BBC Strictly Come Dancing’s male professional dancers are all vying to be paired with a specific female celebrity for the upcoming series, as reported by Wales Online. Love Island star Tasha Ghouri recently joined the line-up of Strictly Come Dancing 2023, sparking interest from the male pros who are eager to partner with her. Tasha, who gained fame as Love Island’s first deaf contestant and finished fourth on the show with partner Andrew Le Page, brings a mix of reality TV stardom, modelling experience, and podcast hosting to the dance competition.
With her impressive dance background, Tasha is considered a top contender by the male dancers for winning the upcoming series. Despite some controversy regarding celebrities with dance experience participating in the show, Tasha addressed criticisms on social media, highlighting that she has not been actively dancing in recent years and is now focused on a different profession. She acknowledged the challenge of adapting to Strictly’s dance styles, expressing excitement for the new opportunity.
Tasha’s excitement about joining Strictly Come Dancing was palpable as she shared her childhood dream come true of being part of the show. The BBC recently announced a format change for the show’s 20th series, introducing live signing to enhance accessibility, along with featuring a documentary by former Strictly champion Rose Ayling-Ellis, the show’s first deaf contestant. The addition of live signing, audio description, and subtitling aims to make the show more inclusive to a wider audience.
Strictly Come Dancing is scheduled to return in September on BBC One, with Tasha Ghouri set to bring her dance skills and captivating presence to the dance floor. The anticipation continues to build as fans eagerly await the start of the new series, which promises to be an exciting blend of talent, entertainment, and inclusivity for all viewers.
