StrictlyComeDancing appears to be bending its own rule with the new line-up!
We can't wait to see Jamie Laing on the show! August 05, 2019 - 16:19 BST Britta Zeltmann Strictly Come Dancing bosses have appeared to make an exception to an unwritten rule on the show, announcing reality TV star Jamie Laing as one of their 2019 celebrity contestants.
Strictly has allowed reality contestants to compete in previous years, including The Only Way is Essex star Mark Wright, who made it through to week 13 of the show. But last year judge Craig Revel Horwood emphasised that the show rarely takes reality stars on. Speaking about The Only Way Is Essex star Gemma Collins, he told The Sun: "Gemma Collins would be fun on the show but it's not very often that we have reality stars take to the ballroom.
The heir to McVitie's biscuit empire will join the likes of 19-year-old social media star and YouTuber Saffron Barker, Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley, former England goalkeeper David James, BBC Breakfast presenter Mike Bushell, CBBC presenter Karim Zeroual, Viscountess Weymouth, Emma Thynn and EastEnders actress Emma Barton vying for the glitterball in September.Like this story?
