Last year, the nation was shocked to learn that the presenting duo were hanging up their sparkles and would be leaving the show, with the 2025 series marking the last time they'd appear on Strictly.
"We were always going to leave together and now feels like the right time."
Now, in an interview with The Sunday Times, the former It Takes Two host said of taking over the helm: "Obviously, there's a part of me that would love to do it. But I will still be watching, whoever hosts."
“At the moment I am in mourning for Tess and Claud because I love those girls. I think everyone’s name is being thrown into the mix.
"I love that show. I loved performing on it with Ian Waite, who is one of my best buddies. It's so joyful, and it's live telly, which is another thing that people don't give the girls enough credit for. That show is a beast. Whoever gets to do it has a tough act to follow."
Kate Phillips, the Chief Content Officer at the BBC, previously appeared on The Rest Is Entertainment podcast and said that casting the new presenters wouldn't be taking place until the new year.
"We've got time so I don't think we'll really be looking at it until the New Year because we want to make sure we deliver a great Strictly series. Having said that, yes – my inbox has been inundated.
"I can't say names obviously but it is one of the best gigs in television so we have had so many people who are keen to be considered which is great. We'll think carefully about next steps on it but yes, there's no room where we all go."
