Strictly Come Dancing is set to break its own rule on contestant selection ahead of the announcement of the first celeb competitor. During a segment on Wednesday morning’s Good Morning Britain, entertainment reporter Scarlette Douglas, 36, discussed rumours of this year's Strictly Come Dancing line up.
As reported by Yorkshire Live, Scarlette said: “It is that time of year and the Strictly rumours start.” Former Love Island contest Zara McDermott, 26, is thought to be the first Strictly celeb that will be confirmed as taking part in this year’s competition.
Scarlette explained why this would potentially be a controversial booking for the show. “Strictly is breaking their own rules.” Scarlette said: “Strictly used to have a ban on ‘structured reality’ stars.”
