Rumors have been swirling that Loose Women star Brenda Edwards will be joining the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing. The 54-year-old X Factor star is said to be a "dream signing" and has a lot of support from her large fanbase. She would be the latest in a long line of Loose Women stars who have graced the ballroom floor, including Kaye Adams, who competed last year.
A source told The Mirror: “Brenda is a dream signing. She has a huge fanbase from Loose Women and the talent to go all the way. She also has a very emotional backstory – the nation adores Brenda.”
The nation has been supporting Brenda during this difficult year, following the death of her son Jamal in February 2022 aged 31. Speaking of her grief, Brenda recently said: “It might be outside while I’m walking and one minute I’m fine and then the next I’m in tears. There’s no rhyme or reason as to how grief affects me, I’ve not got a manual for how to grieve. And so if I want to cry, then I’m going to cry.”
The rumors of Brenda joining the series come on the heels of reports that her Loose Women co-star Sophie Morgan could also be participating. If so, she would make history as the show's first ever wheelchair-using contestant. An insider said that Sophie already has a large fan base and is a strong advocate for inclusivity.
Other stars who are said to be taking part in the show this year include former Love Island star Zara McDermott, former EastEnders star Nigel Harman, and Bobby Brazier, the son of the late Jade Goody.
Strictly Come Dancing is set to air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer later this year and is sure to be an incredible series with an amazing lineup of stars!
