The popular show Strictly Come Dancing has returned, and Dani Dyer and Lewis Cope were the first celebrities paired with their professional dance partners during Saturday’s opening episode.
The 29-year-old Love Island contestant is dancing with Nikita Kuzmin. She recently shared that her mother-in-law actually predicted this pairing!
The mother of three shared with the Daily Mail that someone predicted the outcome would be one of two possibilities, and they were absolutely right.
Nikita burst through the door, exclaiming, “I can’t believe it! All I want to do is learn how to move my hips!”
Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe this! So, Kristian had to pull out of Strictly, which was awful, but they’ve brought in Lewis, the Emmerdale actor, as a last-minute replacement! And he’s been paired with Katya Jones! I’m so excited to see them dance together, it’s such a surprise pairing!
Ross King seemed thrilled when he and his dance partner, Jowita Przystał, were paired together, playfully joking that she’d gotten ‘the short straw’ – and the short Scottish person – as they announced their pairing.



La Voix will be partnered with dancer Aljaž Škorjanec, even though the performer playfully suggested he wasn’t her first pick.
She playfully pretended to be upset when Aljaž walked in, saying ‘Not you!’ before rushing back to give him a big hug.
Rugby player Chris Robshaw is pairing with Nadiya Bychkova on the show, and he’s said he’s definitely pushing himself outside of what he’s used to by joining it.
He admitted this was completely outside his usual activities! He’s excited to try dancing with his dad, and his mom is looking forward to getting him involved in her Zumba class.
‘Let’s see if a rugby sidestep works in the Cha Cha Cha.’



The challenging BBC competition has had a series of controversies in recent years, and this season is proving to be no exception.
I was so shocked to hear about Thomas Skinner! It’s come out that he cheated on his wife just weeks after they got married last May. He’s calling it a ‘moment of madness’ and describing it as a very short fling, but honestly, it’s still incredibly upsetting news.
Amy-Lucy O’Rourke, who had a secret affair with him, later told the Daily Mail that their relationship lasted about three months. During that time, she said he told her he was in love with her and dissatisfied in his marriage.
The woman claiming to be Thomas’s mistress has threatened to reveal further details of their relationship. On Thursday, Thomas spoke to his 700,000 followers, alluding to difficult times in his life.
Alongside a selfie, he penned: ‘Good Morning You Lovely People!!’.
Thomas shared that he had a good start to the day with a workout at the gym and is excited to continue dancing with his Strictly partner.
‘Remeber [sic]….Never give up, because one day you will look back and be glad you didn’t!
‘Now go smash it! You are ten times stronger than you can ever imagine.
Make the most of today! Focus on the positive, and don’t let negativity hold you back. Just go for it!
Just a few hours before, Amy-Lucy had defended herself against online trolls, stating she wasn’t someone who intentionally breaks up relationships.
On Monday, the aesthetician posted on her Instagram Stories, thanking everyone for the kind messages she’d received.
