Who will be hosting Top of the Pops?
Reggie Yates was due to be returning with Fearne Cotton to host the annual Top of the Pops specials.
However, the BBC have had to draft in a replacement for Reggie after he quit over anti-Semitic comments.
Reggie, 34, said he was standing down over “ill-considered remarks” in an interview.
He apologised last month for using the phrase “fat Jewish guy” to refer to managers in the music industry.
Radio 1's Clara Amfo will be the first new host of the show in over a decade.
Clara said: “I’m so happy and honoured to be presenting Top of the Pops alongside Fearne.
“It’s an iconic show that I’ve grown up with and continue to enjoy watching, especially during the festive season – 2017 has been a rich year in pop and I can’t wait to celebrate it with the artists, Fearne and everyone at home.”
