BBG News

It was confirmed that a celebrity from Strictly Come Dancing will appear in the upcoming season, as keen observers noticed them at the studio.

This fall, the popular reality TV series, previously shot at the BBC’s Elstree Studios, will be back on your screens.

It’s said that Dani Dyer, aged 28, was spotted at the studio this week, leading to speculation that she might be part of the upcoming cast.

A user on Reddit posted about their daughter, who works as a receptionist at Elstree, being thrilled after spotting Dani Dyer at the studio the previous day. There seems to be a connection with Strictly Come Dancing.

Delighted fans commented: ‘I’ve heard her name floating around so thats brill news x’

Another added: ‘She is rumoured actually! I guess she will be on it, she’ll be good.’

It emerged last month that Dani might be embarking on a major career milestone, possibly joining the lineup for Strictly Come Dancing.

It’s said that the star will appear in the upcoming series. According to The Sun, she has allegedly agreed to a contract for the show and is now negotiating salary terms.

According to a source, the bosses are delighted that she has agreed to participate and are currently negotiating her compensation.

She’s lively, sincere, and straightforward, and producers believe she’d be a great fit for the show. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that Jarrod and her father Danny will be cheering her on from the audience.

TopMob contacted the BBC and Dani’s reps for comment.

Last year, Danny, his actress daughter at age 47, mentioned that he is often invited annually to participate in Strictly Come Dancing, but he consistently declines as it doesn’t suit his preferences.

In an interview with The Sun, the television personality explained his reasons for refusing the opportunity to appear on the cherished BBC program.

In a manner typical of Danny, he shared with the newspaper that annually he is offered Strictly, but it doesn’t appeal to him. He has no inclination towards prancing about in sequins.”

Or simply:

“Just like Danny usually does, he told the newspaper that every year he gets an offer for Strictly, but it’s not his thing. He has no interest in dancing around in sparkly costumes.

In other news, Strictly Come Dancing has announced the addition of two sensual new professionals to their roster as they gear up for the upcoming season.

Alexis Warr and Julian Caillon are set to dance their way onto our screens alongside several well-known stars later this year. Interestingly, they have previously appeared on international adaptations of Dancing with the Stars.

Born in America, Alexis Warr, age 25, gained widespread recognition by winning the American dance competition So You Think You Can Dance in 2022. She was subsequently titled ‘America’s Preferred Dancer’, making history as the first female Ballroom and Latin dancer to win

For the past three years, I’ve had the sheer joy of being an integral part of the sensational dance troupe gracing the stage of Dancing with the Stars in the United States. Not only have I had the privilege of performing as a guest professional dancer on this iconic show, but I’ve also been fortunate enough to be a part of its electrifying tour across America.

Apart from performing on America’s Got Talent, World of Dance, and touring nationwide across the U.S., Alexis has additionally teamed up with Derek Hough, a judge on Dancing With The Stars, for three tours, including his Vegas residency as well.

Before the official announcement, Alexis had given a hint about potentially becoming part of the Strictly professionals’ new team. She posted a video just before her weekend trip to the UK.

For six years, the vibrant redhead, known as Mrs. Jake Burton, frequently posts affectionate photos with her husband on Instagram.

Alexis expressed her excitement about becoming a part of Strictly, saying, “For years, I’ve looked up to Strictly, and now, being welcomed into this outstanding community feels like an immense honor.

I’m eagerly looking forward to entering the ballroom, genuinely expressing myself throughout each moment, and spreading my passion for dancing across the UK.

Born in Australia, Julian began dancing at the tender age of 10, focusing particularly on Ballroom and Latin American styles. His talent eventually led him to represent Australia on an international dance platform.

For three seasons, he graced Australia’s Dancing With The Stars stage as a professional dancer. He has traveled around the world performing in the successful dance show Burn The Floor. Additionally, he participated in So You Think You Can Dance in Australia.

Julian holds an Exercise Physiology degree from the University of New South Wales, Sydney, and during his dance profession, he’s also worked as both a Personal Trainer and an Exercise Physiologist.

He expressed that being a part of Strictly’s cast feels like a long-held dream realized. For years, he has eagerly watched the show, particularly rooting for all the talented dancers he knows and collaborates with who have graced its stage. He’s thrilled to dive in, enjoy the process, and be a part of something extraordinary!

Sarah James, as Executive Producer at BBC Studios, shared her enthusiasm by stating: “For a while now, we’ve admired Alexis and Julian immensely. So, we’re thrilled to announce their inclusion in our Strictly family with much anticipation!

These two individuals are exceptional dancers who have promising careers on the horizon, and audiences will surely enjoy discovering more about them.

Kalpna Patel-Knight, who oversees entertainment at the BBC, shares her excitement about Alexis and Julian joining “Strictly Come Dancing”. She eagerly anticipates the pair illuminating the dance floor this fall.

‘The upcoming series of Strictly will not only feature our exceptional professional dancers but also everything else that makes it special. We’re aiming to make it bigger, better, and shinier than ever!’
