Rylan Clark Neal confirms Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two changes

Rylan Clark Neal has opened up about the changes that will be made to Strictly Come Dancing's spin-off It Takes Two when it returns to TV next month.

The 30-year-old, who was announced as a new host of the hit BBC programme's sister show, spoke about how he would be sharing the show with Zoe Ball.

Zoe is took on hosting the Radio 2 Breakfast Show this year and so won't have as much time to present It Takes Two.

Speaking on This Morning today, Rylan revealed told Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford how it would work.

"So me and Zoe are sort of sharing the duties because she's doing the Breakfast Show now on Radio 2," he explained. "She just wanted to take a bit of a step back - it's a lot work doing early mornings and late nights as well."

He also revealed the schedule, which would include them both doing two weekdays alone and presenting Fridays together.

Rylan revealed: "I might as well just say it - I'm doing Mondays and Tuesdays, Zoe's doing Wednesdays and Thursdays and we're both doing Friday, which is fantastic."

It Takes Two first aired in 2004 and was hosted by Claudia Winkleman until 2010.

She was succeeded by Zoe after Claudia took Sir Bruce Forsyth's place on the main show in 2011.

This year will be the first year that the BBC Two show will be presented by two hosts.

Strictly: It Takes Two airs weekdays and teases fans with interviews and choreography and costume previews ahead of the main show on Saturday on BBC One.

*This Morning airs weekdays at 10.30am on ITV
