Strictly Come Dancing fans have expressed their shock after three new celebrities were confirmed for this year’s line-up.
On Monday morning, Gladiators star Harry Leslie Aikines-Aryeetey, also known as “Nitro” was announced as the first star to be competing.
Later, three further famous faces were revealed on The One Show, with Love Island star Dani Dyer, former footballer Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Alex Kingston announced, prompting mixed responses from fans.
As they took to X, it was soon evident there was a divide down the middle with fans, with many admitting they weren’t pleased with the four stars announced so far, while others were delighted.
“Extremely underwhelmed with the lineup so far. I used to get excited about the announcements. Not any more. #strictly #TheOneShow,” one confessed.
Replying to the announcement, another asked: “Who?!” with another adding: “No idea on this one #strictly.”
“Apparently some sports star I’ve never heard of has been announced for @bbcstrictly #StrictlyComeDancing #Strictly,” a different social media user wrote.
However, others applauded the line-up, with one sharing: “Good lineup so far, hoping it continues like this.”
“#Strictly Brilliant lineup so far,” another echoed, while one more commented: “Sorry but I was not expecting Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to be doing Strictly this year, that’s so cool!! #Strictly.”
