Strictly Come Dancing stars spotted at rehearsals as identities finally revealed

This year’s Strictly Come Dancing stars have finally been confirmed, and the celebrities are already hard at work, having been spotted entering a rehearsal studio in London

The cast of Strictly Come Dancing are already getting their rehearsals in. Over the past few days, the famous faces taking part in the BBC One dancing competition have finally been confirmed by the network.

This year, the likes of reality stars Vicky Pattison, Thomas Skinner and Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK star La Voix have all been announced, alongside trailblazing model, Ellie Goldstein. But just days after they were revealed, it seems they’re wasting no time in getting their practice in, ahead of the show launching in just a matter of weeks.

Football star Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, model Ellie and drag star La Voix have all been seen entering a studio in London, getting their moves up to scratch as they wait to find out which professional dancer they will be partnered with. However, this year, it’s been announced that Gorka Marquez won’t be dancing with a celebrity but will still be taking part in group numbers, due to previous commitments on another dancing programme. It comes after Strictly’s Anton Du Beke shared heartbreak over wife’s ‘cruel and inexplicable’ diagnosis.

The new series is set to air in just a matter of weeks, with the latest batch of famous faces hoping to take home the iconic Glitterball Trophy, which last year was won by Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell.

Weeks before the show is due to start, there has already been much controversy surrounding Strictly – as an ex-employee of the BBC has alleged that he was offered cocaine by a Strictly Come Dancing star. The unnamed man, who worked behind the scenes on the broadcaster’s dancing competition for a decade, has claimed that he saw a number of its celebrity contestants ‘partying’ after filming was over and alleged that he saw stars ‘drinking and taking drugs’ at the time.

Amidst the controversy and the buzz for the next series, this year’s celebrities have been snapped for the first time arriving for rehearsals as fans await the final few names…
