Rylan Clark is stepping down as a presenter on Strictly Come Dancing spin-off It Takes Two, the BBC has announced. The TV and Radio star has co-hosted the BBC Two tea-time show since 2019, with a few of those years alongside former Strictly professional dancer Janette Manrara.

Kate Phillips, director of BBC Unscripted, said in a statement on Wednesday (April 12): "On behalf of BBC Two, BBC Daytime, and Strictly fans everywhere, I want to thank Rylan for entertaining audiences so brilliantly for the past four years on Strictly It Takes Two.

Rylan’s infectious personality, his stand-out sass and his genuine love for all the glitz and glamour of the ballroom, has been a big part of It Takes Two’s continued success. "Rylan will always be part of the Strictly family of course, but I know he‘ll be hugely missed by all the Strictly It Takes Two viewers, Janette and everyone else who works on the show."
