ANGELA SCANLON CONFIRMED FOR STRICTLY COME DANCING 2023

Angela Scanlon is an Irish Television presenter for the BBC and RTÉ. She hosts the hugely-successful interior design show Your Home Made Perfect on BBC Two. Angela is the only woman in the UK and Ireland to have their own Saturday night chat show with Ask Me Anything on RTÉ One.

Last year, Angela published her first book Joyrider, part empowering guide and part memoir, all about the importance of bringing gratitude into everyday life.

Starting off as a stylist, she worked in fashion TV in Ireland, before beginning her UK career as the new presenter of Robot Wars and fronting documentaries for the BBC.

Angela said: “I’m terrified, I’m excited and I have so many questions. Will they make me tan? How itchy are sequins?! Do they do flesh coloured sports bras? Well - there’s only one way to find out, right!? Now I’m panicking a bit… but also secretly thrilled about the prospect of all that glitter. Let’s go!”

The news was revealed this morning on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast show. Angela joins Amanda Abbington, Angela Rippon, Layton Williams, Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Eddie Kadi in class of 2023.
