In the last couple of months, some of our favourite reality competition shows have returned to our screens. This includes The Voice UK, Strictly Come Dancing, The Great British Bake Off and Big Brother. They are all hosted by some of the UK’s most popular presenters, including Will Best.
Will began co-hosting Big Brother alongside AJ Odudu in 2023 when it was re-booted on ITV, and also hosts the Celebrity spin-off. This year he was announced as one of the stars competing on the 24th series of Strictly Come Dancing. He will be paired with Aussie dancer Dianne Buswell, as they compete to win the glitterball trophy.
Despite being excited for the presenter, many fans have been left with one big question- how is he on Big Brother and Strictly Come Dancing at the same time? For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter
Strictly Come Dancing returned to our screens on Saturday, September 19, however the first episode was a pre-recorded launch show. The live shows will be returning this Saturday, September 26.
Meanwhile, Big Brother kicked off it’s 23rd season on Sunday, September 13. Both reality competitions feature live shows, which has left fans confused.
One Facebook user posed the question: “Just curious… how will Will Best going to host Big Brother if he’s also in Strictly Come Dancing?”
Many people have speculated how Will can take part in both programmes, with discussions surrounding Strictly rehearsals, live shows and elimination episodes.
BBC have confirmed that although Will has a very busy schedule with both shows airing at the same time, he presents Big Brother live on Fridays after rehearsals, and takes part in Strictly live shows on a Saturday when Big Brother takes a break from airing.
Despite a very tight schedule, it makes it possible for Will to juggle both shows on both channels.
Thankfully both shows are filmed in London, perhaps more questions will arise if he makes it to Blackpool week.
In addition, to his hectic work schedule his personal life is about to get busier too. Earlier this month, Will announced that he is expecting his first child with his fiancée, Tobi Rose
He broke the news on Hits Radio to his co-presenters Fleur East and James Barr on The Hits Radio Breakfast Show.
Will said: “Tobi and I are having a baby! They’re going to be bopping about soon and they can’t wait to come on the radio and chat to everyone.
“People won’t be able to tell the difference, to be fair, between the baby and me, I’d imagine.
“I was hoping you guys could be permanent full-time nannies – for me and that means that Tobi can then look after the baby!'”
A source told The Sun that the baby is due to arrive whilst Will appears in this year’s Strictly.
He has admitted that he’s already struggling, saying: “Obviously I’ll be missing the little nipper and you know, I’ll be tired
“I mean, I’ve already done some little interviews for Strictly, where I’ve talked about Tobi and stuff, and I’ve already cried. So I’m going to be a blubbering mess.”
You can watch Strictly Come Dancing on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 6.15pm on Saturday, September 26.
