Strictly Come Dancing bosses are reportedly concerned that the show’s judging panel could change if judges’ contracts are not renewed. Multiple outlets say the judges’ terms come up for renewal at the end of the current season, raising uncertainty about whether they will continue for the next year.
The reports frame the worry as part of a broader uncertainty around the programme’s on-screen line-up. One outlet links the pressure to potential changes involving the hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly, suggesting that host departures could increase the likelihood of judges leaving as well. Another outlet describes the situation as difficult to predict, with “anything could happen” as negotiations approach.
The outlets do not provide confirmed details of any actual resignations or decisions. Instead, they describe background discussions and sources characterising internal anxiety about how contract renewals and possible departures could affect the format going forward.
