I think Gabby left 5 live because the network is moving to Salford and several of their presenters have decided not to go...Gabby is one Simon Mayo is another (hence his move to radio 2) so I think it wasnt work load but location that was the issue for Gabby.....

Re Footygirls suggestion.....Alesha on ITT god help us is all I can say that suggestion....I dont want to have to not watch ITT and I really dont think I could listen to that horse laugh every day of the week.

Christ on a bike, Alesha or LESLEY GARRETT?! I agree, Jan, No!

Marian Keyes!!

God please none of those...

and if Marian did it, then I think 99.9% of the viewers would turn off.

Really? Aw I love her.

To be honest I can't get worked up about Claudia leaving ITT. She seemed dis-interested at times last series and seemed to have lost the will which is a shame really because when she was on top form I found her quirky and fun.

Please no to Marion Keyes- a great guest but way too flaky to present.

My proposal? Erin, mad as a box of frogs but knowledgeable and entertaining. That'd leave Anton free to go and ponce around with polystyrene walls and zelebs. Lord knows that we could all be spared the sight of his hairy chest and lame Latin gyrations, shudder.

God, imagine if Miranda did it, that would be amazing

I have to say I think JLC is a brilliant shout. He's enough of a kook to be fine with the dress chat, and he'd have no problem bringing a new personality and feel to the show. (Leaving Gethin free to step into Brucie's shoes when the time comes )

I have just had a thought...we could do with a presenter with tried and tested BBC experience, with personality, who knows what they're talking about...this could be a gamble, but...

Anton?

Miranda would be amazing!

LILIA should be the new presenter!

The other issue would be, who would co-host on the sunday (not live) show. If Claudia goes from ITT, I wouldn't imagine she would be doing that either.

According to the Sun she is still co-hosting the results show.

I think Zoe Ball would be good on ITT or, if we're looking at past contestants (not that I think that is absolutely necessary), how about Carol Smilie?

Enjoy!

Claudia has confirmed it on Twitter.

I immediately thought of Miranda when I heard and was pleased when reading this thread that it doesn't seem to be that silly of an idea as others have had the same one

NOOOO

I'm liking the idea of Miranda though, it has to be a mega superfan

I bet it will be Anton. They really can't keep him on as a pro dancer much longer, and this would test the waters for him as a Brucie replacement as well as keep him associated with the show until Bruce gives it up.

I'm quite indifferent, ITT has done downhill a lot in the last few years. It used to be funny and very quirky, now it is just interview after interview with all the couples, all saying the same thing. Anton can't make it much worse than it is already.

I bet you they replace Claudia with that Welsh Christine Bleakley lookalike from the One show!

Miranda would be a great replacement! I'd love to see her dancing with Len!

Dont think they will as both ITT and The One Show are live and follow each other in the schedule.

Anyway I think Alex Jones (which is the name you are searching for) will be a contestant this year.

Havent they been doing some interviews on delay on ITT last couple of years?
And yes think Alex will be courted to be a contestant this year.

Is ITT live? I always understood it was recorded at about lunchtime on the day of transmission.

Need presenting experience and some dancing affinity. Kate Thornton, subject to Loose Women commitments, would be a good choice. She is excellent on the live tour.

rumours of Claudia leaving ITT


Fantastic news, imo the only one worse than Mrs winkle would be Miranda bliddy hart.

Heads up: The Apprentice will crossover with Strictly Come Dancing tonight (see the online telegraph article from today).

NO!!!! please, not him!

I would love Miranda to host the show. She is a big fan of SCD and is very funny.

No, its was live everyday apart from Tuesday when Claudia did it.

Gabby replied to me on twitter & said she'd love to do ITT - however i stand by my original thoughts that it's far more likely to be Zoe Ball.
