Strictly Come Dancing's first celebrity contestant for the upcoming series has reportedly been revealed as rehearsals got underway.
The hit dance show's professionals were all smiles as they rocked up for the first day of rehearsals for the upcoming 2025 run of the dance contest on Monday (July 28).
Ahead of its launch in September, a whole host of familiar faces were pictures as they made their way into the rehearsal studio and they were joined by two new recruits.
Nadiya Byckova, Amy Dowden, Dianne Buswell, Karen Hauer, Katya Jones, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Gorka Marquez and Luba Mushtuk will all take to the floor once more.
They'll also be joined by Jowita Przystal, Johannes Radebe, Aljaž Škorjanec, Kai Widdrington, Nancy Xu, Carlos Gu, Lauren Oakley, Michelle Tsiakkas and Vito Coppola.
It was then ahead of the first day of rehearsals that it was revealed that Alexis Warr and Julian Caillon would be joining the popular show this year, after the BBC revealed earlier this year that they'd be adding two new pros to the line-up.
However, it wasn't just the professional dancers that caught fans eyes as one huge reality TV star was reportedly seen marking their commitment to Strictly, the Mirror reports.
According to onlookers, none other than former Love Island star Dani Dyer was spotted arriving at the BBC's Elstree studios. Naturally, this has sent Strictly fans into overdrive as they believe that mum-of-three Dani, 28, would be the perfect contestant for the long-running BBC dance competition.
Sharing a post to Reddit, one user wrote: "My daughter's a receptionist at Elstree and was super excited that she saw Dani Dyer at the studio yesterday. Something to do with Strictly??"
Someone else replied: "She is rumoured actually! I guess she will be on it, she'll be good." And another Reddit user echoed: "I've heard her name floating around so that would be brill news."
Last month, Dani's name was thrown into the hat as rumours began to circulate about who the stars would be this year. A source told The Sun at the time: "Bosses are thrilled she's agreed to take part and are ironing out her fee.
"She's bubbly, down-to-earth and straight-talking and producers reckon she'll make an ideal contestant - not to mention the bonus of having Jarrod and dad Danny in the audience supporting her."
As for the new pro dancers, Alexis, hailing from the US, triumphed in So You Think You Can Dance in 2022, earning the title of America's Favourite Dancer and becoming the first female Ballroom and Latin dancer to win the accolade.
Meanwhile, Julian, originally from Australia, started dancing at the tender age of 10, focusing on Ballroom and Latin American styles, and has proudly represented Australia in international competitions.
The Mirror has contacted Dani Dyer's representatives and a Strictly Come Dancing spokesperson for comment.
