Overview
- Alison Hammond, in an interview published Monday, said she would be "crazy" to turn down hosting Strictly Come Dancing.
- Earlier this month she told Radio Times the job was unrealistic because her schedule clashed with other shows.
- She later said she played down her interest to reduce constant rumours and insisted she is not too busy.
- The BBC has not announced a replacement, and outlets continue to speculate about candidates such as Bradley Walsh, Zoe Ball and Rylan Clark.
- Tabloid reports have touted Bradley Walsh and claimed a pause in The Chase’s filming, while Graham Norton said he has not been asked and is not interested.
