The 38-year-old professional dancer - who is the sister of fellow former 'Strictly' pro Kevin Clifton - is “incredibly honoured” to be taking full control of presenting the Choreography Corner, a much-loved segment on the BBC One Latin and ballroom competition’s companion show, which is presented by Rylan Clark and Janette Manrara.

Joanne - who won the Glitterball trophy in 2016 with her celeb partner Ore Oduba - told the Radio Times magazine: "I am so incredibly honoured to be taking the lead with Choreography Corner this year!

"'Strictly' has been – and continues to be – a massive part of my life.

"I've always had a brilliant time on 'It Takes Two' and it has been a joy to be able to come back and visit my Strictly family since hanging up the sequins in 2016.

"To be a part of the 'It Takes Two' team is an absolute dream come true and I look forward to seeing the fab-u-lous class of 2022 strut their stuff!"

Eve Winstanley, the spin-off’s executive producer, said: "We are so happy to have Joanne Clifton joining the 'It Takes Two' family this series.

"As a former 'Strictly' champ we couldn't be in better hands as she takes the reins of Choreography Corner."

Current 'Strictly' competitor and Bros star Matt Goss appeared on Monday’s edition (26.09.22) of the show and spoke about “constructive criticism”.

The 53-year-old 80s pop icon said: "Everyone seemed to get constructive criticism and then to say, 'Well, I don't quite know what it was but ...' Well, I want to know what it was."

Matt praised judge Craig Revel Horwood - who sits alongside Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, and Anton Du Beke on the panel - for his comments about his “frame”.

He said: "I did find great comfort in Craig - I never thought I'd be able to say that in week one. He did say he liked the routine but, again, he mentioned my frame. But he went on to say I will learn about my frame, which is the whole point.

"Motsi - she's dead right. I was into the dance but she wanted to feel me more. And that's what I needed. I needed that critique that I can actually go back and use, you know?"

Nadiya added: "I'm not a judge but I am a professional dancer and I think they were a bit harsh to be honest.”
