Carlos Gu on Hosting: 'Born Performer, Not Presenter'
22 Mar
Summary
- Carlos Gu views hosting as outside his performance abilities.
- He praised Claudia Winkleman as witty, cool, and confident.
- Strictly bosses seek a new presenting trio, possibly with a male host.
Strictly Come Dancing champion Carlos Gu has stated he will not be pursuing a hosting role on the show, describing himself as a 'born performer' who is not cut out for presenting. Gu shared his positive thoughts on former hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly, calling them 'iconic' and praising Winkleman's confidence.
In related developments, Strictly bosses are reportedly considering a significant shake-up of the presenting team. Producers are said to be looking for a new male co-host to join a female presenter, potentially returning to a format similar to that of Bruce Forsyth.
Names reportedly in contention for the hosting positions include Bradley Walsh, Rylan Clark, and current professional dancer Johannes Radebe. Additionally, Emma Willis and Zoe Ball are rumored to be strong contenders for a hosting spot, with Zoe Ball reportedly being the front-runner.
Producers are allegedly planning screen tests for their preferred candidates in the coming weeks. The aim is to create a traditional presenting duo, possibly incorporating a stand-up comedian to bring humor to the show, reminiscent of Claudia Winkleman's style.
