Holly Willoughby, Alex Jones spotted after being linked to 'Strictly' hosting roles

Holly Willoughby and Alex Jones were both spotted out about on Wednesday, following reports that they are frontrunners for one of television's most coveted presenting roles-the new host of Strictly Come Dancing. 

Holly, 44, kept things casual as she left a nail salon appointment, opting for a fresh-faced, make-up free look. 

The former This Morning presenter dressed down in black leggings, a cosy sweatshirt, and a baseball cap, carrying her £40 Cocopup dog carrier, complete with a built-in poop bag dispenser, as she appeared ready for a relaxed dog walk.

Meanwhile, The One Show favourite Alex Jones, 48, was seen enjoying a crisp autumn stroll in Windsor Park with her black Labrador, Scout. 

She sported a laid-back outfit of jeans, a checked shirt, and a brown jacket as she made the most of her morning off.

Speculation surrounding the next Strictly host intensified earlier this week after both ITV's former golden girl Holly and BBC stalwart Alex were tipped as potential replacements.

Former BBC One Controller Peter Fincham told the DailyMail's Richard Eden that Holly previously fronted Dancing On Ice alongside Phillip Schofield-is being considered to take over the BBC's flagship show following the announcement that Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly will step down at the end of the current series.
