Former professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing Anton Du Beke stepped into the judge's shoes on the dancing competition in 2021, taking over from Bruno Tonioli and fast became a hit with fans of the show. But the dancer still isn't sure what his role will be in this year's series, due to air in the autumn.
Anton joined Strictly when the show began in 2004 and remained as a professional dancer, with some iconic moments like being partnered with Anne Widdecombe, until 2021. In 2021 he judged the show for the first time, as Bruno was unable to return to the UK due to travel restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
He has now told The Mirror that he has not been given an answer about returning as a judge for the show and is still waiting to find out. He said: "I'm hoping to get a call to say, 'Look, here you go, come back judging please'. But we'll wait and see. I'd like to think I'd be on the show in one way or another."
