Dr Karen Wood, associate professor at the Centre for Dance Research at Coventry University, agrees and says the trio “are now really starting to feel a bit more settled”.<\/p>\n
“I think JoJo has transitioned beautifully from professional dancer to host, and obviously he comes with all his fabulousness,” she says.<\/p>\n
“He’s able to talk about the technical details as well as be very supportive to the professional dancers and the celebrities. And his outfits are just marvellous. So I think he suits that role very well.<\/p>\n
“Likewise, Emma is holding her own when she’s with Josh and when she’s not. She’s an experienced presenter. You can you can tell.<\/p>\n
“And Josh is bringing the humour. I know it’s come with some criticism. But last week was the first week that I felt, oh, these two are actually funny.”<\/p>\n
She concludes: “It’s really feeling like they’re finding their stride and their rhythm with it. And I think that’s going to develop more and more – very much as the celebrities do.”<\/p>\n
Just as the show’s celebrity contestants improve week by week, the same may be true of the hosts – except viewers can’t vote them off if they don’t like them.<\/p>\n
