Overview
- Multiple UK outlets, citing unnamed insiders, say BBC bosses are considering Lampard to succeed Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, who confirmed their exits in October.
- Lampard’s cover role on ITV’s Lorraine concluded after schedule changes that extended Good Morning Britain into the 9–10am slot and reduced Lorraine’s runtime.
- She previously competed on Strictly in 2008, which insiders say aligns with producers’ reported preference for former contestants as presenters.
- No official decision has been announced by the BBC, and representatives for Lampard and the show have not confirmed the speculation.
- The series is expected to return in August, with host announcements typically made weeks in advance as other high-profile names remain in the rumor mill.
