Josh Widdicombe has revealed that filming Strictly Come Dancing’s launch show left him feeling unusually exhausted and dealing with stomach problems

Speaking on his Parenting Hell podcast with Rob Beckett, the comedian said a Dublin performance and a busy weekend of parenting added to the strain

Josh will host the programme alongside Emma Willis and Johannes Radebe, following the departures of Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman

The presenting trio endured a closely guarded, four-month audition process, during which producers reportedly disguised the project as a gardening programme.
