Heres a thought - what if it is Giovanni presenting instead of dancing if Janette takes some mat leave.

No. :cool:
I’d prefer Joanne ‘tuna sandwich’ Clifton and that’s saying something.

Yeah, since leaving SCD Aljaz has basically done a few shows with Janette and a couple of guest slots on ITT as far as I know.

And who looks at that man and thinks 'yeah, he's totally unwilling/unsuited to being a househusband/Stay-at-home-dad, that Aljaz!'

yeah - my friend said surely no one has ever looked at Aljaz and thought ‘that’s a man you wouldn’t leave in charge of a baby’.

Personally, I hope Janette continues to do ITT (words I thought I would never type) with a carrycot next to her. The passive aggressive (not here but deffo on DS) should a new mum really think about doing a job is making my teeth itch.

While simultaneously saying how Gorka shouldn't leave the show and he needs to provide for the family.

If Janette does decide not to do it this year Rhys would be a good presenter. Very sweet and funny but also humble and not constantly bringing themselves into the conversation. Although of course they may prefer a woman. Please not Joe Sugg though (aware he's not a woman).

He just doesn’t have the natural ease/timing/personality for presenting (not saying Janette necessarily does either but she’s trying). I get he’s quite a good showman at his tour shows, but professional presenting is a very different beast.

Just half an hour of him spinning.

Oh I'd love Rhys to do it actually - I feel like he'd bring the right vibe without going OTT and he already has the presenting skills.

And yeah, praying that if Janette wants a break, Joe Smugg won't somehow get this gig.

Helen or Rhys are the only acceptable replacements

Not sure Helen would be entertaining enough. Obviously Janette went overboard with the funnily fun fun hyper behaviour but Helen may be a bit straight laced for this. She'd definitely bring a welcome sense of calm though!

ETA: Forgot she was a Blue Peter presenter. Never mind, she'd be fine!

Regarding ITT, they would need a former contestant for a short cover period. Someone who knows the show and has presenting experience so can slot right in. AJ or Helen are the obvious picks - both did well on the show fairly recently and both can handle presenting. Someone suggested Molly which is an awful idea (sorry Molly).

But I think Janette will be back.
