Christine Lampard Tipped as ‘Strictly’ Host Candidate After Lorraine Exit

Unconfirmed tabloid reports link her recent schedule change to the open BBC role.

Overview

  • Reports citing unnamed sources say BBC executives are considering Lampard and describe her as a firm frontrunner.
  • Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman announced in October that they would step down from presenting Strictly Come Dancing.
  • Lampard said farewell to ITV’s Lorraine in an Instagram post after cost-cutting reshaped the morning schedule.
  • ITV changes include Good Morning Britain taking the 9–10am hour for 22 weeks, leaving fewer stand-in slots and ending cover roles for Lampard and Ranvir Singh.
