    He opened up on the show about an awkward blunder which saw him confirm the news before he quickly deleted his post on X.

    Les had created a playlist of his ideal Strictly songs, with the playlist titled Strictly – Les Dennis, and when emailing it to his management, it was posted online, but swiftly removed.

    He explained that his Strictly co-star will need to come on tour with him while he's performing on 42nd street instead of the normal rehearsals in the studio.

    The latest Strictly contestant will join Annabel Croft, Nigel Harman, Bobby Brazier, Jody Cundy CBE, Ellie Leach, Nikita Kanda, Adam Thomas, Zara McDermott, Angela Scanlon, Eddie Kadi, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Amanda Abbington, Angela Rippon and Layton Williams.
