I really hope this is true. I love Claudia in the Tesspit and Tess works so much better presenting with Claudia than she did with Bruce.
There's the link which now works...

Strictly Come Dancing: 'Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman to co-host'
Quote:
“Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman are 'the BBC's choice' to present Strictly Come Dancing following the departure of Sir Bruce Forsyth
Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman are to be unveiled as the new Strictly Come Dancing presenting team, according to reports.
Daly, who hosted the show alongside Sir Bruce Forsyth until his retirement last month, will become the main presenter.
...
It would be the first all-female presenting duo on Saturday night television.
The BBC said an announcement of the new line-up is expected in the next week or two.
However, a Strictly source told the Sunday People: “It will work like the shows that Bruce missed last series. Tess will be the main presenter with Claudia doing the post-dance interviews.
“This very much fits with [BBC director of TV] Danny Cohen’s desire to be seen to promote female faces during prime time.
“Claudia is very well-liked in-house but it has taken a year or two for the audience to get used to her quirkier presenting style. Producers like the relationship between her and Tess. They gel nicely together.”

I'd be happy with that--but shame Ian Waite couldn't replace Tess as he's loads prettier and totally au fait with top notch Ballroom stuff and seems a super guy!
I would have thought that Vernon who is Tess husband would have been a better choice and that Claudia, does nothing for me she is so dim.
why don't you think again about contacting Vernon so see if he can do it instead.

I think this is year is a sort of bridging year where they're going with the safe option of Tess and Claudia, since they are both tried and tested, plus quite popular with the audience. Also, they won't want to get rid of Tess to avoid too much change alienating the audience.
Then next year they'll axe Tess and replace her with a new male presenter.

I'd like to hear you definition of dim. She's a very intelligent woman, who went to Cambridge University and has an MA Hons degree in History of Art.

I know - beyond belief! She is one of the wittiest and quick witted live performers on TV, male or female. I am delighted if she has got the job and I can certainly tolerate Tess with her, although I would have preferred someone a little more spontaneous.
I'm more than happy with this result. If it doesn't work out then it can be changed for Strictly 2015.
Must admit I'am a big fan of whacky Claudia.....just a shame she has't been given the lead role...if she had I think there would have been a few genuine laugh out load moments when chatting with the judges....Nevertheless I believe the BBC have made the right call...not really a fan of Tess but imo both her and Claudia work well as a team....Good luck to them both, although I doubt they will need it!!

Well the silly woman has had too much of that appalling lip filler, which she certainly did not need .
The Tess+Claudia combination has yet to be confirmed by the BBC, but they're right to go with a formula that worked pretty well before .
I suppose the big test will come with the ratings . If they start getting less then the Bruce+Tess combination then the female hosting duo could be in trouble .

I don't think she has had anything done. I've just copied that photo into Photoshop and enhanced it. It's just badly lit which makes her bottom lip look fatter than it actually is.

Not too sure about that....after seeing pic I did a quick Google search(old pics) and it definitely looks like she's had some filler treatment on the lips....why of why do ladies feel the need to have this done....Personally I think she needs to tone down the hair colour as well...too dark IMO...auburn would better suit.....Anyway...hope she's Deffo got the Job
Don't think we can assume any paper's doing more than speculating until the BBC makes an official announcement.
However much anyone likes or dislikes either Tess or Claudia (like Tess; can't abide Claudia) , they're not exactly A-list presenters and I don't think any programme can afford to coast for a series, even one as popular as SCD. And let's face it, however wide an audience it has had in the past, audiences are fickle, and the same people who've followed it for years will quickly slip away if they don't click with Bruce's replacement - they don't even have to dislike the person, just not find any rapport with him/her.
I think this is a make or break year for Strictly; if they pick the wrong person to front it, it could be a long-term disaaarster .....

Well..
Some of us did predict that this is what would happen.
The BBC were perfectly aware of the fact that when Bruce was on "senility leave" it had absolutely no effect on the ratings.
As ratings are their primary concern with any show, it seemed obvious that as the pair had coped admirably, they might just as well let them carry on instead of shelling out another fortune for another unnecessary big name.
Vernon Kay?
I'd rather have Bruce back....well..almost!

Maybe having no effect on the ratings was due to it being part way through a series and people were more interested in the on-going competition than the presenters, after all people who say they don't like Bruce continued to watch.
At the start of a new competition the choice of presenters could sway the decision to start watching the new series or not.

Many of us didn't "click" with Fforsyth, but we counted in the viewing figures even though we FFd or muted his bits.
You can't tell me that the audience was so big that they watched just for Fforsyth. The show is much bigger than the host, so so long as the job is done smoothly it shouldn't matter who hosts it. If it could survive Fforsyth, it can survive anyone.

As I said, some people may be more interested in the competition than the presenter.
I come here to find the result so I don't have to watch the results show, otherwise I would be FFing through the professional dance routines as their perfect dancing doesn't really grab me as much as those trying to dance and watching their improvement.

That just means that you can't think of a presentation team that would actually stop you watching altogether, because you already edit it, not everybody is the same. I watch it live on Saturday night. If it wasn't on, I'd simply find something else to do.
Let's try Graham Norton paired with Vernon Kay next time. There could be some interesting interaction between them, Bruno and Craig.

Unless you were all members of the BARB panel, or you watched via iPlayer your viewing would not have counted at all

What are you on about? Where do they get specific figures like 11.2 million from then?

Read up on BARB's work and how they compile the data (sorry, it's a bit long and involved, but here goes):
Quote:
“
In order to estimate viewing patterns across all TV households, a carefully selected panel of private homes is recruited. Each home on the panel represents, on average, about 5,000 TV homes. These panel homes are drawn from a household sample that is designed by RSMB to remain representative of all television households across the UK. This means it always encompasses the full range of demographic and TV reception variations, amongst other variables, that are found across the country and in different ITV and BBC regions.
To account for the constantly changing UK population profile and TV environment – and because some of the information needed is not contained in the Census data – Ipsos MORI conducts the BARB establishment survey on a continuous basis to measure changes in UK household characteristics. This is important to account for the constantly changing UK population profile and TV environment and also because some of the information needed is not contained in the Census data. The panel homes themselves are then recruited by Kantar Media, drawn from a representative sample provided by the establishment survey. This ensures that any changes in UK household characteristics are reflected in the BARB panel.
In every panel household, all television viewing is monitored automatically by special metering equipment installed by Kantar Media. Included in this process is viewing of recorded programmes that are watched within seven days of the original broadcast; this is referred to as timeshift viewing. More than 30,000 viewing devices are monitored across the panel of over 5,100 homes, including PVRs, DVDRs and VCRs, as well as standard set-top boxes.
Residents and guests in a panel home register their presence in a room containing a television set that is switched on, which is the BARB definition of television viewing. They then deregister when leaving the room. In this way, the meter records all viewing by every person in the household aged 4+, adding individual demographic information to the overall viewing data. This information is uploaded automatically to BARB every morning between 2am and 6am where it is processed to apply various statistical adjustments.
Each day at 9.30am the data are released to the TV industry as overnight viewing figures. Eight days later, consolidated audience figures are released, incorporating any timeshift viewing from the previous seven days. In both cases this minute by minute viewing information can be matched to the programme and advertising schedule to give viewing estimates for every programme and commercial that has been broadcast.
This consolidated information is the BARB gold standard on which the UK broadcasting and advertising industries rely for all reporting and trading.”

That's what I'm on about.
It's all a matter of statistical analysis using proven statistical methodologies. So unless you are one of the 5000-odd members of the BARB panel, your viewing does not contribute to the ratings figures.
As for iPlayer,
Quote:
“ From Autumn 2013, BARB will measure IP delivered services as well as over the air transmissions, which still represent the majority of television viewing in the UK's 26 million households.
For the first time we will have a gold standard report into viewing to TV player services such as 4oD, BBC iPlayer, Demand 5, ITV Player and Sky Go.”

Previously, the BBC has been able to provide direct usage stats for iPlayer downloads, but these were separate from the BARB overnights and consolidated figures.
