Overview
- BBC officials say plans for the 2026 series will be announced in due course and no appointments have been made.
- Janette Manrara, who fronts It Takes Two, said even producers may not yet know who will replace Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.
- Reporting indicates bosses are considering an all‑female duo and a pairing of a traditional presenter with a more unconventional or comedic co‑host.
- New speculation points to Capital FM and This Morning presenter Sian Welby for the Clauditorium role, while names including Zoe Ball, Emma Willis, Alex Jones, Sara Cox, Mel Giedroyc and Rylan continue to be linked.
- Tess Daly returned to BBC screens co‑hosting The One Show with husband Vernon Kay for the first time in nearly 20 years, as Kay publicly backed Alex Jones and Rylan and 2024 winner Chris McCausland joked he and Dianne Buswell would make a good hosting pair.
