The celebrity friends have addressed the rumours about them hosting the BBC show together after Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly stepped down.
Speculation has been rife amongst fans regarding who might succeed Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman on Strictly Come Dancing.
Unfortunately, one certainty is that Alan Carr and Amanda Holden won’t be stepping into their shoes.
The celebrity pals, whose friendship has attracted increasing attention following their collaborative BBC series, disclosed this during a recent podcast appearance.
Alan, 49, and Amanda, 54, made the announcement whilst being interviewed by Jessie and Lennie Ware on their podcast, Table Manners.
During the discussion, Lennie enquired: “Can I ask a burning question? You two aren’t going to present Strictly together?”
Celebrity Traitors champion Alan responded with: “No, we said no ages ago.”

This follows Amanda addressing speculation that she and Alan might co-host the popular Saturday evening programme on her Heart Radio Breakfast show in December, reports the Mirror.
Discussing the decision at the time, Amanda clarified: “I want to say now that me and Alan are 100 per cent not doing Strictly.”
She continued: “We are so flattered to be in that mix. We both are not doing it.”
Elsewhere during the podcast conversation, Alan also dismissed speculation surrounding a potential return of his popular late-night comedy chat programme, Alan Carr: Chatty Man.
When Jessie Ware enquired: “Ooo, booked and busy, baby. When is Chatty Man coming back?” Alan responded: “Oh, that was another clickbait thing during Traitors.”
He went on: “It would be nice to do a chat show, I don’t know, but […] no one’s approached me or anything.”
The television presenters have recently launched their latest BBC series, Amanda and Alan’s Greek Job – which follows them undertaking another substantial renovation project, this time on Corfu.
This comes after Strictly Come Dancing presenters Tess and Claudia confirmed their departure from the prime-time programme in a joint announcement last year.
The duo’s final live broadcast concluded in December, proving an emotional occasion for viewers.
Tess had fronted Strictly since its inception in 2004, initially co-presenting alongside Bruce Forsyth before Claudia succeeded Bruce in 2014.
Their successors have yet to be revealed, though numerous prominent figures have entered the conversation – amongst them Alex Jones and Bradley Walsh.
Former BBC Radio presenter Zoe Ball has emerged as one of the frontrunners to enter the ballroom.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Zoe, who previously fronted Strictly’s companion show It Takes Two, commented: “Obviously, there’s a part of me that would love to do it. But I will still be watching, whoever hosts.”
Speaking about the programme, she continued: “This is the hilarious thing, it’s all anyone talks to me about.
“At the moment I am in mourning for Tess and Claud because I love those girls. I think everyone’s name is being thrown into the mix.”
She added: “I love that show. I loved performing on it with Ian Waite, who is one of my best buddies. It’s so joyful, and it’s live telly, which is another thing that people don’t give the girls enough credit for. That show is a beast. Whoever gets to do it has a tough act to follow.”
