As summer comes to a close, the excitement for the upcoming season of Strictly Come Dancing is building. The BBC has started revealing the lineup of celebrities who will be hitting the dance floor in 2024. So far, we know that comedian Chris McCausland will be making history as the first blind contestant, JLS singer JB Gill will be bringing his musical talent to the competition, and Go Compare singer Wynne Evans will be showing off his moves. 80s icon Toyah Willcox and BBC Morning Live star Dr Punam Krishan have also been confirmed to join the show.
But that's not all - there are plenty of rumors swirling about who else might be joining the cast. Names like Hannah Waddingham and Nick Knowles are being thrown around, adding to the excitement for the show's 20th year. Just yesterday, a leaked lineup surfaced online, hinting at a Love Island star and an Olympian who might be vying for the coveted Mirrorball Trophy. With judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and Anton Du Beke ready to critique their every move, the pressure is on for these potential new additions.
It hasn't been an easy road for Strictly in recent months, as allegations emerged about the teaching methods of dancers Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima. Both dancers will not be participating in this year's competition. However, the show must go on, and fans are eagerly anticipating the new season.
