Alan Carr Rules Himself Out of Strictly Hosting Role

He urges producers to pick a younger superfan of the dance show.

Overview

  • In comments published Saturday, Alan Carr said he does not love Strictly Come Dancing enough to present it.
  • He said he never turned the job down and asked not to be put "in the mix" after being "clumped with everyone."
  • Carr argued the presenting role should go to a younger person who adores the show and dancing.
  • Reports linked him to the vacancy after Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman left in December and after his Celebrity Traitors win boosted his profile.
  • The BBC has not announced new presenters for the series.
