Emma Willis’s future with beloved Netflix show confirmed amid new Strictly Come Dancing role

by

Now that Emma Willis is set to host the new season of Strictly Come Dancing, it’s been confirmed she’ll also be involved with another popular show.

Emma and her husband Matt have been hosting Love Is Blind UK since it started in 2024. Some viewers were concerned that her commitment to Strictly Come Dancing might prevent her from continuing with the Netflix show.

Good news for fans: Netflix has confirmed that Emma and Matt will remain as the hosts of the show, easing concerns that they might be leaving.

When Strictly Come Dancing returns this fall on BBC One and iPlayer, Emma will be hosting alongside Johannes Radebe and Josh Widdicombe. She’s taking over from Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, who finished their roles at the end of last year.

There were concerns about whether Alex Widdicombe would be able to continue appearing on Channel 4’s The Last Leg, but the channel has confirmed that filming schedules for Strictly Come Dancing won’t conflict, so he’ll remain on the show.

People are already sharing their thoughts on the new hosting team, with Tess Daly describing them as a perfect group, and Shirley Ballas saying she wasn’t expecting so many presenters.

I just met Josh, and he’s really lovely,” she said to The Sun. “And Emma, I worked with her on Cooking with the Stars – she’s a very experienced and wonderful person.

Everyone seems to adore Johannes! It’s a bit unexpected – we were anticipating two people, but we actually have three involved. Apparently, Emma and Josh have incredible chemistry, so it will be interesting to see how things develop.
