Ellie Taylor is announced as the new presenter of the BBC spin-off Strictly It Takes Two. Multiple outlets report that the former Strictly contestant is taking over the role from Janette Manrara.

Home/Mail Online and the Daily Mail say Strictly main host Emma Willis makes the announcement, framing Taylor’s appointment as a return to the franchise after appearing as a contestant four years earlier. Other coverage similarly describes Taylor as a former contestant moving into the presenting role. The reports consistently identify the handover from Janette Manrara, while the emphasis varies between simply confirming the selection and highlighting Taylor’s prior involvement with Strictly and the timing since her appearance.
