So after a long wait, Strictly Come Dancing is now officially underway for another year and one of the celeb contestants who has sparked the most curiosity is Tyler West.
While he of course is well know to radio listeners, a few eyebrows were raised when Tyler was announced to be on the Strictly line-up back in August. Millions of viewers for their first look at him on Friday, September 23 when the delayed launch show finally aired on BBc One.
Unlike series gone by, there was to be no big partner reveal for the celebs on the night, with Tess Daly introducing VTs of them being introduced to their pro dancers at different locations around the country.

They got a first proper chance to impress the judges last Saturday night, receiving positive comments for their routine to Harry Styles' Falling, as some fans predicted Tyler could be 'one to watch.'
Who is Tyler West on Strictly?
Tyler is a presenter, who started out on TV, but is now known for taking to the airwaves as a radio host.
