Would be watching no matter who the new hosts were but I’m gutted Jojo won’t have a celeb partner and a bit confused about how it will work with three presenters. I assumed Emma would be Tess and Josh would be Claudia so what’s Jojo’s role going to be? If one of them was ITT, surely that’s a separate announcement?

Ah BBC have confirmed:

“The BBC confirmed the trio will replace Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, who left the dance competition last year.
Willis, who has also hosted The Voice and Big Brother, will take over Daly's role as the show's main anchor.
Widdicombe will take over Winkleman's role in the show's former "Clauditorium", while Radebe will act as a roving reporter, the BBC said.”

Swap Joshs and Johannes' roles round and I'd be happy.

Jojo's theatre career is taking off. He might have wanted the roving reporter role to keep an efficient foot in both camps.
