With less than a month to go until Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One, the show has announced EastEnders star James Bye as the 14th contestant vying for the coveted glitterball.
Following a string of announcements in recent days, the actor famous for playing Albert Square’s Martin Fowler has now also been revealed to be taking part in the upcoming 20th series. Bye, who has three children with wife Victoria, said: “I’m not known for my shimmy or my twinkle toes – in fact my kids regularly laugh at my dad dancing – but it’s an honour to be asked and I’m going to give it my best shot.
