Strictly Come Dancing has changed a lot in the last 12 months or so.

Fans have waved goodbye to Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman; several popular dancers have left, and most shocking of all, the series has got a new logo.

And sadly, all these changes have left some viewers feeling a bit discombobulated.

So far, Josh Widdecombe has unfortunately borne the brunt of the criticism, with many online being quite cruel about his presenting style.

Still, Strictly viewers have another bee in their bonnet this week, and this time it’s about the show’s sister series It Takes Two.

It Takes Two has also had a revamp. The series, which offers fans a glimpse behind the scenes as well as interviews with the judges and dancers, has a new host, Ellie Taylor.

And while fans have been pleased with Ellie, they’re less happy about a change to the format.

Instead of interviewing the celebs and their dancing partners together, they’re just interviewing the contestants.

On X, Siobhan asked: ‘So they’re not doing interviews with the couples? Just the celebs alone?’

She went on to say she ‘hates the change’ and likes to watch It Takes Two to see what the chemistry between the couples is like and how it’s developing.

‘Celebs being interviewed on their own will take some getting used to,’ agreed @RyanSoapKing25.

‘Watching the chemistry is the main reason I watch [It Takes Two],’ added Natasha L Kingston. ‘If it’s not broke, don’t fix it, Strictly.’

It’s not all doom and gloom in the Strictly ballroom, though, and fans were impressed with Ellie’s presenting.

‘Ellie Taylor is fantastic; she’s a real breath of fresh air and is a natural presenter,’ wrote self-confessed Strictly superfan Ryan Glendenning.

@karistbh meanwhile had very high praise, writing: ‘Ellie is literally the perfect host for It Takes Two.’

@FreakElectroPdn thought that Ellie Taylor proved in just one minute that she should have been in the Clauditorium and said everyone needs to give her a chance.

Ellie took over from professional dancer Janette Manrara and former contestant Fleur East.

Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two airs weekdays at 6:30 pm on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.
