Meet the hosts of Strictly: It Takes Two
With Zoe Ball no longer hosting Strictly: It Takes Two, here's everything you need to know about the new stars fronting the Strictly Come Dancing spin-off.
With Strictly Come Dancing 2021 now in full swing, it's time for the return of Strictly: It Takes Two – the BBC One competition's daily companion show.
Airing on weekday evenings, Strictly: It Takes Two gives fans of the long-running dance series a bit of extra Glitterball content in the run-up to the Saturday shows, with all of the Strictly Come Dancing line-up stopping by to talk about their upcoming performances, former judges giving their expert advice and current professionals competing in the latest dance challenges.
While Zoe Ball has hosted the spin-off series since 2011, she announced earlier this year that she would be leaving the post after a decade – but who has replaced her? And is Rylan still presenting the show?
Read on for everything you need to know about the presenters of Strictly: It Takes Two.
