Johannes Radebe is reportedly emotional and excited ahead of making his presenting debut on Strictly Come Dancing in 2026. He will host the BBC programme alongside Emma Willis and Josh Widdicombe, replacing Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. The new presenters are rehearsing an opening dance routine, while the professional cast has also changed substantially. The judging panel remains intact, and the celebrity-professional pairings are expected to be announced when the launch show airs in September.

Vicky Pattison said she felt vulnerable and unsupported when she began her reality-TV career on MTV's Geordie Shore, claiming that producers' influence led her to lose her identity and become a caricature of herself. Speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, she called for contributors to have independent welfare support and criticised practices such as removing clocks and restricting contact with family. She said she would be terrified if her children wanted to enter reality television, underscoring her view that stronger duty-of-care rules are needed.
