All celebrities rumoured for Strictly 2025 line-up including reality TV icon
Following the success of Strictly Come Dancing 2024, in which Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell lifted the Glitter Ball trophy, rumours are already swirling around who will be next to take part. It remains to be seen who will take to the dancefloor when the BBC show returns later this year, with some suspecting a former winner of The Traitors could be joining the cast. Our line-up of professional dancers has been confirmed, with all last year's favourites returning, plus the addition of two new pros to come. But who will they be teaching how to tango? Among the current rumoured lineup is reality TV darling and Danny Dyer's one and only daughter – Dani Dyer. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Let's take a look at the rest… It has been a big year for Love Island winner Dani Dyer after she tied the knot with her footballer fiancé Jarrod Bowen in a fairytale wedding. After reigning triumph in the world of romance, it looks like she is set to swap the bouquet out for dance shoes so she can hit the ballroom floor later this year on Strictly. 'Bosses are thrilled she's agreed to take part and are ironing out her fee. 'She's bubbly, down-to-earth and straight-talking and producers reckon she'll make an ideal contestant – not to mention the bonus of having Jarrod and dad Danny in the audience supporting her,' an insider told The Sun. If she makes it to the final line-up then she'll be miles ahead of her father aka EastEnders star Danny who has sworn off the show. 'I get offered to do Strictly every year, and it's not for me. I've got no desire to be mincing around in sequins,' he told The Sun last year. Jake Brown launched himself into reality TV stardom after winning the third season of The Traitors, sharing the prize with other winner Leanne Quigley. Speaking to The Sun, a source said that getting Jake in the line-up would be ideal: 'Strictly bosses think Jake would be the perfect fit for this year's line-up. 'He's a good guy, as viewers saw by his journey on The Traitors – so he will be popular with the fanbase and they love to cross-promote with other huge BBC shows.' Strictly Come Dancing has seen an increasing number of reality stars in its line-ups in recent years, while also featuring more dancers with disabilities. Jake has been open about his cerebral palsy, with the source adding that his inclusion could be 'inspiring to see how he tackles the dancefloor with a disability'. Queen Camilla's eldest son Tom Parker-Bowles, 50, is reportedly top of Strictly's wishlist. A food critic and writer, the Royal is no stranger to TV, having appeared on various culinary formats including BBC's MasterChef. King Charles' stepson's other TV credits include ITV's Food Glorious Food, Australian cooking series The Hot Plate, and Good Food Channel's Market Kitchen. According to a source, Tom was approached by Strictly last year, but the plan fell through. Bosses are hoping for better luck now as his signing would be a real 'coup.' They told The Mirror: 'Top of their wishlist is MasterChef star Tom. His name was also sounded out last year but never materialised. Bosses hope they'll have better luck this year. 'It would be a coup to sign someone with such a strong royal link. Maybe we could see Camilla and Charles in the audience?' Tom's father is Queen Camilla's ex-husband Andrew Parker-Bowles. He also has a sister, art curator Laura Lopes. Ex On The Beach star Ashley Cain could appear on Strictly after catching the eye of BBC bosses. The reality TV star, 34, reportedly made a list of stars producers would like to appear on the next season of the show. 'He's a proper character with a very interesting background that looks the part,' a source told The Mirror. 'He would be a great addition to the Strictly lineup. He's presented a couple of shows and has really impressed.' The former footballer previously said he would like to take part in Strictly as a tribute to his late daughter Azaylia, who died in 2021 at eight months old after suffering from leukaemia. Ashley and his former partner, Safiyya Vorajee, raised more than £1.5million for Azaylia's treatment before her death and have since continually raised awareness and money for charity. 'Me and my family are known for dancing. That's what we do,' he told The Sun last year. 'When I had my daughter in hospital, when she was poorly, any time that she used to be feeling poorly or she was going through chemotherapy, I used to hold her in my arms, and I used to dance with her. 'And I'd dance with her for hours and hours and hours and hours. So something like Strictly would relate to me in a sense where I would love to do a Lion King-themed dance. 'I would love to be able to tell my story on such an amazing platform that could reach out to so many incredible people.' The X Factor alum Stacey Solomon is believed to have caught the eye of Strictly bosses, who are keen to sign her up. It's thought she first landed on their radar after winning a National Television Award for her BBC One series Sort Your Life Out in September. She also has a whopping online following of over six million, with fans obsessed with her life at Pickle Cottage with husband Joe Swash and their kids. A source told The Sun: 'Stacey is a hit with viewers thanks to her lovable personality. The BBC always want to showcase their own talent on Strictly, and Stacey's show has already bagged them an NTA. 'Fans will also love watching her husband Joe Swash in the audience cheering her on every week.' Stacey would surely be open to the conversation should the Strictly phone call come, having expressed her love for the show in the past, despite not being the best dancer. 'I would never say never, but I am a terrible dancer, an absolutely terrible dancer. I don't know why, but I have no rhythm when it comes to movement,' she said in 2022. 'I have rhythm with singing or listening to music, but when it comes to moving my feet, I am left-footed; I have two left feet!' However, she's a self-professed Strictly fanatic, declaring herself 'obsessed with the costumes'. 'Also, I would love to learn a new skill like that. I love learning anything, to be honest,' added the Loose Woman. 'I'd be one of those people who would go out in week 1, and they'd be like, 'Well, that was a waste of time!'' Last series, Miranda actress Sarah Hadland wowed viewers and the judges with her dancing talents, reaching the grand final with her pro partner, Vito Coppola. Throughout the series, she was inundated with support from her celebrity pals and co-stars, most notably Miranda Hart herself, who gave the nation a gorgeous surprise by sitting front row in the studio. She even made her way into the VT one week, taking her pet pooch to visit Sarah and Vito in rehearsals and cheer them on. Miranda made no secret of the fact that she was Sarah's biggest cheerleader, sharing a video to Instagram each weekend for motivation and joking about being her sidekick's teacher. So, it's no surprise people want the star to take part in Strictly next time, now that she's returned to the public eye after battling chronic health issues for some time. People even want her to follow directly in Sarah's footsteps and be paired with Vito. Miranda galloping her way onto the Strictly dancefloor is not a want, but a need . Strictly fans also have their eyes on Big Brother 2023 finalist Yinrun Huang for the upcoming series. The foodie influencer has gained a following of hundreds of thousands with her online content since finishing fourth in the first outing of ITV's reboot. Her cooking videos have repeatedly gone viral, as have her dancing videos with husband Luke. There's one video in particular that got people talking, though, as she performed the Charli XCX Apple dance with Strictly professionals Nancy Xu and Carlos Gu. Proving herself to have natural rhythm, Yinrun has now been backed to take things one step further and compete in Strictly. '@bbcstrictly get her signed up!', commented @hmn_028 on her vid. 'Keep dancing , see you on Strictly next year', echoed @dancingmags68. She was invited down to the show last year and has remained close pals with Nancy, specifically over the past few months, so if there's such a thing as a Strictly Easter egg, we reckon this could be it. If this rumour is true, Angellica Bell is in for a busy year! She started off 2025 strong by heading into the Celebrity Big Brother house with the likes of JoJo Siwa, Mickey Rourke, Chris Hughes, Jack P. Shepherd, Donna Preston, and Patsy Palmer. The CBBC star is, of course, no stranger to live TV, having started out on children's telly before moving to co-host with Martin Lewis, so we have no doubt she'd ace it under the pressure of Strictly. According to reports, Angellica was a 'reserve' for last year's series, just like when Kelvin Fletcher took over from Jamie Laing in 2019 when he got injured and had to pull out. More Trending But now, Angellica is hoping to be an original cast member. 'So when I've had like, in-depth conversations with people who are my friends and they say it's great,' Angellica previously told The Sun, 'I would definitely go from their recommendation.'
