- Fleur East, who presents It Takes Two, has openly admitted her disappointment at not being selected to host the main Strictly Come Dancing series, following the impending departure of Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly in 2025.
- On her radio show, East confessed she had "lied to myself" about being content with not being considered for the "incredible job", despite initially stating she would be happy for whoever got the role.
- While praising Emma Willis, who is widely speculated to have secured the presenting position, East expressed being "bothered" by missing out, having been a contestant and spin-off host within the Strictly family.
- Emma Willis, known for hosting Big Brother and The Voice, is reportedly offered the role, with former "Strictly" professional Johannes Radebe also rumoured to be co-presenting, though official confirmation is pending.
- East's role on It Takes Two is also uncertain, as reports indicate the BBC plans to "refresh" the spin-off show into a vodcast, potentially leading to her and co-host Janette Manrara's departure, despite the BBC denying they have been axed.
