Death In Paradise actor Ralf Little has also been said to be potentially joining the lineup, however the line up has not yet been confirmed by the BBC.
A BBC Spokesperson said: “The celebrity contestants for this series will be announced in due course.” The alleged line up comes as Strictly has been thrown into chaos as two professionals left the show.
Amanda Abbington made allegations about Giovanni Pernice’s training techniques last year. In January, it was reported that the actress requested footage of the duo’s ‘tense’ training sessions, leading to a misconduct investigation.
Laura Whitmore, Richie Anderson, Debbie McGee, Ranvir Singh and EastEnders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis are all said to have agreed to be interviewed as part of the investigation. Giovanni has vehemently denied the accusations.
Strictly pro Graziano Di Prima was axed from the series after producers were made aware of footage showing the dancing kicking his celebrity partner Zara McDermott. Speaking to the Mirror, his family slammed the raft of accusations as a “feeding frenzy” and said Graziano has been left “unable to defend himself”.They revealed: “Graziano is currently under medical supervision, with the stress of the situation causing significant concern for his family, who are monitoring him hourly. The unrelenting feeding frenzy over these accusations and his mental state leaves him at this time unable to defend himself.”
