  "textContent": "\n\n\nTwo of Strictly Come Dancing's most recognisable faces are venturing beyond the BBC ballroom with a brand-new venture amid an uncertain time for the series.\n\nAnton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood have revealed they will be launching a podcast series together called Judgemental, which promises to deliver the judges' wit and candid observations on a range of topics.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe show is being billed as a playfully outspoken programme where the pair will tackle everything from trivial matters to more substantial debates.\n\nAccording to the official description, each instalment will see the duo gather over tea for what promises to be an entertaining exchange of views and friendly disagreements.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe format positions the long-standing Strictly colleagues as arbiters of taste, delivering verdicts with theatrical flair and sharp humour.\n\nListeners can expect the pair to weigh in on subjects spanning pop culture, social etiquette quandaries, guilty pleasures and beloved public figures.\n\nStories submitted by the audience will also feature prominently, with Mr Du Beke and Mr Revel Horwood applying their assessments to the most outlandish contributions.\n\nTopics that typically divide opinion will form the backbone of each episode, covering everything from wedding customs and office politics to fashion choices and romantic entanglements.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe programme promises the sort of unfiltered honesty typically reserved for conversations between close friends.\n\nMr Du Beke expressed his enthusiasm for the venture, stating: \"Craig and I have always enjoyed a good gossip, and now we finally have somewhere to put all our very important opinions.\n\n\"It's joyful, ridiculous and, naturally, an extremely good listen! Join us!\"\n\nHis co-host was equally enthusiastic about the opportunity to share their views with a wider audience.\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n  * Clarkson's Farm trailer teases frightening scene with first look at Jeremy's emergency hospital dash\n  * Paddy McGuinness and ex Christine 'row' over sale of home as couple embroiled in 'overpricing' clash\n  * Channel 4 removes all Married at First Sight episodes following 'sexual assault allegations'\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\"Darling, everyone knows I love a verdict,\" Mr Revel Horwood remarked.\n\n\"This podcast gives us the chance to have an opinion on absolutely everything - from the fabulous to the frightful - and I couldn't be more thrilled.\"\n\nThe pair have been fixtures on Strictly since its launch in 2004, with Mr Revel Horwood serving as a judge from the outset while Mr Du Beke spent years as a professional dancer before joining the judging panel permanently in 2021.\n\nThe first episode of Judgemental will drop on Tuesday, June 2, with new instalments arriving weekly thereafter.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n>        View this post on Instagram            \n>\n> A post shared by Anton Du Beke (@mrantondubeke)\n\nAudiences will be able to tune in through the Rayo app, as well as major platforms including Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music.\n\nThe podcast launch comes as Strictly itself prepares for a notably different series when it returns in the autumn for its 24th run.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe BBC has confirmed that both Anton and Craig will be back on the judging panel alongside Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse.\n\nHowever, the show will feature two new presenters, while a number of professional dancers have departed the programme.\n\nFifteen professionals are set to return, including Amy Dowden, Johannes Radebe, and last year's champion Vito Coppola.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
