Strictly fans are calling for one host to be removed from the results show – and it’s not who you’d expect. Although BBC Strictly viewers have been making the same comments about Josh Widdicombe remarks, he’s not actually under the firing line this time.
The 43-year-old joined Emma Willis and Johannes Radebe in a shake-up to replace long-standing hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, who stepped down last year. Now despite a wave of complaints since the opening show, Josh has proved why he’s worthy of a spot in the ballroom. Now over on social media, many fans reckon another host should step down for Sunday night’s results show.

Posting on Reddit, one person began: “Disclaimer: I love Emma Willis. She’s my secret girl crush. But she’s becoming over saturated. She reminds me of Holly Willoughby. The face of every prime show, followed by Alison Hammond.
“Emma is fronting Strictly and The Voice. Two prime time TV shows. I tuned into a show last night. Was celebs cooking, hosted with Emma and Tom Allen. She’s obviously very good at her job. But aren’t their any other presenters?”
The person continued: “I was thinking of the Strictly results show they could even drop Emma? Bruce Forsyth didn’t do the results show. Correct me if I’m wrong. I don’t want to get Emma fatigue.”
Although Bruce quit the Sunday results show in 2010, he did continue the Saturday night competition until stepping down four years later. The TV legend sadly passed away at the age of 89 on August 18, 2017.
Since the Strictly fan shared their opinion, many people rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts too. One said: “Yeah I think so too.” While another added: “She’s the only presenter on the show.”
Others said it “depends on your viewing habits”.
Now after week 5’s live show, many people are warming up to the trio of hosts. Over on X, one said: “John Widdecombe and Emma Willis have fully settled into #strictly now, this is such an enjoyable watch. The funny bits aren’t awkward anymore. Tess who?”
While another added: “I’m so loving Emma, she is just right at home. Perfect.”
Strictly Come Dancing’s results show airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 7:10pm tonight (October 25).
