Zoe will be good, she's an experienced broadcaster. Glad Claudia isn't deserting us completely, but she's saved her marriage once and obviously feels that family time together is important. Good for her

Will Zoe's Dad be coming on ITT to set us a 'Strictly Teaser' like he seems to on every other show she's on.


I shall so miss Claudia and Len dancing. It was the high spot for me on ITT.

Holly had her baby in April, Claudia had hers in July.
And Celeb Juice is once a week.

I am quite pleased that Zoe is taking over on ITT. Claudia did grate on me at times, plus I think having a past contestant presenting will be good.

I'm so pleased.

Claudia was clearly hating it and getting more and more morose. I much prefer Zoe Ball, and she's actually funny.

I really liked Claudia on ITT but Zoe isn't a bad replacement, it could have been so much worse. Imagine if it was Anne Widdecombe.

I'm still not sure why some people are saying Claudia will be back.

If Claudia had to be replaced, then I'm glad it was with a celeb who had been on the show and had a fabulous time. Plus she has been involved with the tour and so she combines all the right kind of experience.

Claudia did say in an interview with the Mirror "Everyone who watches Strictly knows how much I love the show and enjoy presenting It Takes Two. This year I’m dipping out, ....."

So I think that may be one of the reaosns that the Claudia fans are hopeful that she will be back on ITT in 2012.

There are similar quotes from her elsewhere too!

And, given that she is still doing the results show, the retention of the link with SCD and her success on ITT makes it highly plausible that if she is available she is pretty likely to be doing ITT next year!

Got my fingers crossed!

Wouldn't it be nice if the BBC did:

Well Claudia - here are some of your best bits.

Can't imagine she'd ever give it up completely ! But you can't blame her for wanting to put family first...

Claudia has just had a baby or is about to have a baby, I can't remember which, so she's unable to do the show this year.


Ooops just seen about 15 replies

I love Zoe Ball. She is experienced, funny and a character. I really liked Claudia too, so would be pleased with either.

I like Zoe, and they could have picked a far worse replacement for Claudia.
Agreed. No-one will ever be able to match the saintèd Claudia. but hopefully Zoe will be a good choice to "mind the shop" for a year.

No ITT for me this year, then. That'll teach me to pine for the halcyon days of JLC .... I tolerated Claudia but can't bear the thought of watching ZB - she was annoying enough as a guest on ITT

Zoe is like bubbly cheap pop. Not a lot of substance.

Yep, and when I saw her sister at the Will & Kate do, I realised just why Claudia feels that need to suck in attention like a Black Hole in the studio.

I'll miss Claudia on ITT but I'm sure that it's a big commitment timewise so it makes sense that she not be involved this year.

I really liked Zoe when she was dancing and I think she will be a good replacement.
Terrific dancer, but doesn't know when to shut up, it really annoyed me how she talked over James all the time, he hardly ever got a word in, so hope she allows her guests a few words.
