"I've had the best time hosting the show alongside Janette and Zoe and I can't thank the amazing team enough for always putting on a great show.

"I've been welcomed into the Strictly family and will firmly hold that title dear to me.

"The time has come for me to pass on the baton to someone else and explore what else life has for me.

"Thank you Strictly, you will always have my heart...and dancing feet. Ry x."

Rylan joined the Strictly spin-off show in 2019, initially co-hosting the programme alongside Zoe Ball.

When Zoe, 52, left in May 2021 to focus on her BBC Radio Two breakfast show, former Strictly pro Janette, 39, replaced her alongside Rylan.

Strictly It Takes Two will announce a new presenter in due course.
