Reality TV personality Vicky Pattison is announced as a part of the Strictly cast
Vicky Pattison, a popular TV presenter, author, podcast, and radio host, has been confirmed as the eleventh celebrity contestant for Strictly Come Dancing 2025. Known for her reality TV stints, Pattison is stepping out of her comfort zone and challenging herself in a new way, as she has no publicly documented professional dance experience or formal training history related to dance or ballroom disciplines.
Joining Pattison in the line-up for Strictly Come Dancing 2025 is Tom Skinner, a former star of The Apprentice and a well-known social media personality. Skinner, who has no prior dancing experience beyond wedding dances, expressed his excitement about joining the popular dance competition. He recently made headlines for befriending President Donald Trump's number two on the social media platform X.
Recently, Skinner shared that he had received "death threats" and "vile comments about my children" following a series of social media posts. However, the nature or context of these alleged threats were not provided in the article, and no information was given about any potential impact on his participation in Strictly Come Dancing 2025.
In some of his posts, Skinner stated that it is "not far-right" to be "flying your flag and loving your country." He also complained about the city of London, saying it is "hostile" and "tense."
Vice President JD Vance replied to one of Skinner's posts with a picture of a cartoon character and a message of support. However, no further details about their meeting were provided in the article.
As Strictly Come Dancing 2025 is set to begin next month, Pattison and Skinner will join Dani Dyer-Bowen, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, and Ellie Goldstein in the competition. Pattison expressed hope that she will not make a fool of herself during the show, while Skinner remains optimistic despite his lack of dance experience.
