Gogglebox favourite Scarlett Moffatt has revealed who she believes will replace Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman on Strictly Come Dancing - and they've already competed on the BBC show. Last month, the dynamic duo took to Instagram to share the shocking news with their loyal legion of fans that they were departing the BBC reality show after more than 20 years at the helm. They confirmed that their final show will air on Christmas Day for the festive special, and they are preparing one final routine to go out with a bang.

Since then, fans have been speculating as to who could replace the powerhouse pairing in 2026. Now, Strictly superfan Scarlett Moffatt has revealed who she believes would be the best pairing to take on the coveted roles.

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, following her partnership with MAM UK on the 'As They Grow, So Do You' campaign, the brunette beauty urged one fan-favourite to return to the show.

As she discussed their exit announcement, she told us: "Do you know what? I'm so genuinely sad, it's like, I don't even know these people, but they've played such a big part in my life." The TV personality went on to share who her favourite presenter to take over the role would be, adding: "I think Zoe Ball would be amazing.

"She was amazing when she danced. I remember her doing ballroom with Ian [Waite], and she was unreal. She understands what everyone's going through, and she's an amazing presenter. She just makes it look so easy when it's not, so I just can't imagine anyone else doing it. I don't know who else it could be.

"I just know Zoe would slot in so well, but I think Anton's an amazing judge, but he is very Brucey. He does remind me of Forsyth and when I think back and remember when Bruce and Tess were together, I feel like they'd have a similar vibe.

"It's gonna be really hard. Whoever has to make that decision, I do not envy them because it's so difficult." The doting mum added that she would love to take part in the show herself after rediscovering her love for ballroom, and even teased that the only professional dancer for her is "Aljaz" Skorjanec.

Scarlett gushed: "He is the best, I don't even have to think about it. He just is, and I love him. And also I just love all the outfits that everyone wears on Strictly, I just think it's so glamorous."

It follows Scarlett's collaboration with MAM UK on their 'As They Grow, So Do You' campaign, which examines the increasing pressure modern parents face to be 'perfect'. Speaking about the campaign, she confessed "It's just to remind parents that there's no perfect way to do it, we're all learning and growing together.

"I think for me personally, every six months you get a new child and a new set of highs and lows, which is amazing. And I've realised that there's no perfect way to parent. This campaign is all about just getting that message out there because I think each child is different, and you do have to wing it a bit.

"Sometimes we make mistakes and sometimes we get it right, and that's fine, but I think. I think social media sometimes, I look at these mum-fluencers and I'm like, 'Wow, they're making their own jam from scratch. Should I be making jam from scratch?' and you start thinking crazy things. Just chill out, it's fine if you just buy jam from the shop.

"It's such a good campaign because I know that we're all a little bit self-critical sometimes, but as long as we try our best, that's all that matters." For more information, visit mambaby.com
