Strictly Come Dancing to proceed with hosting changes as Winkleman and Daly step back

Claudia Winkleman says Strictly 'deserves' change and admits she 'could not stop crying' as she discusses the show's direction. This year's edition will not feature Winkleman or Tess Daly, marking a hosting transition for the BBC ballroom competition.

The duo had stepped away from hosting last year, and speculation about replacement hosts is rife. Winkleman said she plans to watch the Strictly Come Dancing launch with Daly, underscoring ongoing involvement with the programme despite the hosting changes.
