It's no secret that Strictly Come Dancing has been one of the most entertaining series in recent years. With two clear frontrunners already emerging, it's hard to deny the excitement that this season has brought. However, many fans believe that there should be a third contender in the mix.
Chris McCausland and Wynne Evans have undoubtedly captured the hearts of the nation, and for good reason. Chris, the first blind contestant in the show's history, has left viewers in awe with his incredible dance skills. When he was first announced as a contestant, I was expecting him to be a fun addition to the show, especially after seeing him on Have I Got News For You. But never in my wildest dreams did I think he would move me to tears with his graceful moves on the dancefloor.

Chris is truly one of the best things to happen to Strictly Come Dancing. It's no coincidence that he has come at a time when the show needed him the most, distracting fans from recent controversies and scandals. And then there's Wynne Evans, better known as the iconic 'Go Compare' man. His charm and wit, which we saw during his win on Celebrity MasterChef last year, undoubtedly landed him a spot on this season's line-up.
If this season of Strictly Come Dancing will be remembered for one thing, it's definitely the fun and excitement that Chris and Wynne have brought to the show. I'm already placing my bets on both of them making it to the final, mark my words. But there's one contestant who seems to be flying under the radar, and that's Gladiators star Montell Douglas.
Before joining the show, most Strictly fans probably weren't familiar with Montell. However, she's an Olympian and former British record holder for the 100 meters, making her one of the only two athletes in the world to have competed in both the Summer and Winter Olympics. And if that's not impressive enough, she also represented Team GB in bobsledding just six years after taking up the sport.
But it's not just her impressive track record that should make her a fan favorite on the show. Montell is known as 'Fire' from her time on Gladiators, a show that made a triumphant return in 2024. The BBC took a risk in reviving the popular 90s series, but they managed to capture its magic, thanks in part to the amazing cast.
Fire is one of the most beloved Gladiators, especially among young fans. But it's her fiery energy on the dancefloor that sets her apart from the rest of the contestants. And let's not forget her chemistry with her partner Johannes Radebe, who is undoubtedly one of the best choreographers on the show. Together, they are a perfect match, and I can't wait to see what they have in store for us each week.
Sure, there may be better technical dancers on the show, but Strictly Come Dancing has always been about more than just fancy footwork. It's also about likability, and in that aspect, Chris and Wynne are currently leading the race for the Glitterball trophy. But for me, Montell is a close second, and it's a shame that she's not getting the recognition she deserves from the judges and viewers.
It's time for everyone to start paying attention to Montell and acknowledging her as a serious contender for the final. I, for one, am rooting for her to take the trophy home. So, let's all tune in to tonight's episode and witness her and Johannes' diva performance to "One Night Only" from Dreamgirls. If they pull it off, I have no doubt that she will be the talk of the town. Don't miss out on the fun, catch Strictly Come Dancing tonight at 6.25pm on BBC One.
