Emma Willis, the new presenter on BBC One’s *Strictly Come Dancing*, posts behind-the-scenes photos showing the show’s hosts practising with an autocue and getting their first look at the studio after the series begins. The images are shared shortly after the programme kicks off on Saturday night.

The coverage across outlets focuses on Willis’s social-media posts and includes mention of support from co-presenter Claudia Winkleman. Both sources describe the same basic content: practice sessions for on-air delivery and early studio viewing, presented as part of the new series’ start. The angle is largely centred on the human-interest behind-the-scenes access rather than on changes to judging, contestants, or production details.

While the reporting is brief, it consistently frames the post as a response to the start of filming or rehearsals leading into the first live episodes, highlighting the hosts’ preparation and team encouragement as the season gets underway.
