Strictly Come Dancing fans are all saying the exact same thing when it comes to the show's brand new hosts with many questioning why the show needs three.
Last year, it was announced that Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman would be stepping down from their roles as hosts of the show.
Tess had been the host alongside Sir Bruce Forsyth since the first series, with Claudia taking over from Bruce in 2010.
The new hosts of the show include ex-professional dancer Johannes Radebe, as well as Emma Willis and Josh Widdicombe.
Strictly fans question the need for three hosts
The launch show featured an opening dance number with all of the professionals, judges, and new hosts taking to the floor.
Emma, Johannes, and Josh then introduced the new celebrities to their professional dance partners.
Many fans are not convinced by the show having three presenters with one person taking to X and saying: “Very early days but I'm not sure three presenters are needed.
“Emma and Josh are fantastic so far but Johannes is really wooden and just doesn't feel necessary.
“I adore him but he should've stayed as a pro.”

Another person said: “3 presenters still feels like too many.”
A third person said: “Why do they need three hosts? I don't get it.
“Emma holding them together so far, she's brilliant.”
Many Strictly viewers agree that Emma is the “perfect” choice to take over from Tess and Claudia.
One person wrote: “I love Emma I think she’s perfect to host this but I really think someone like Rylan should be standing next to her!”
Another person wrote: “Emma's a natural! Still early days but she's nailing it.”
