Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Claudia and Tess have been loyal servants to Strictly Come Dancing over the last twenty years, so it wouldn’t surprise anyone if they made a comeback to the ballroom in some capacity.
“The pair are 16/1 with us for either to compete in this year’s series, so we’re certainly not ruling anything else for the ex-hosts.
“As for who steps into the hosting role this year, Emma Willis, Bradley Walsh, and Rylan Clark are the latest frontrunners, but expect some further twists ahead of this autumn’s latest edition.”
