Strictly Come Dancing fans are 'manifesting' for one specific professional dancer to finally getting their winning moment on the show.

There's just a few more months to go until the BBC One dance contest will be back for another year, but details about the 2025 series are still few and far between.

While fans need to wait a bit longer the line-up to be revealed, it was announced earlier this year which of the pros would be returning to the ballroom this year.

For the upcoming series, professional dancers Dianne, Nadiya Bychkova, Amy Dowden, Karen Hauer, Katya Jones, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Gorka Marquez and Luba Mushtuk will 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.

And when the line-up was confirmed in April, it was also revealed that two brand new professional dancers will be making their debut, with them set to be revealed closer to the return of the show. 

 

Sarah James, Executive Producer, BBC Studios said: "The excitement is already building ahead of the new series and in addition to welcoming back our fantastic returning Pros, we are looking forward to welcoming two brand new Professional Dancers to the line up who will help bring another unforgettable series of dazzling dance and loads more besides to viewers later in 2025."

As mentioned, there are currently no celebrities confirmed for the next series, but fans think it's time one pro lifts the Glitterball trophy after they were seening winning in another sport last weekend.

Gorka Marquez was earlier this yea announced that as jining the World XI as a player as the "world's biggest celebrity football match" returned for 2025, Soccer Aid for UNICEF.

The latest match at Old Trafford, which sees an England team take on Soccer Aid World XI side, with former professionals and celebrities making up the teams, was a sell-out as thousands of fans packed into the "Theatre of Dreams" to watch the stars in action.

While England looked keen for a back-to-back win after lifting the trophy last year at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge, the latest game ended with a 5-4 win for the Soccer Aid World XI team, with the final goal being scored by rapper and TV chef Big Zuu. 

Gorka was among those on the World XI side celebrating as they lifted the Soccer Aid trophy, just after singer Robbie confirmed more than £15 million had been raised for UNICEF.

Following the win,@scddevereaux commented on a video of Gorka receiving his medal and being part of the trophy life: "He finally won something [red heart emoji]," before adding: "Sorry that’s mean, it’ll be the glitterball next Gorks."

@lucymaygoodwin replied: "I laughed so hard at this. So real! Manifesting it been the glitterball next." @1989Suggwell shared: "Manifesting the glitterball for him soon." @canigetitjames added between candle emojis: "and he’ll get the glitterball this year."
