Daly and Winkleman to exit Strictly at the end of series

Strictly Come Dancing hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly have announced they will leave the show after the current series - and the bookies are already sharing predictions about the most likely contenders to replace them.

Daly has hosted the show for 21 years, while Winkleman joined as co-presenter on the main show in 2014, having previously hosted the Sunday night results show.

“We have loved working as a duo and hosting Strictly has been an absolute dream,” the pair said in a statement. “We were always going to leave together and now feels like the right time.

“We will have the greatest rest of this amazing series and we just want to say an enormous thank you to the BBC and to every single person who works on the show. They’re the most brilliant team and we’ll miss them every day.”

Here are all of the broadcasting stars bookmakers think could replace the duo on the BBC dance competition for the next series.
