The TV presenter and Radio DJ, who appeared on the tea-time programme for ten years, was appearing on Tuesday evening's The One Show when she revealed that her former co-star Rylan Clark-Neal could become the permanent host.
She told Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas: "I've loved every minute of it, all the dancing and everyone who has gone through it and I loved it. But, sometimes you've got to say 'try new things' - and also, someone else can do the show."

Zoe added: "And, you know it will be in safe hands. We love Rylan and maybe he'll do the whole thing. I will be watching though because I am the number one fan and I can't wait to see who is in the class 2021."
Rylan has co-presented the programme alongside Zoe since 2019 and proved to be a big hit with audiences as he interviewed the professional dancers and their celebrity partners, as well as revealing backstage gossip and welcoming famous guests. The BBC is yet to announce a permanent host for It Takes Two.
Zoe, 50, shocked Strictly fans back in May when she revealed that she would be leaving the programme after ten years. Posting a series of images on Instagram, the TV star stated it was time to face some new "cha cha challenges".
