Overview
- Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman confirmed last month that this series will be their last after 12 years as co-hosts.
- Speaking on BBC Radio 2, Vernon Kay told speculators to "wind your necks in" and questioned the idea that producers are picking successors mid-series.
- Kay joked that he and Rylan Clark could take over when pressed about potential replacements.
- La Voix left the competition after an ankle injury in rehearsals, prompting no elimination that week, scores carried forward, and a results-show send-off.
- BBC content chief Kate Phillips said there is no time for screen tests or chemistry reads during production, with the host search to resume in the New Year.
