Tom Dean, a member of the British swimming team that achieved a glorious win, may soon be seen on the dance floor of the popular show Strictly Come Dancing. The 24-year-old athlete, along with his teammates James Guy, Duncan Scott, and Matthew Richards, made headlines with their victory in the men's 4x200m freestyle relay at the Paris Olympics. This added to Team GB's impressive medal tally. But it seems like Tom's winning streak isn't over yet, as sources have revealed that he could be joining the line-up of this year's Strictly Come Dancing, fresh off his two gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics.
According to insiders, it's a big catch for the show to have an Olympian who just won gold in Paris. Swimmers have proven to be fantastic contestants on the show, thanks to their fitness, competitiveness, and determination to win. And Tom, still basking in the glory of his victory in France, would definitely make a sensational addition to the cast.

The source also mentioned that although Tom may not have the same level of fame as other top-level swimmers, his stint on Strictly would change that drastically. He would join a long list of elite athletes who have previously appeared on the show, such as Olympic gymnast Claudia Fragapane, Paralympic swimming medalist Lauren Steadman, and bronze medalist Louis Smith. And with the show's upcoming 20th anniversary, the 2024 line-up is expected to feature some big names, including Hannah Waddingham, Pearl Mackie, Janet Street-Porter, Sarah Millican, GK Barry, Ralf Little, and Jill Scott.
But behind the glitz and glamour of the show, there have been some turbulent developments. Over the past year, two Strictly pros, Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima, were dropped from the show following allegations from their former dance partners, Amanda Abbington and Zara McDermott, respectively. Giovanni has denied all allegations and is determined to clear his name. Meanwhile, Love Island star Tasha Ghouri, who has been linked to Giovanni in the past, is also rumored to be a contestant this year. As the show's first-ever deaf contestant, Tasha has already made history and is expected to bring some incredible moments to the dance floor.
Talking about Tasha's potential involvement, a source shared that while some fans might be disappointed that she is a professional dancer, others will be more than satisfied to see her perform from the very beginning. She has also been a strong advocate for people with disabilities and has used her platform to raise awareness. The connection to Giovanni may be unfortunate, but above all, Tasha is a beautiful and deserving girl who would make the most of this amazing opportunity.
In the previous season, actor Ellie Leach and her partner Vito Coppola won the Glitterball trophy after a nail-biting finale. The Agency has reached out to the BBC for a comment, but Tom Dean's representatives have declined to speak on the matter. Do you have a celebrity story to share?
