Will Mellor is the first to be announced. I know him. “ Not going to lie, it's totally out of my comfort zone and I know it will be a huge challenge but that's what life is all about.
"I lost my dad in 2020 and from then I've just thought I've got to grab life - I've got to do things and create new memories. My mindset changed and that's the reason why ."
"This is also my mum's favourite show and she's had a really tough few years so I'm doing this is for her as well. Bring it on!".
The third celebrity contestant taking part in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing has been announced as… Richie Anderson.
The presenter also went on to confirm that he would be competing in a same sex partnership, and said: “It’s also a massive honour to be part of an all-male dance partnership, it’s so important we have that inclusion on such a huge show.”
Can’t see the problem, if he’s gay he’d be happier dancing with another bloke. I mean the ones who identify as three legged gender fluid cats in tutus are a bit much but gay and lesbian dancers shouldn’t be an issue in this day and age. 🙄
