Emma Willis became Saturday night television’s busiest presenter, moving from BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing to ITV’s The Voice in an almost four-hour broadcasting stint

Strictly attracted around 5.1 million viewers, while The Voice managed only 1.4 million, its weakest audience for the period amid continuing criticism over Tom Jones’s departure

will.i.am is reportedly unhappy with ITV’s decision, while Willis has already left the singing contest

Stacey Solomon and Alesha Dixon are expected to replace her, leaving BBC bosses to consider whether Strictly’s presenting line-up needs a rethink.
