It has been seven months since former Strictly Come Dancing hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman announced their shock departure from the show they co-hosted together for 11 years.
Now, according to reports, the BBC have found their new faces of the beloved programme following weeks of speculation.
The Daily Mail has reported that Josh Widdicombe and Emma Willis are set to fill Tess and Claudia's shoes, with Johannaes Radebebe also set to be "part of the hosting line-up," according to the publication.
The South African-born dancer and choreographer, 39, has been a professional on the show since 2018, but a new report now claims he could be presenting this year.

This is just one of the huge changes to production for the latest series of the glittering BBC show, as five of the favourite professional dancers have been let go from the programme.
It was announced earlier this year that Karen Hauer, 43, Gorka Marquez, 35, Nadiya Bychkova, 36, Michelle Tsiakkas, 30, and Luba Mushtuk, 36, will not be returning for the upcoming series of the show.
Fan favourite, Gorka, said he wasn't returning to the programme due to a scheduling conflict between the BBC show and the Spanish version, on which he serves as a judge.
Alongside a black-and-white photo, Gorka wrote on Instagram: "After last year's decision to step down as a full-time professional due to scheduling conflicts between Strictly and Dancing with the Stars Spain, I've decided that now is the time to hang up my dance shoes and say goodbye to Strictly Come Dancing.

Being part of the show has been so much more than just a professional opportunity—over the past 10 years, it allowed me to build a career from my passion, find love, start a family, and make lifelong friends. For that, I will forever be thankful."
He continued: "Although I'm stepping away from the dance floor, I can't wait to dance on the Strictly Pro Tour starting this week and continue being part of this incredible family. Now it's time to take a step back, enjoy the sidelines… and hopefully hold up a few paddles and give out some tens along the way.
