Multiple reports indicate that Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman have stepped down from hosting Strictly Come Dancing after the 2025 series. Winkleman said she and Daly plan to watch the Strictly launch together this year.

Daly recently shared an 'exciting' announcement about her swimwear brand Naia Beach launching a new collection, including a men's line. She posted 'last few' snaps from her Caribbean holiday on Instagram, modeling swimwear from her brand. Her husband Vernon Kay and daughter Phoebe showed support on Instagram.

I'm so busy babes, that I'm not sure it's going to happen. It's unrealistic. I would have loved to have done it – anybody that gets it, they're going to land the perfect job. But I'm so happy with everything I've got. What would I drop, to do Strictly?

Alison Hammond, TV presenter

Alison Hammond, who has been rumored as a potential replacement, initially said she was too busy to host Strictly, but later said she would be 'crazy' to turn it down.

It remains unclear who will replace Daly and Winkleman as hosts, or when an announcement will be made.

Do you think I would turn down Strictly if Strictly came along? Who would turn down Strictly! They'd be absolutely crazy.

Alison Hammond, TV presenter

I was trying to back them off because ultimately everyone keeps putting my name in the mix and they're ruining my chances of even getting on to Strictly, d'you know what I mean? You all need to stop talking about
