not everyone was disappointed with the news though, with some fans saying that choosing Holly would “make sense”. One viewer wrote: “The show needs an overdue freshen up, the charm of Dianne Buswell, Maura Higgins, Rachel Wyse, Rachel Stevens, Holly Willoughby or Angela Scanlon would do wonders….”

Another fan suggested that Holly would make for a great host alongside The Chase’s Bradley Walsh. “Tess and Claudia are a hard act to follow but a Bradley-Holly combo could be just the job,” they said.
“Bradley Walsh would bring some of the Brucie magic. #Strictly’s enduring popularity has been partly down to the show evolving rather than big gear changes.”
Another said: “There’s certainly never been a better time for the BBC to snap up @hollywills. Pairing her with Bradley Walsh is exactly what I had in mind too. Excellent chemistry.”

A fourth wrote: “Zoe Ball would be ok and maybe Holly Willoughby. Also they need a different guest judge each week. The current judges are good but they do have their favourites.”
Holly isn’t the only star rumoured to be taking on the role, with The One Show’s Alex Jones reportedly in talks, alongside Bradley Walsh.
“Alex and Bradley are both the favourites to take over from Tess and Claudia. They have been in the BBC’s sights for some time, as Tess and Claudia’s exit plan has been known for a while,” a source told The Sun.
