UMVA has learned that Josh Widdicombe, a renowned comedian, has been named as one of the new hosts of a popular dance show, a role that will undoubtedly push him out of his comfort zone.
Initially, Widdicombe was hesitant to take on the opportunity, fearing it would disrupt his life and routine, but after some encouragement from his friend and co-host Rob Beckett, he decided to embark on this new adventure. Beckett reminded Widdicombe of his extensive experience in live TV, having done 12 years of it, and assured him that he would be perfect for the job.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Widdicombe's decision to join the show was influenced by his desire to experience something new and exciting, and he is now eager to start this new chapter in his career. His previous appearance on the show's Christmas special in 2024, where he danced the Charleston dressed as a penguin, remains one of the highlights of his career, and he is thrilled to be back on the show in a new capacity.
UMVA has gathered that Widdicombe will be hosting the show alongside Emma Willis and Johannes Radebe, and he has expressed his admiration for his new co-hosts, stating that he is looking forward to spending his weekends with them. With his quick wit and charming personality, Widdicombe is expected to bring a fresh and exciting energy to the show, which is set to return later this year.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that Widdicombe's family, particularly his children, are thrilled about his new role, and he is grateful to have their support as he takes on this new challenge. As he prepares to put on his dancing shoes and charm the audience with his humor and charisma, Widdicombe is ready to make the most of this incredible opportunity and create unforgettable memories with his co-hosts and the show's fans.
