Strictly Come Dancing 2025 line up rumours including royal and Olympic athlete

Strictly Come Dancing fans are already looking forward to the 2025 series

Professional Dancers Dianne Buswell, Nadiya Bychkova, Amy Dowden, Karen Hauer, Katya Jones, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Gorka Marquez, Luba Mushtuk, Jowita Przystal, Johannes Radebe, Aljaž Škorjanec, Kai Widdrington, Nancy Xu, Carlos Gu, Lauren Oakley, Michelle Tsiakkas and Vito Coppola are all set to return - with two brand new professional dancers due to be announced in the coming weeks. Moreover, all four judges - Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke - are confirmed to return to the panel, alongside hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. The athlete, who BBC bosses regard as a "genuine national treasure", is seen as an ideal choice due to his wholesome image and high-profile status, which they believe could attract viewers and restore trust following a series of scandals last year.
