BBC bosses are considering a unique twist for the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing by signing a contestant from the hit reality show The Traitors. This move would bring a fresh dynamic to the long-running dance competition, which typically features celebrities from various fields.
Sources suggest that producers are eyeing either runner-up Mollie Pearce or winner Harry Clark, with an outside chance of Paul Gorton also being considered. The Traitors, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, who also co-hosts Strictly, presents an opportunity to boost the show’s popularity and create a unique tie-in.
Mollie Pearce’s potential appearance would be a significant moment for inclusion, as she would represent people with disabilities. However, the final decision rests on her being chosen over her rivals, Paul and Harry, as the Strictly contestants are yet to be confirmed.
The upcoming season of Strictly Come Dancing is rumored to include a diverse range of celebrities, such as Olympic cyclist Laura Kenny, Gladiators’ Nitro, boxer and Love Island alum Tommy Fury, and actor Dominic West.
