The final three celebrity contestants that will compete on the 2024 series of Strictly Come Dancing were confirmed on Monday.
Presenter Nick said: 'I danced in Rio last year doing an Argentine Tango and I thought this is great. My elder sister was a ballroom dancer so I am the least talented person in the family! Meanwhile Paul is an former professional footballer, manager, commentator and sports television pundit for Sky Sports.
She played as a defender for both the England and Great Britain teams, wearing squad number 13, and won gold as part of the British team at the 2016 Summer Olympics. He said on The One Show: 'I won't worry about it until it starts but when it does I will be nervous - I have only danced three times in my life'
Chris has previously spoken about blind representation in the media, telling The Observer: 'I think the best way to represent a disability is to make people forget about it whenever possible. It's always part of you. The singer first found fame on the fifth series of The X Factor where he finished as runner-up with the other members of JLS.
Speaking about signing up for the new series, he said: 'I did the Christmas special - it was great fun!' Punam Krishnan has also signed up and is an NHS GP and is one of the resident doctors on the BBC's Morning Live. 'This is surreal, me and the kids sit down and watch it and now I'm jumping off the sofa and onto the TV. I don't know what the kids will think but I'm sure they'll be watching and I don't know how this is happening to someone like me.'
Wynne told Vernon Kay on BBC Radio 2: 'I couldn't believe it because its like cloak and daggers. You're given a code name and you audition and meet the celebs and it is my favourite thing.' 'I've been in these adverts which has been in everyone's head and now the Strictly tune is in my head.' 'I'm definitely going to try and combine my love of Opera into one of my routines. Plus, after winning Celebrity MasterChef last year, maybe the route to the judges' hearts will be through their stomachs!'Toyah Wilcox was the next star to be announced. She has amassed thirteen top 40 singles, recorded twenty-five albums, written two books, appeared in over forty stage plays, acted in over twenty feature films and presented many television programmes.
Tasha Ghouri was next up to be confirmed for the show. She became the first Love Island star to appear on the show with a cochlear implant, which is an electronic device she had fitted aged five.She appeared on ITV's Love Island in 2022, and since then has amassed a following of over 2.2 million across her social media network.
'I know it's going to be an unforgettable experience and I hope to represent and make everyone proud out on that dancefloor.' 'Tasha is certainly no novice and will always be so far ahead of her co-stars before training has kicked in. Previously Pete has appeared on shows such as Celebs Go Dating, Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, Celebrity MasterChef and The Real Full Monty.He told the show: 'its a mixture of excited and petrified, generally petrified. I've been telling people, can you really imagine me really doing this and their like, yeah your right you wouldn't.'He revealed that he had already spilled the news to his best friend Sam Thompson, who 'cried.
It follows claims his abusive behaviour was caught on video, in clips Zara stated were 'incredibly distressing to watch.' Sarah Hadland is also doing the show. She made her name as Miranda's sidekick Stevie in the celebrated BBC sitcom 'I feel particularly excited to be part of such an iconic show in its 20th year. I’m so ready for the glitz, glam and glitter and hopefully I can make everyone watching at home proud!'
She has admitted she is a 'super fan' of the show and can understand why contestants who are dance trained, like her, come in for criticism. Shayne Ward was next to be announced. The star, 39, shot to fame in 2005 when he won the second ever series of The X Factor. He will join fellow X Factor star JB Gill, from the band JLS, on Strictly.
'I'm buzzing to see all of the sparkles and magic that is Strictly in real life,' Shayne said. 'I'm no stranger to live TV, but dancing Latin and Ballroom in front of millions is a whole new level. No promises on my dancing ability, but I will give it my best shot!' His stint will mark a return to Strictly Come Dancing after he competed in the Christmas Special last year, being crowned champion alongside professional dancer Nancy Xu.
He went onto win a further gold medal in Tokyo and become England's most decorated athlete at the subsequent 2022 Commonwealth Games, winning a total of seven medals. But Tom confirmed he is getting ready to take to the dancefloor while speaking after the men's 200 metres individual medley at the Olympics in Paris on Thursday.
'I don't do too well out of water in gravity sports. I'm throwing myself into it and I know what a hard day's training is like so I'm looking forward to it.
