As a younger viewer (I'm 21) I absolutely prefer Claudia and everyone I know that watches Strictly would agree. I know she annoys some people but she's one of my favourite things about the show.

I think Emma is pretty good as a presenter and interviewer, but she'd be totally wrong for Strictly.
I get the impression that she's very professional and can be quite serious...but you need some eccentricity/theatricality for Strictly (which Claudia has in bucket-loads).

Who bust him? Have they sent out for some superglue?

Absolutely agree with this!

I agree. There isn't a barge pole long enough to touch anyone tainted by BB.
Besides, Claudia is intelligent, quirky and amusing. Emma is blandness personified.
Love Claudia also liked Zoe last year so she would be my next choice.
Emma I do like her but she can get screechy and she isn't very good at being impartial.

Why do we need a thread on this? Claudia is doing a great job, and isn't going anywhere.
SCD gets ten million viewers the highest rated light entertainment show, the old saying...
If it ant broke...do not fix it.

Claudia by far but the Barry Chuckle suggestion amused me... how about both Chuckle Brothers doing It Takes Two?

Seconded.
Never, ever seen why Emma gets work. Ms dull and dreary with no discernible talent whatsoever. She must have 'known' some high fliers to get where she has.
Same as the talentless Holly Willoughby
I wouldn't want to see either of them in charge. Claudia is great in her supporting role, but I'd like to see someone less irritating than Emma Willis, or indeed Tess Daly in charge.
I'm pretty sure now, having sampled the alternative, that I found Brucie less annoying.

I'm with you on this one. I doubt if anyone would notice Bruno's faux pas once Frankie started

Neither of them. Definitely not Claudia and if we have to have someone other than Tess then Zoe Ball is the obvious choice (and who I would have on the team already to replace Claudia).

How very dare you, I like Tess
I think the teo ladies are doing a great job presenting, I am just glad they got rid of Brucie.
Oh my days..my will to live really got pushed to its limits towards the end. The staged silly "jokes"..and the dancing..and the "jokes".and the fact he was clearly exhausted.
Did I mention the jokes?

In a nutshell.
In a totally unrelated and a trifle superficial note I do wish Claudia would wear less eye-liner or apply it differently.

You've made a valid point here. She does tend to look like Alice Cooper in drag, or even Alice Cooper not in drag. No offence intended to either Claudia or Alice Cooper.
I dislike both, sorry. Claudia is far too old for the way faux childish way she acts and dresses. Her idea of humour is to wear a hat! And Emma W thinks it is funny to be crude. For me the ideal combination would be Tess and Zoe. Both are very competent and professional and I find them a pleasure to watch.
I LOVE Claudia and I also LOVE Emma Willis. She's bland???? I don't see it at all. I propose Claudia and Emma host the show!!!!!

Emma is very popular with the public Paul.
