It's official - a BBC comedian is the latest celebrity hoping to impress the judges on the dancefloor during the 21st series of Strictly Come Dancing which is now just weeks away
With just weeks left to go until Strictly Come Dancing returns to our screens, the fifth star hoping to scoop the glitter ball trophy has been revealed to be Eddie Kadi.
Speaking about his participation in the show, Eddie said: “WOW. Anyone who knows me, understands that music and dance is so important and central to who I am." Interestingly, Angela Rippon's participation also sees her break a brand new Strictly record, as she is 78 years old - the oldest star to ever compete in the series.
She added: “The serious reason behind doing it is because I’ve been advocating ever since I did a series called How To Stay Young with Chris van Tulleken where we demonstrated as part of the programme that dance is the complete full mind and body exercise for everybody, regardless of your age, but particularly for people as they get older.”
