Radio 1 presenter Clara Amfo has disclosed that she secretly auditioned to host Strictly Come Dancing, but was disappointed after missing out

The 42-year-old, who competed on the show in 2020, described an elaborate process involving a mock studio, code names and a covert car journey

She ultimately praised the successful trio: Emma Willis, Johannes Radebe and Josh Widdicombe

The revamped format attracted a peak audience of 5.8 million for Saturday’s launch, although its average was slightly below last year’s figure

Viewers have already questioned whether three presenters are one too many.
