Emma Willis, the presenter of The Voice UK, is reportedly set to be announced as one of the new Strictly Come Dancing hosts after Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman stepped down last year. Should she accept, there may be an awkward primetime TV clash this autumn as Emma Willis could end up going head to head with herself on rival networks. Strictly and The Voice both have the same Saturday night slot and have competed against each other in ratings war over the years.
There may be an awkward primetime TV clash this autumn as Emma Willis could end up going head to head with herself on rival networks.
The presenter, 50, is reportedly set to be announced as one of the new Strictly Come Dancing hosts, after Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman stepped down last year. Emma is said to not have yet signed a contract, but is expected to finalize her deal by the end of this month. But BBC producers are reportedly facing a headache because Emma presents The Voice UK.
The 14th series is said to be returning to ITV this autumn, after it was delayed for a second time. Emma and judges Will.i.am, Kelly Rowland, Danny Jones and Tom Jones filmed the first part of the series - the auditions - back in 2024.
This would mean the presenter would be the face on both the BBC and ITV's primetime Saturday night shows. The Voice and Strictly both have the same Saturday night slot and have competed against each other in a ratings war over the years. A source told The Mirror: 'The next series has been ready for ages so there is some time before any decision needs to be made about series 15.
'That is something to be sorted out further down the line. Having the same presenter going up against herself on Saturday night primetime in the autumn is not ideal. But if that is what happens there’s not much can be done about it. If she does join Strictly - and the signs suggest she will - we’ll have to see what happens.
The BBC has gone all out to find new hosts who’ll prove popular. For Emma, the job is hers to refuse - everything else will follow from there
