As a longtime fan of Strictly Come Dancing, I must admit that this year’s lineup has left me a bit perplexed. With so many allegations and controversies surrounding the show, it seems like the producers are trying to shake things up, but not always in a positive way.


On Wednesday, it was evident that Nadiya Bychkova was shooting a scene alongside DIY SOS’s Nick Knowles at The O2.

35-year-old dance prodigy with striking blond hair was seen in the same place as 61-year-old television personality Nick, leading to whispers that they might team up in the upcoming season, hinting at a potential partnership.

Nadia appeared cheerful, accompanied by a compact film team, while exuding elegance in a crisp white blouse and relaxed light-blue denim pants.

She increased her stature with high heels, letting down her long, wavy blond hair when she was out and around.

Simultaneously, right beyond the shopping mall, Nick could be spotted taking a brief break with a cigarette, dressed neatly in a stylish blue suit.

The pairings for the event are still pending; the BBC is awaiting a response from TopMob regarding their comments.

Following news that Kai Widdrington will not be partnered with a celebrity for the upcoming 2024 series, it is now known to occur after this announcement.

The 29-year-old dance professional, partnered with Angela Rippon in the 2023 series, appears to be deeply disappointed by the recent decision that was made.

In a recent development, the Strictly star, who parted ways with his girlfriend Nadiya in June, has been temporarily removed from the show due to the ongoing controversy surrounding it, marking another setback for the program.

Despite being set to return, Kai is unable to compete anymore because there are only a few female celebrities participating. However, he will still be involved in the group dance performances.

This year marks a historical moment for the show as only six female contestants are set to face off against nine male ones.

A source shared with The Sun: ‘Kai has unfortunately been left out in this predominantly male line-up for this year. Given the limited number of female celebrities, it was likely some professionals would not be matched, and it’s unfortunate that Kai is among those affected.’

He performed exceptionally well during the previous series alongside Angela, earning him favor among fans. However, similar to his experience from last year with Nadiya who was not assigned a partner, decision-makers must consider multiple aspects when deciding which dancer will be paired with each celebrity.

They evaluate potential team members based on factors ranging from physical stature to chemical tests, which unfortunately didn’t work in Kai’s favor this time. However, he’ll still participate in the group dances with other male performers who weren’t chosen this season.

TopMob have contacted Kai and Strictly Come Dancing for a comment. 

After Amanda Abbington and Zara McDermott shared their stories about bullying during rehearsals, the predominantly male cast faced accusations following this revelation.

This year, Giovanni Pernice, aged 33, and Graziano Di Prima were accused of mishandling their celebrity dancing partners due to alleged mistreatment.

1. In a strong statement, Giovanni asserts his innocence regarding the allegations, while Graziano, aged 30, first admitted and expressed remorse for actions he took against Zara.

The identities of the contestants competing in series 22 of Strictly, beginning in September, were unveiled from August 5.

The announcement regarding the verdict in the Giovanni-Amanda Abbington dispute is anticipated to be made within a few days.

The Strictly scandal erupted when Sherlock actress Amanda quit the show in 2023.

She asserted that her dance partner, Giovanni, had been abusive toward her, causing her to eventually withdraw from the competition.

In July, Graziano was dismissed amid allegations that he had physically struck his famous dance partner, Love Island star Zara McDermott, during their collaboration period.

Nick, former footballer Paul Merson and GB hockey sensation Sam Quek are set for new series.

2024 series’ first celebrity contestant, blind comedian Chris McCausland, revealed his participation in a broadcast on This Morning on Monday, sharing the exciting news.

JB Gill (formerly of JLS), singers Wynne Evans and Toyah Willcox, as well as NHS and television doctor Punam Krishan, will also be participating.

In addition to Love Island’s Tasha Ghouri, reality TV personality Pete Wicks from TOWIE, EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick, actors Shayne Ward and Sarah Hadland, along with Olympians Montell Douglas and Tom Dean, are set to be part of the show as well.
