September 18th 2024.
A well-known star from Strictly Come Dancing recently expressed their concerns about the dangers of competing on ITV's Dancing On Ice. As we eagerly await the first live show of the 2024 season, Anton Du Beke, who has been a judge on the show since 2021, will be joining his fellow judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and head judge Shirley Ballas.
Before becoming a judge, Anton was one of the original professional dancers on Strictly, making his debut in 2004. He has also appeared on other TV programs such as Anton & Giovanni's Adventures in Spain and Michael McIntyre's Big Christmas Show.

Although Anton has had a successful career on Strictly, he has made it clear that he has no interest in competing on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! due to his intense fear of spiders. He even joked that he would be "hysterical" if faced with them on the show. However, this doesn't stop the speculation of who will join the line-up, with rumors of former X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos potentially joining.
In a recent interview, Anton also shared his thoughts on Dancing On Ice, stating that it is "terribly dangerous" and that he doesn't want to do anything that could potentially harm him. This comes as no surprise as several celebrities have sustained injuries on the show in the past, including Olympian Greg Rutherford, who sliced his stomach open during a routine earlier this year.
As Strictly returns for another season, fans are excited to see the new celebrity line-up, which includes Love Island star Tasha Ghouri, former Towie castmember Pete Wicks, DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles, and Gladiators icon Montell Douglas. The couples will perform their first routines this Saturday, with the comfort of knowing that no one will be eliminated in week one.
However, despite the excitement, the show's ratings for its launch show were lower than previous years, with 5.7 million viewers tuning in. This could be due to the recent bullying scandal surrounding the show, which has caused some viewers to turn away. The BBC is hoping for an increase in ratings once the live shows begin and the celebrities start to get voted off.
Strictly Come Dancing is set to return on Saturday night at 7pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, don't hesitate to reach out to the entertainment team via email or by visiting the Submit Stuff page. We always love to hear from our readers.
