The more he does , the sooner that will be , but my personal feeling is that he doesn't yet have the experience nor the ready wit to take over on a live show such as Strictly.”
I dont want to start a row but obviously as a fan I have seen Gethin doing a lot of live presenting (not always on the TV) but large events with a live audience. He is witty and charming and extremely natural in fact he is better with an audience to feed off than recorded I think, I am not saying that hosting strictly wouldnt be a big thing because it would and is for most people but Just because you havent seen him doesnt mean he isnt doing live work. He has done 2 years of proms in the park (in fact he took over from Aled) as I said I dont want to start a row and wont say anymore but would just like to point out that just because you havent seen someone on your TV doesnt mean they are not doing appropriate work.
