STRICTLY COME DANCING 2024: THE RUMOURS SO FAR

The nation’s favourite dance show, Strictly Come Dancing, is returning to BBC One and BBC iPlayer this Autumn with another spectacular series of glitz, glamour and unforgettable performances with the brand new series promising to be extra special as Strictly turns 20!

Made by BBC Studios Entertainment Productions, Strictly Come Dancing, which recently won in the Best Entertainment category at the 2024 BAFTA TV Awards, will be presented by Tess Daly, who has presented during every series ever since the very first back in 2004, alongside the ever faithful Claudia Winkleman in the famous ballroom.

The judges desks will see the return of the awesome foursome - Queen of Latin Shirley Ballas, the magnificent Motsi Mabuse, the fantastically fab-u-lous Craig Revel-Horwood and the always effervescent Anton Du Beke.

THE RUMOURS

Chris McCausland

Comedian

A source told The Sun: "Strictly Come Dancing bosses are delighted by the signing and think Chris will be great on the show. He has a hilarious sense of humour and an infectious personality."

GK Barry

Social Media Star

A source told The Sun: "“Grace has had two meetings with Strictly about appearing on the show... Grace knows this is an opportunity to become more of a household name, even though she is already hugely popular online."

Martin Roberts

Presenter, Homes Under The Hammer

A source told The Mirror: "Martin is just waiting to sign his contract. It'll be a dream come true for him - and a delight for viewers."

Nicola Roberts

Singer, Girls Aloud

A source told The Sun: "Nicola is a beautiful dancer with amazing musicality. She was really impressive on the Strictly special and her waltz was beautiful. They’d love to have Nicola back and the offer is there for her."

Roman Kemp

Presenter

Kemp told The Express: "One of the producers walked past me on The One Show the other day saying, 'I'll get you on!' - I've said this in interviews but for me, I would never want to do Strictly because that show is about the talent. How great these dancers are, the emotion etcetera."

Toyah Wilcox

Singer

Wilcox told The Mirror: "Oh, God yeah. Well, I’d have to do it sooner rather than later, because I’m not going to be able to move like that in two years’ time. I do understand how hard they work. I’m friends with Angela Rippon and she was extraordinary."

Dave Fishwick

Star, Bank Of Dave

A source told The Sun: "Dave is a real community hero and the best of British. Strictly think his inspiring back story will win him new fans on and shine a spotlight on the amazing work he has done for people and business in Lancashire."
