I slightly worry that this is a sign of the BBC wanting to escalate his visibility with a view to an increased role in Strictly, either as a judge or presenter, but I think he would be awful at either.”

Well. He's failed as a presenter once. With the BBC you have to think of their mind-set. "Ratings first, quality a distant second."
Perhaps they're going to try again with him on the back of the success of Strictly. But as it didn't work first time round, why they'd bother to try again.....
