Strictly Come Dancing has reportedly signed up a major TV star to compete in the BBC show's 20th anniversary later this year despite the ongoing scandal around misconduct
Strictly Come Dancing has reportedly signed up another celebrity despite the ongoing drama around alleged misconduct by the show's professional dancers.
A source told the publication: “ Nick has always loved Strictly and he is so excited about appearing on the show. He’s got a great personality, is incredibly driven and competitive and is up for giving anything a crack. He is rumoured to be competing against the likes of EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick, who won last year's Christmas special, and blind comedian Chris McCausland.
The BBC has launched an inquiry into Amanda's complaint and Giovanni - who has left the show - said earlier this year: "I reject any suggestion of abusive or threatening behaviour, and I look forward to clearing my name."
