Strictly Come Dancing 2025: Emilia Fox Hints at Participation

Speculation surrounding the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing is intensifying as fans eagerly await the announcement of this year’s contestants. While the BBC has confirmed the return of the professional dancers, the full celebrity line-up remains unverified. Notably, Emilia Fox, known for her role in the forensic drama Silent Witness, has expressed interest in joining the competition.

In a recent interview with Richard Eden from the Daily Mail, the 50-year-old actress shared her enthusiasm for reality television and her admiration for the show. “I really love watching reality TV. I’d love to do Strictly. I’d love the rehearsal process, but the thought of live shows is nerve-racking. I’m not sure I’d be very good at that, but I’d definitely consider it,” Fox remarked.

Fox’s experience on various reality shows, including Celebrity Gogglebox and Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, has made her a familiar face to audiences. Fans of Strictly will have to wait for the official announcement to see if she will indeed take to the dance floor this season.

So far, the rumoured contestants for the 2025 series include well-known personalities such as Stacey Solomon, Dani Dyer, and Paul C Brunson. Despite the anticipation, the BBC has not yet provided a detailed list of celebrity participants.

Returning Professionals Excite Fans

The BBC has confirmed a lineup of professional dancers returning for the new season, including Amy Dowden, Aljaz Skorjanec, and Dianne Buswell. Other familiar faces such as Nikita Kuzmin and Gorka Márquez will also return to the show.

In an Instagram video, dancer Nadiya Bychkova expressed her excitement about rejoining the team, stating, “SO EXCITING!! Thankful to be back on the biggest show on TV. I can’t wait for another spin around the Strictly sun.” She highlighted her passion for dancing and teaching, which resonates with the essence of the show.

The complete roster of professional dancers includes Johannes Radebe, Jowita Przystał, and Katya Jones, among others. This combination of talent promises to deliver another season filled with remarkable performances and unforgettable moments.

As the countdown to the new season begins, fans remain hopeful for more surprises and the eventual reveal of the celebrity contestants. Strictly Come Dancing is set to return to BBC One later this year, and viewers are eagerly anticipating the glitz, glamour, and excitement that the show consistently delivers.
