Strictly Come Dancing star John Whaite has said that he hopes the presence of same-sex pairings on the show will give young viewers “a little bit of hope for the future”.
Strictly Come Dancing begins on BBC One on 18 September.
Former Great British Bake Off winner Whaite said that the reaction to his Strictly role has been “so positive”.
I hope that this is going to break down that notion of toxic masculinity, especially in Britain.
