Who is Emma Willis?

Emma Willis is a super experienced TV presenter and no stranger to Saturday night TV - you may already recognise Emma as host of singing talent shows The Voice UK and The Voice Kids on ITV.
Emma says she's a "huge fan of Strictly and can't quite believe that she'll be "stepping into the Strictly ballroom".
Strictly exec producer, Sarah James, said James said Willis will bring "a wealth of presenting experience and a natural warmth" to the Strictly job.
Emma was born in Birmingham and was a model before she began her TV presenting career on music video channel MTV in 2002.
She is married to musician Matt Willis, from the band Busted, and the pair have also worked together hosting I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! NOW! - the celeb jungle series' ITV2 show.
Who is Josh Widdicombe?

Josh Widdicombe is a podcaster and a comedian, who has appeared on many comedy panel shows and live stand-up shows.
But Josh is no stranger to the glitz and glamour of Strictly! He took part in the 2024 Christmas Special dancing with professional Karen Hauer.
Josh says he is "giddy with excitement" about his chance to "step into the biggest shoes in television".
He has also hosted BBC Radio 5 Live's Fighting Talk, a weekly show all about sports news and had his own BBC sitcom, Josh.
Strictly bosses say during the audition process Josh "had us all in stitches with his unique style of self-deprecating humour and razor-sharp wit".
Who is Johannes Radebe?

The final presenter is a face you might already know quite well if you're a fan of show, as Johannes Radebe is a professional dancer on the world-famous series!
The Strictly pro says that "returning to Strictly Come Dancing in this new role is beyond anything I ever imagined".
Strictly bosses describe him "a one-of-a-kind talent who's been a beloved part of the Strictly family for eight years and will bring all his experience and knowledge to this new role".
Last season, Johannes was partnered with Doctor Who actress Alex Kingston.
Johnanes was born in South Africa and first appeared on the country's own version of Strictly Come Dancing in 2014.
He later joined the touring cast of dance show Burn The Floor, before he joined the British version of Strictly in 2018 as one of the show's pro dancers.
Radebe also starred in the West End musical Kinky Boots.
Talking about his exciting new job he said: "This show has always stood for joy, heart, and togetherness, and I feel deeply honoured to now help carry that magic forward."
"To do it alongside the formidable Emma Willis and the utterly brilliant Josh Widdicombe makes it even more special. I'm ready - sequins, nerves, and all...please bear with me. Love Jojo."

Kate Phillips, the BBC's chief content officer, said: "Emma, Johannes and Josh's chemistry is undeniable.
"There's been so much speculation and hype, so I'm relieved we can share the news with the public at last! I'd like to thank all the brilliant people we saw before making this tough decision.
"...we have chosen three outstanding hosts to take up the mantel."
As always, judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke will all return to our screens when the new series launches in the autumn.
But five of the show's pro dancers will not be returning, so we'll be seeing some new faces too!
