Strictly Come Dancing has just announced its next Christmas star, and it’s great news for professional dancer Carlos Guzo. Carlos missed out on a celebrity partner during the current series, so this opportunity is a big win for him. The latest addition to the 2024 Christmas line-up is Vogue Williams, who will be dancing alongside Carlos.
Vogue, who is 39 years old, expressed her excitement about joining the Strictly family. She acknowledged that Carlos may have a tough time turning her into a good dancer, but she is determined to give it her all. The Christmas Special will feature six couples competing with their festive routines to impress the judges and the audience. The anticipation for who will take home the coveted Christmas trophy is high.
With the likes of Vogue, RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Tayce, and comedian Josh Widdicombe already confirmed for the Christmas Special, fans are eagerly waiting for the rest of the festive cast to be revealed. The announcement of Vogue joining the show is particularly good news for Carlos, as he gets another shot at showcasing his dancing skills on a big stage.
Meanwhile, on a recent episode of Lorraine, professional dancer Amy Dowden expressed her disappointment at having to leave the competition early due to a foot injury. Amy, who is 34 years old, returned to Strictly this year after undergoing treatment for breast cancer. She mentioned that making it to Blackpool is a special milestone for all the dancing duos, and she was sad to miss out on the opportunity to perform there.
Although Amy won’t be dancing in the Blackpool special this weekend, she is excited for her former partner JB Gill and his new partner Lauren Oakley. Amy praised JB’s talent and hinted that there are some fantastic numbers lined up for the upcoming episodes. The quickstep performance, in particular, is expected to impress the judges and audience alike.
Fans of Strictly Come Dancing can look forward to the Christmas special airing on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Christmas Day. The regular series of Strictly continues on Saturday, November 16th, with a special evening from the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom. The results show will follow on Sunday, November 17th, giving viewers plenty of exciting dance performances to enjoy.
