But, at the same time because I'm such a huge fan of the show, I'm just so excited that I get to be in and see all the exclusives before anyone else."Before the news was announced, Strictly teased the new presenter with a cryptic video but kept her identity hidden, only showing a pair of beige trousers and white boots dancing around.The caption read: "Who’s ready to rumba as the new host of Strictly It Takes Two?

The time has come for me to pass on the baton to someone else and explore what else life has for me."Thank you Strictly, you will always have my heart...and my dancing feet." Claudia Winkleman
