July 19th 2024.
We are eagerly anticipating the announcement of the star-studded lineup for the upcoming 2024 season of BBC's Strictly Come Dancing! While we may have to wait a few more weeks for the show to return, rumors have been circulating about potential contestants, with one major social media sensation being added to the mix.
Amidst all the excitement, the show has also faced some challenges, with recent allegations against pro dancers Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima. However, the BBC has confirmed that changes will be made to ensure the well-being of all celebrities participating in the show.
As we eagerly await the reveal of the official lineup, it has been reported that it has been more difficult this year to recruit female celebrities for the show. Last year's winner, Ellie Leach from Coronation Street, wowed audiences with her professional dance partner Vito Coppola, beating out other finalists in a spectacular finale.

Now, let's take a look at some of the rumored contestants for this season. There's been speculation that Hannah Waddingham and Nicola Peltz are among the top names being considered, along with a popular YouTube star who has a huge following.
But the potential lineup doesn't stop there! Reports suggest that stars from Claudia Winkleman's hit show, The Traitors, are also being eyed by Strictly producers. This includes Mollie Pearce, Harry Clark, and Paul Gorton, who may be seeking revenge after a shocking betrayal on the show.
Another familiar face that may be gracing the Strictly dance floor is rugby player Danny Cipriani. After impressing in last year's Christmas special, he is reportedly in talks with the BBC to join the show and has even flown back to the UK for further discussions.
But the biggest news of all is that Strictly may be making history this season with its first blind contestant, comedian Chris McCausland. He has hinted that he may be considering the opportunity, but acknowledges the challenges of learning to dance without being able to see. However, he seems up for the challenge and even joked with This Morning hosts about joining the show if they do too.
Other potential contestants include Bank of Dave star Dave Fishwick, who has been praised for his inspiring work in his community, and actress Hannah Waddingham, who has captured hearts with her role in Ted Lasso and her recent hosting of Eurovision.
We can't wait to see who will make it to the final lineup and take to the dance floor this season! Who are you rooting for? Let us know in the comments.

So who might we see on the dance floor this season? According to the latest updates, Hannah Waddingham and Nicola Peltz are among the top names rumored for consideration, and now a YouTube sensation has been added to the mix. Let's take a look at everyone who has been tipped so far.
GK Barry is reportedly "super keen to get on board" with Strictly. The 24-year-old YouTube star has had a second meeting with show bosses, and they believe she would be a perfect fit for the younger audience they aim to attract. GK Barry is excited about the opportunity to become a household name, despite already having a huge following online.
Mollie Pearce, Harry Clark, and Paul Gorton, stars of Claudia Winkleman's murder mystery game show The Traitors, are also being considered for Strictly. After Mollie lost the game to Harry in an ultimate betrayal, signing up for Strictly could be her chance for revenge. The show's producers are also hoping to continue the success of The Traitors, which is hosted by Claudia. Mollie's potential participation would also be a positive moment of representation for people with disabilities, like herself.
Retired rugby player Danny Cipriani is reportedly in talks to return to the Strictly dance floor after impressing with a score of 37 out of 40 in last year's Christmas special. He has held discussions with the BBC about joining the show, and he will be flying back from the US to have further talks. Danny's family and friends have been encouraging him to say yes to the opportunity.
Comedian Chris McCausland is also rumored to be joining the show this year, and he has hinted that "it's on the cards." He would become the first blind contestant on Strictly. Chris has openly spoken about his sight issues and is determined to show that it won't hold him back on the dance floor. He has even teased hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, saying he will only do it if they also participate.
Dave Fishwick, star of Bank of Dave, has reportedly been approached by Strictly bosses. The 52-year-old has become a community hero and a symbol of the best of British. The show's producers believe his inspiring story and work for the people of Lancashire would attract new fans to the show. Dave has told friends he has accepted and is excited to get started.
Hannah Waddingham, who has gained a global following thanks to Ted Lasso and presenting Eurovision last year, is also rumored to be joining Strictly. As a friend of judge Anton Du Beke and his wife Hannah Summers, she is seriously considering the offer. The actress is in high demand, so it will depend on her schedule if she can fit it in. But she loves the show and has heard so much about it from her friends.
