Fans of the popular TV show Strictly Come Dancing were surprised this week by the announcement that hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will be leaving the show after the current season. Daly has been part of the show since its start in 2004, while Winkleman joined as a full-time presenter in 2014. Speculation is now rife about who will take over the hosting duties, with names like Zoe Ball, Rylan Clark, Bradley Walsh, Holly Willoughby, Alison Hammond, and Roman Kemp being considered.
Former footballer Alex Scott, with odds of 4/1 according to bookmakers, is also in the running for a hosting role. Scott, known for her successful playing career and subsequent broadcasting work, competed on Strictly Come Dancing in 2019. Despite finishing fifth with partner Neil Jones, Scott has continued to excel in the media industry, presenting various sports programs and earning accolades for her work.
Scott’s potential transition to hosting Strictly Come Dancing comes as reports indicate she may also join the cast of the reality show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Following in the footsteps of her ex-England teammate Jill Scott, Alex Scott is rumored to be part of this year’s lineup, which could also include personalities like Kelly Brook and Aitch. The talented former player’s versatility and growing profile make her a strong contender for these high-profile television roles.
