After a year of extensive speculation, the new hosts of the famous Strictly Come Dancing have been introduced: Johannes Radebe, Emma Willis, and Josh Widdecombe. The three recently spoke about the moment they received the news of their selection and the challenges ahead, revealing some of their funny secrets.
The Moment They Heard the News
Johannes Radebe, one of the three new hosts, happily says: "We will never forget that call." Radebe recalls that he was at home on an ordinary afternoon preparing for his performance that night in the musical Kinky Boots. He jokingly tells his colleagues: "Now tell me where you were!"
Emma Willis continues: "We all received a joint message asking us to join a Zoom meeting. None of us knew whether it was good news or bad." Josh Widdecombe also recalls with concern: "I thought, they certainly wouldn't want to tell me face to face that I wasn't selected; they should have informed me through my agent!"
Behind the Scenes Secrets
These new hosts talked about their specific challenges in the show as well as the funny and ridiculous moments that occurred during rehearsals and recordings. Widdecombe refers to a fake show they created to deceive the media, recalling it as an interesting experience.
In this conversation, the three hosts candidly discussed the late-night work and pressures of working on a live show, pointing out interesting aspects about the shiny costumes and the stresses of the nights before performances. They believe that despite all the challenges, this experience is truly an adventure.
With the arrival of these new hosts, it is expected that Strictly Come Dancing will regain a fresh vibrancy and bring even funnier and more engaging moments for viewers.
