Dan Walker is finally taking to the dance floor.
This year’s Strictly Come Dancing is shaping up to be a good one as BBC Breakfast’s Dan Walker is officially revealed as the eighth contestant competing for the Glitterball trophy.
The Strictly Come Dancing 2021 line-up is coming together fast, with Hollyoaks and Coronation Street star Katie McGlynn also revealed this morning.
Dan Walker? More like Dan Waltzer. We cannot wait to see @mrdanwalker swap @BBCBreakfast for the #Strictly ballroom!

Dan, who recently stepped down as the host of Football Focus after 12 years, said in a statement: “I am definitely excited, a little bit worried, mostly terrified and a small part of me is considering going into hiding!
“My kids have only ever asked me to go on two shows… Saturday Mash Up and Strictly. I did Saturday Mash Up this summer so… it’s time to embrace the sequins.”
