Angela Scanlon Joins the Line-up for Strictly Come Dancing 2023

Angela Scanlon, an Irish television presenter, has been announced as the sixth celebrity contestant for the 2023 season of BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. Scanlon, known for hosting Your Home Made Perfect and her own chat show Ask Me Anything, expressed her excitement and terror about participating in the show. Despite not being particularly fit and having no dance experience, she felt that the timing was right for her this year. Scanlon also jokingly wondered about the logistics of tanning and the comfort of sequins and flesh-colored sports bras.

Fans React to Amanda Abbington's Inclusion

The news of Scanlon's participation was revealed on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast show. She joins previously announced celebrities Amanda Abbington, Angela Rippon, Layton Williams, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, and Eddie Kadi in the line-up. While fans eagerly awaited the announcement of the celebrity contestants, not all were pleased with Abbington's inclusion. Some viewers took issue with a tweet she made earlier this year and have vowed to boycott the 2023 series. However, others expressed their support for Abbington and wished her luck on the dance floor.

Anticipation Builds for Another Season of Strictly Come Dancing

As the celebrity contestants for Strictly Come Dancing 2023 are gradually revealed, fans of the show are eagerly anticipating another season of dazzling performances and fierce competition. More celebrities are expected to be confirmed in the coming days. The 21st season of the show, along with its companion show Strictly: It Takes Two, will return to the BBC this autumn, bringing joy and entertainment to audiences once again.
