Fans of Strictly Come Dancing have been buzzing with excitement as they have spotted a major clue about the pairings for the upcoming season. While the highly-anticipated launch show is just weeks away, the details of which professional dancers will be paired with which celebrities are being kept tightly under wraps. But that hasn't stopped fans from speculating and trying to piece together the puzzle.
There have been rumors flying around that Love Island star Tasha Ghouri will be paired up with Strictly veteran Aljaz Skorjanec, while DIY SOS host Nick Knowles and Nadiya Bychkova were spotted together at a shopping center in London, sparking further speculation. And now, fans have a new theory about the pairings of opera singer Wynne Evans and EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick.
Taking to TikTok, content creator @shirleighshirlz shared her findings of screenshots of playlists that appeared to be created by Katya Jones and Michelle Tsiakkas, with the names 'Wynne' and 'Jamie' respectively. Fans were quick to jump on this clue and have been discussing it on Reddit, with some even joking that reality TV fans make better detectives than Poirot.
While Michelle's playlist has since been taken down, Katya's is still available and includes songs like 'Dancing On The Ceiling' by Lionel Richie. Could this be a hint at a potential pairing between Katya and Wynne? This would also be Michelle's first celebrity partner on the show.
Speaking of Wynne, the Go Compare opera singer has expressed his excitement for the new challenge and has plans to incorporate his love for opera into his routines. Meanwhile, Jamie is returning to the ballroom after winning the Christmas special last year with Nancy Xu.
But it seems like there will be some changes this year on Strictly, as it has been reported that there will be no same-sex couples competing, unlike the past four seasons. In 2020, ex-boxer Nicola Adams and professional Katya Jones made history as the show's first same-sex pairing, and last year, Johannes Radebe made it to the final with John Whaite. Comedian Jayde Adams and Karen Hauer, as well as Giovanni Pernice and Richie Anderson, were also paired together in previous seasons.
But this year, there will be no same-sex pairings, and the BBC has also introduced new welfare measures, such as having a chaperone present in each training session, to ensure the safety and well-being of the contestants. With all these changes, fans are eagerly awaiting the return of Strictly Come Dancing, which is set to air on BBC One and iPlayer on Saturday, September 14.
