‘Strictly Come Dancing’ fans won’t have long to wait until they can find out which stars will be lacing up their dancing shoes and heading onto the floor for this year’s series.
Chris Evans - because God knows he hasn’t been getting enough media attention lately - will be revealing the first celebrity taking part in this year’s series on his Radio 2 show this Monday (10 August). ‘It Takes Two’ presenter Zoe Ball confirmed this on Radio 2 on Wednesday.
Last year, fans of the show were teased with the revelation of one member of the line-up per day, through a variety of different media, and it sounds like bosses have a similar tactic lined up this time around.
In the past few months, we’ve seen rumours circulating all over about who could be taking part, with Peter Andre, Louise Redknapp and Jamelia reportedly on producers’ wishlists (and Michelle Heaton apparently on a one-woman mission to land a place on the show).
Check out the full list of rumours for this year’s ‘Strictly’ below, ahead of this Monday’s announcement…
