The upcoming Strictly Christmas special is shaping up to be an exciting and star-studded event! The first three celebrities have been officially announced, and the latest addition is causing quite a stir. Vogue Williams, known for her work as a presenter, DJ, and fitness expert, will be joining the dazzling cast and will be partnered with professional dancer Carlos Gu.
During an appearance on spin-off show It Takes Two, Vogue expressed her excitement about joining the Strictly family and revealed that she is already in the midst of training for her routine to Rock-In Robin by Bobby Day. She also joked that Carlos would have a better chance of winning a Nobel Prize than turning her into a good dancer, but she is determined to give it her all.
In addition to her broadcasting work, Vogue has also made a name for herself as a podcaster and has appeared on various TV shows such as Lorraine and Steph's Packed Lunch. She is married to Spencer Matthews and has hosted her own radio show on Heart Radio.
This year's Christmas special will make history as RuPaul's Drag Race UK finalist Tayce becomes the first drag artist to take part in the BBC dance show. She will be paired with professional dancer Kai Widdrington and promises to bring all the glitz, glam, and disco balls to the ballroom floor.
Tayce's participation follows in the footsteps of RuPaul's Drag Race UK judge Michelle Visage, who appeared on Strictly in 2019. However, Tayce will be the first drag artist to compete as a contestant.
During the announcement on It Takes Two, Tayce made a dramatic entrance and promised to bring "the electric, the drama, the je ne sais quoi, the passion and the fashion" to the dancefloor. She also joked that the real question is not if she is ready, but if the show is ready for her.
Joining Vogue and Tayce in the Christmas special is comedian Josh Widdicombe, who will be paired with fan-favorite pro dancer Karen Hauer. During an appearance on It Takes Two, Josh admitted to feeling terrified and worried about ruining Christmas for the nation. But with Karen by his side, we're sure he'll have a jolly good time.
It Takes Two host Janette Manrara also revealed that there are four more stars yet to be announced for the Christmas special. Last year's winner, EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick, is currently competing on the main show.
Strictly Come Dancing returns this Saturday on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Stay tuned for more exciting announcements about the Christmas special! If you have any celebrity stories, videos, or pictures, be sure to get in touch with The Agency entertainment team.
