New Strictly Come Dancing Hosts Latest: Here are the 12 stars tipped to take over from Tess and Claudia - odds slashed on Angela Scanlon

There’s a new favourite to take on one of the highest profile jobs in British television.

Last year’s Strictly Come Dancing saw fomer professional Karen Carney lift the Glitterball Trophy alongside her professional dancer partner Carlos Gu.

But the show - and the final - was overshadowed by hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly announcing mid-series they would be quitting the show.

Strictly first aired back in 2004 and has become the world’s most successful reality television franchaise - there are version in over 60 different countries around the world.

Since debuting in 2004 there have only ever been three hosts of the show, with Winkleman taking over from Bruce Forsyth in 2014.

Now speculation is growing about who is going to take over the reins for the next series, set to be broadcast later this year.

And the odds are changing each week.

Here are the 12 current favourites, according to the experts at Coral.
