Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two's departing presenter Zoe Ball has said that she believes Rylan Clark-Neal should take over the show full-time.
Catching up with The One Show duo Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas on Wednesday (June 8), Ball was asked about her decision to leave the ballroom show's spin-off.
"I've loved every minute of it," she smiled, before adding: "But do you know what... sometimes you've got to say, 'Right, try new things' and also someone else can do the show.
"You know it's going to be in safe hands. We love Rylan and maybe he'll do the whole thing – whatever, I will be watching though because I am the number one fan and I can't wait to see who is in the class of 2021!"
In recent years, Ball has co-hosted It Takes Two with Rylan on a split schedule, so it would be a smooth transition if the former Big Brother star is appointed sole host.
Ball originally confirmed her exit from It Takes Two on social media last month, writing to her followers: "Dance lovers, after 10 joyous years I am waltzing away from It Takes Two.
"As a massive @bbcstrictly fan I have loved spending my Autumn teatimes with the celebrity dancers, the gorgeous & awesome pro dancers, the judges, my girl Vicky Gill, Rylan, Gethin & of course my main man Ian Waite.
"Time now for some new cha cha challenges. I will continue to support the Strictly family on the Breakfast Show & can't wait to watch the Class Of 2021 from my sofa. Huge love & grateful thanks to Tess & Claude & the whole Strictly clan, the ITT fans, my Glam Squad, Eve Winstanley, Alex McLeod, the BBC2 gang, & of course the best telly crew ever.
"I will miss you all immensely. As Iveta would say 'Friends for the life'."
Ball was recently seen on another dancing series altogether, as she was unmasked as Llama on ITV's The Masked Dancer.
Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One. It's due to return later in 2021.
