Strictly Come Dancing fans beg for special celebrity guest to be cast next year

Strictly Come Dancing viewers begged rapper Big Zuu to become a dancer in next year's show.

The celebrities were back to take on the ballroom but right from the top of the show, they made it clear their usual setting would be getting a drastic makeover next week. In just seven days, the dancers will be taking to their heels and journeying up north to Blackpool Tower, a milestone point in the competition.

The excitement was rife as it means they would be one step closer to lifting this year's glitterball trophy. Upstairs, the energy was even greater as a special celebrity guest had the noise levels through the roof.

Rapper Big Zuu was on hand to chat with the celebs after their performance and to also give viewers at home all the information they needed to vote for their favourites. His louder-than-life personality went down a storm with fans as they begged the BBC to cast him in next year's show.

One viewer said: "Big Zuu for the 2023 line up!" Another added: "Get Zuu signed up!"

A third said: "Big Zuu needs to be on Strictly next year." A third said: "Big Zuu... #Strictly you've just made my day."

Big Zuu disappeared as quickly as he arrived but not before Claudia Winkleman too demanded he takes up a spot in next year's cast. The rapper took the comments in his stride, admitting anything could happen and made his exit by screaming the voting details at the top of his lungs.
