Big changes are on the horizon for Strictly Come Dancing! Longtime hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman are stepping down at the end of this series, sparking a frenzy of speculation about who will take their places.
Among the top contenders is former England footballer Alex Scott, whose odds of joining the show are currently at 4/1. Scott, who dazzled us on the Strictly dance floor back in 2019, finished a memorable season in fifth place. With a phenomenal football career under her belt and an impressive switch to broadcasting, she’s become a familiar face on TV, making her a prime candidate for the coveted hosting gig.
However, Scott’s not just been making headlines for her potential new role. She recently made waves in the broadcasting world following a fiery exchange with former BBC presenter Dan Walker. The duo reportedly had a ‘heated’ row over viewing figures for Football Focus, but it seems they’ve since patched things up.
In other exciting news, Scott is also rumoured to be joining the line-up for the next I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Could she follow in the footsteps of her fellow ex-Lioness, Jill Scott, and be crowned Jungle Queen?
Only time will tell if Alex will swap her Football Focus chair for the shiny Strictly spotlight, or be braving the jungle’s challenges. One thing’s for sure, she’s keeping us on our toes both on and off the screen! Keep an eye out for more updates. 📺⚽💃🌟
