August 5th 2023.
Krishnan Guru-Murthy was recently revealed as the fourth contestant of Strictly Come Dancing 2023. The Channel 4 anchor had gone to great lengths to keep his identity secret until the big reveal, which happened on Claudia Winkleman’s Radio 2 show.
Krishnan, 53, had originally been made to wear a rather familiar disguise to the BBC studio, one that had been worn before in another of Claudia’s shows, The Traitors. The huge, heavy cloak was apparently just the right amount of disguise to keep his identity a secret.
Shortly after the announcement, Krishnan took to Twitter to share a snap of himself in the cloak, looking completely unrecognisable with a hood up, a scarf around his face, and sunglasses covering his eyes. He jokingly paired the snap with a picture of Star Wars character Yoda, and a caption that read “The Traitors cloak they made me wear to keep the secret going into the BBC. From two different angles #strictly”
Fans all over the world reacted to the news, with one writing “Win the Glitterball Trophy you will”. Another joked, “Are you doing the new Scottish Widows ad?”
Krishnan had said that he was a bit nervous about taking part in the show, but had decided to join in the spirit of “you only live once!”. He said that his wife and daughter were “thrilled”, while his son was “appalled”. In response, Claudia assured him that he would “turn him around” as soon as he got on the dancefloor.
It will certainly be interesting to see Krishnan Guru-Murthy joining Strictly Come Dancing. We wish him all the best in his new adventure!
