💨 Abstract

"Strictly Come Dancing" addressed criticism of new host Josh Widdicombe with humor during its fifth week. Widdicombe, alongside co-hosts Emma Willis and Johannes Radebe, faced mixed reactions since replacing Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. The show featured jokes poking fun at Widdicombe's early missteps, such as a dart gag and a deliberate autocue misread. Viewer reception seems to be improving as Widdicombe gains comfort in his role.
