Strictly Come Dancing season is nearly upon us with the 2026 line-up well on its way to being set, with 10 celebrity names already confirmed. This year's Strictly will look very different from past seasons, following the departure of longtime hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.

Now The Sun has reported that Ted Lasso star and former Strictly contestant Ellie Taylor will be the new host of It Takes Two.
