Olympic gold medallist Nicola Adams is the latest to join the Strictly Come Dancing line-up, appearing as part of the series’ first ever same-sex pairing.
In a groundbreaking move for Strictly, Adams will be paired with a female professional dancer in this year’s season.
The series is due to air on BBC One from 24 October with a reduced run of nine weeks instead of the usual 13.
Strictly previously received praise last November when a same-sex routine featuring professional dancers Johannes Radebe and Graziano Di Prima was performed during a results show.
