'Strictly Come Dancing' 2021 line up
All fifteen celebrities are busy training for the 2021 series, with a musician, breakfast presenter, actor, chef, and comedian being just some of the professions making the line-up.
Here's the full line-up for Strictly 2021...
Tom Fletcher - out 8th
McFly musician and best-selling children's author Tom has been paired with professional dancer Amy Dowden.
Tom has got a lot to live up to, not only did his bandmate Harry Judd win the 2011 series of Strictly Come Dancing, but Tom's wife, Giovanna Fletcher, is also the current queen of the jungle after winning the 2020 series of I'm A Celebrity - no pressure then!
Speaking about his new adventure on Strictly, Tom said: "I think the fact that I’m actually going to be dancing on Strictly this year has only just started to sink in while I’m writing this! I’m incredibly excited, of course, but also totally terrified! My kids were excited too until I started showing them my best dad-dancing in the kitchen. I’m not sure how far they’ll get me in the competition but I can’t wait to add some new moves to my embarrassing dad-dancing repertoire."
Rose Ayling-Ellis
EastEnders star Rose Ayling-Ellis has been paired with professional dancer Giovanni Pernice.
Rose joined EastEnders last year as Mick Carter's (Danny Dyer) secret daughter and has been at the centre of Walford drama ever since.
It was announced on the EastEnders Twitter feed that Rose would be joining this year's Strictly line up, making history as the first deaf contestant to take part. Rose, who is the first deaf actor to play a deaf character, said of her Strictly adventure: "To be the first deaf contestant on Strictly Come Dancing is sooooo exciting.. and a little bit scary.
"It is the hardest secret I have ever had to keep so it feels amazing to finally have this out in the open! I hope I will do the deaf community proud and break down more barriers. But I am also very excited to learn an incredible new skill and even better I get to learn whilst wearing beautiful dresses made especially for me!"
Rose is currently the favourite to win, having wowed the judges during Halloween week and receiving a perfect score of 40.
Robert Webb - left due to ill health
Comedian and Peep Show star Robert Webb, who was paired with Strictly pro Dianne Buswell, has sadly announced he is leaving the show due to ill health. In a statement released on Wednesday 13th October, Robert said: “Two years ago I had open-heart surgery and although I believed I was fit enough to take on Strictly and its demanding schedule, it became clear that I had bitten off way more than I could chew for this stage in my recovery. I had begun to feel symptoms that led me to seek an urgent consultation with my heart specialist, and it was her view that it would be better for the sake of my health to step back from the show."
Before joining the show, Robert said his main aim in Strictly is to avoid injury! "I am ludicrously excited to be taking part in Strictly this year. It’s a big, generous, joyful show and I can’t wait to get packed into a spandex onesie and fired from a glitter cannon directly at Claudia Winkleman. At least I think that’s what happens.
"My goal is to try and survive from week to week without causing serious injury to myself or innocent bystanders. I know it’s going to be a challenge. To do well in this competition is a test of character, although mainly it’s a test of dancing."
Sara Davies - out 7th
Dragon's Den star Sara has been paired with professional dancer Aljaz Skorjanec.
Sara said: "My mam and dad are going to be so excited. I’m really nervous because so far the producers keep asking me if I can dance. Truth be told – I haven’t got a clue! I’ve not danced since I did ballet lessons when I was little.
"The business world has taught me that tenacity, drive and determination deliver results, I hope that I can bring that to the dancefloor. And I’m excited to see the impact of all those hours of training on my mum tum!"
Rhys Stephenson
Rhys is a children's TV presenter and has been partnered up with professional dancer Nancy Xu.
Rhys is best known for hosting live from CBBC studio HQ, and has worked on programmes such as Blue Peter and Saturday Mash-Up.
Speaking of joining Strictly, Rhys said: “I am BUZZING to be a part of Strictly Come Dancing 2021. I have dreamt about being on this show, and I know for a fact that it is going to exceed every expectation. I cannot wait to experience it all: the costumes, the orchestra, even Craig’s glare! I am READY!”
Dan Walker - out 10th
BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker has been matched with professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova.
Dan isn't optimistic about his chances on the dancefloor, admitting: "I'm one of those people, I've danced at three weddings, two school discos.
"I'm enjoying the experience of actually being able to learn to dance, have a bit of fun... we'll see what happens. I'm not making any room on our shelves in our house for the Glitterball."
Katie McGlynn - out second
Actress Katie McGlynn was paired with professional dancer Gorka Marquez and became the second celebrity to be sent home after being in her second dance-off, this time against Judi Love.
Katie, who is best known for her roles as Sinead Tinker in Coronation Street, and Diane's friend Becky in Hollyoaks said: "I'm nervous to see what people are going to think, because I'm not a dancer. I've always admired dancers, they're incredible at what they do. I think secretly I've always wanted to be one."
She added: "It's been so hard keeping it a secret, but I can finally say that I'm getting ready to shake my shimmy and become part of the Strictly family! I'm so excited to learn a new skill on this crazy journey and cannot wait to slip into some sequins along the way.
"Although I do get to have so much fun as an actress, a lot of my roles have involved quite serious and challenging storylines, so I'm fully ready to let my hair down and do something different, even if it is completely outside of my comfort zone."
Tilly Ramsay - out 9th
Tilly Ramsay has been partnered up with professional partner Nikita Kuzmin.
Tilly is known for her work on CBBC food show Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch and published a spin-off cookbook called Tilly’s Kitchen Takeover following the success of the children's TV programme.

I’m going to put my heart and soul into this and can’t wait to get my dancing shoes on and show my Dad how it’s really done! Bring on the glitz, glamour and sequins!”
AJ Odudu - retired before final due to injury
AJ Odudu has been partnered with new professional dancer Kai Widdrington.
Speaking about joining the Strictly line up, TV presenter AJ said: "I am beyond chuffed that I am going to be on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing and I'm so glad I can finally tell my mum. Her face will be a picture, she’s going to be over the moon! I absolutely love the show and am fully committed to making the most of every second of the Strictly experience. Bring it on!"
John Whaite
TV chef and author John Whaite is part of Strictly's first-ever all-male partnership with professional dancer Johannes Radebe.
John became a household name when he won the third series of The Great British Bake Off.
John said: “I’m so grateful, excited, and nervous to be joining the Strictly 2021 family. I’ve been wearing sequins and jazzy attire since I was three years old and can’t wait to hurl myself, full throttle, around the most glamorous dance floor on earth.
John will be competing alongside a male dancer, who has not yet been confirmed, and added that he was looking forward to being part of the first all-male duo. He added: "What’s more exciting for me, is that I’m going to be one half of the first all-male partnership, which is a great step forward in representation and inclusion. Whoever it is I’m paired with, I hope they are up for a challenge as I want our routines to include lots of spectacular lifts!"

Greg has revealed a sentimental reason for him wanting to join the dancing competition. He revealed: "My beautiful sister was a huge disco queen. She left our world almost exactly 5 years ago in a glitter ball coffin. This is for her. My gorgeous Diva sis, who would have been insane with excitement that her little bro was doing this. I will channel her, as her bro can’t dance - but I’m thrilled to be dipping my toes, knees, hips and arms into this wonderful world, and hope to make her proud, and obviously make her laugh..."
Nina Wadia - out first
Former EastEnders star Nina Wadia was partnered with Strictly pro Neil Jones, however, the pair left in week one after ending up in the dance-off against Katie and Gorka.
The fact Nina would be joining the lineup was confirmed on Lorraine, where stand-in host Christine Lampard announced that Nadia would be taking part in this year's series. When asked if she liked dancing, Nadia said: "I am so scared... I like dancing like no one is watching, so we just need to blindfold the judges and I will win.
She added: "I think I should do this before I am too old and I can't walk anymore. I think this is the last year I am ever wearing heels. A lot has happened in the last couple of years and I just wanna grab life by the balls and enjoy it!"
Adam Peaty - out seventh
Adam Peaty is an Olympic, World, European, and Commonwealth British swimming champion and has been partnered with Katya Jones.
Confirming the news in a statement, Adam said: "I think this will come as a surprise to a lot of people, but I’m so excited to finally share the news that I’ll be joining Strictly this year. I’m really looking forward to doing something totally different and challenging myself away from the pool. I’m hoping my competitive nature is going to compensate for my dancing abilities!"

"I’m truly looking forward to pushing myself in something that I could have only dreamed of doing and now it’s actually coming true!! I can’t lie I’m soooo nervous but excited at the same time!!"

Who are the 'Strictly Come Dancing' 2021 judges?
Shirley Ballas is back as head judge with Motsi Mabuse and Craig Revel Horwood joining her on the panel for another series of the dancing competition.
Strictly has also confirmed that Anton Du Beke will join the judging panel again, after a two-week stint during the 2020 series. This decision was made after international travel is still uncertain, meaning Bruno may not be able to head to the UK for judging duties.
Who are the 'Strictly Come Dancing' 2021 professional dancers?
The 2021 professional lineup sees Aljaž Škorjanec, Amy Dowden, Anton Du Beke, Dianne Buswell, Giovanni Pernice, Gorka Marquez, Graziano Di Prima, Johannes Radebe, Karen Hauer, Katya Jones, Luba Mushtuk, Nadiya Bychkova, Nancy Xu and Neil Jones all returning to the show.
Oti Mabuse will also be returning in a bid to defend her Strictly champion title after becoming the first dancer in the show's history to win two consecutive series. She won in 2019 with actor Kelvin Fletcher, and then won Strictly 2020 with Bill Bailey!
However, the professional dancer has revealed that Strictly 2021 could be her last year. She told telegraph.co.uk: "I love to dance and love bringing joy to so many people, but I think Strictly 2021 will be the last. Honestly, as a woman I can't be dancing forever."
Sarah James, Executive Producer of BBC Studios, says: "We are so thrilled to be welcoming back our incredible line-up of professional dancers for 2021.
"Their passion and dedication for Strictly shone through more than ever last year as they all sacrificed so much to deliver an unforgettable series during unprecedented and challenging times.
"With so much talent returning to the ballroom, the 2021 series promises more show-stopping choreography, memorable performances, and world-class dancing."
We now know that the regular line-up will be joined by four brand-new faces on the Strictly dance floor this year. Dancing with the Stars Ireland pro Kai Widdrington, six-time Italian Latin and Ballroom Champion Nikita Kuzmin, reigning South African Latin champion Cameron Lombard, and Jowita Przystal, winner of BBC1's The Greatest Dancer will all be taking to the floor when the show returns!
Will the series be filmed in the Blackpool Tower ballroom?
Sadly not, as it was recently confirmed the dancers wouldn't be travelling to Strictly Come Dancing's iconic home this year due to the pandemic. Confirming the news, Executive producer Sarah James told The Mirror: “We are all so sad that we won’t be able to get to Blackpool this year but can’t wait to be back dancing at the one and only Blackpool Tower Ballroom in the future.”
Instead, the professional dancers will again isolate together in a hotel near the Hertfordshire studio, where the new series will be filmed.
'It Takes Two' presenters
In a shake up on Strictly Come Dancing spin off show It Takes Two, the legendary Zoe Ball has left her presenting role after ten years and now professional Strictly dancer Janette Manrara has hung up her dancing shoes as she joins Rylan Clark-Neal on the sofa. Because of her new presenting role, it means Janette won't be dancing on Strictly Come Dancing 2021, however she has promised that she will continue with her passion. She told the BBC: "I am still going to be seeing my fellow pros all the time and I will keep dancing, as they say."
Zoe Ball announced her departure from the show last month with a post on her social media pages. She said: "Dancer lovers, after 10 joyous years I am walking away from It Takes Two. As a massive @bbcstrictly fan I have loved spending my Autumn teatimes with the celebrity dancers, the gorgeous and awesome pro dancers, the judges, my girl Vicky Gill, Rylan, Gethin and of course my main man Ian Waite. Time now for some new cha cha challenges."
Who won the last series of 'Strictly Come Dancing'?
Strictly Come Dancing 2020 was a huge hit, giving fans some much-needed escapism and entertainment on their Saturday night.
The final saw EastEnders star Maisie Smith, comedian Bill Bailey, Made in Chelsea's Jaime Laing and singer HRVY all battle it out over the glitterball trophy.
In the end it was Bill Bailey and his dance partner Oti Mabuse who were crowned winners, making Oti the first Strictly professional dancer to win two years in a row.
We will update this article as and when new information is released about Strictly Come Dancing 2021.
Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC1 from Saturday 18 September at 7.45pm.
