Strictly Come Dancing host Bruce Forsyth had admitted that he is happy with the changes to presenters on the show.
The veteran entertainer has been replaced on the Sunday results show by Claudia Winkleman but he will still host the main Saturday show with Tess Daly.
The 82-year-old TV presenter admitted that he is looking forward to having a less stressful year on the reality show.
Ht said: "It's a 12-hour show and I don't know any other TV presenters who do a show like Strictly, where it stops and you have another two-hour show for the results programme.
"We were trying to think of a different way of making it easier.
"It was the BBC who came forward with this idea and asked if it would make a difference if I didn't have the results programme. I thought immediately, 'My goodness, yes it will make a difference'.
"It means I will finish about 9pm, get home in time for Match of the Day and it turns my 12-hour day into a ten-hour day, which is much more manageable."
He added: "I am going to feel very different on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I am sure this is going to make a massive difference."
However, Forsyth refused to be be drawn on whether this will be his last series as host.
He said: "Everyone has been asking if this will be my last series since the first one."
