Out of those two Anton but I want him to keep dancing.
Graham Norton gets my vote - he did a dance show a few years back and was great I thought.

Is this a sh@g, marry or die type poll?
And can I wait until after Christmas before I put the gun to my temple?

Vernon would be my choice (despite his smutty texts 
) but I like Tess also - OK - I have made a choice - get rid of Claudia and let Vernon be the main presenter - and Tess can stay in the "Tesspit"

Bobby Davro might be good as well.

It's a brilliantly worded poll, actually.

I've voted for that..I'm taking it as being the same as "neither of the above".

Anton is not experienced enough...and Tess is hated enough already without shoe-horning her husband into the picture - so I'll take the third!
How about Bradley Walsh with Tess?

However it doesn't say that - in fact it clearly says to opposite.
Kate Thornton to replace Tess. She was brilliant on the live tour last year.
David Walliams to replace Bruce? He's a fan as he's often in the audience with his Mum.
In fact you could have anyone to replace Bruce as far as I'm concerned, just get rid of him!

I think the presenter would have to be someone older and experienced who has done both live presenting and dancing but can't think of anyone... I am going to throw a name in here that maybe nobody has thought of yet.....Claire Balding
I think she is easily the best live TV presenter around and I can see her fitting in easily.
Maybe get rid of Tess as well, and have Chris Hollins doing her job.”

Depends if you want jokes. Then its got to be a Vernon or a Norton.
Tess could do the presenting/controlling job. Someone like Chris might be able to do the interviewing/holding hands job if you were prepared to change sexes in the roles?
If you are able to go to two females Tess and Zoe is obvious. Zoe can do live Tv and she already knows the contestants from ITT.
The worst possible combo would be Anton struggling to tell jokes - and Claudia going off on irrelevant rambles. There's a reason she's been put onto programmes past most people's bedtime.

Oh, great. Mr. Zero personality who couldn't even handle the Queen's Jubilee Pageant. Looks like a startled rabbit in the headlights - perfect.
Neither.
I love Anton but he is not a TV presenter and I suspect he would not be suitable. As for Vernon Kay... it needs someone with more audience appeal and gravistas IMO.
Alexandra Armstrong is my favourite.

^^This, with big sequined knobs on.
I still think Gethin would be good at presenting Strictly. He has the connection and has been presenting for years. Also his ego wouldn't get in the way, unlike some suggestions.
The suggestion of Alexander Armstrong is a good one.

Not Norton, there is plenty of camp with the two judges and contestants/dancers. He won't bring any 'class' to the proceedings either.
The two girls do fine and why not break the mold and just let them carry on as they do on 'Sunday'?

This would be an inspired partnership, and breathe new life into the show.
