- They said the reality of leaving is only just sinking in and stressed that the final will focus on the winners rather than their goodbye.
- Daly has posted recent behind-the-scenes videos from the studio, describing the live production’s scale, tight timings, and last‑minute changes.
- Their joint decision to step down at the end of the 2025 series was announced in October via a social media statement.
- Daly has hosted since Strictly’s 2004 launch, and Winkleman joined as co-host in 2014 following Sir Bruce Forsyth’s departure.
