STRICTLY fans think they’ve worked out this year’s winner – days before the series launch.
The 20th anniversary series of Strictly Come Dancing will kick off this weekend and 15 new celebrities will compete to lift the Glitterball trophy.
One of the famous faces taking part is singer and actor Shayne Ward.
And the X Factor winner, 39, took to Instagram to give his followers a sneak peek at his moves.
In the clip Shayne was seen dancing around his kitchen as he cooked up a storm.
Fans rushed to comment – with many predicting the former Coronation Street star will win the show.
One wrote: “And the winner of strictly 2024 is ….gonna be you.”
Another said: “good luck with strictly looks like u have the moves to win!!”
And a third added: “Loving the moves @shaynetward.”
Other celebrities taking part in this year’s show include EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick, Love Island‘s Tasha Ghouri, former Towie star Pete Wicks and Olypmian Sam Quek.
JLS singer JB Gill, opera star Wynne Evans, TV doctor Punam Krishan, Gladiatror Montell Douglas and actress Sarah Hadland will also be taking part.
Completing the line-up are comedian Chris McCausland, presenter Nick Knowles, Team GB athlete Tom Dean, ex-footballer Paul Merson and singer Toyah Willcox.
Last night Strictly picked up the Talent Show gong at the National Television Awards – despite a year of scandal and serious allegations.
Giovanni Pernice has been under investigation from the BBC after complaints from Amanda Abbington while Graziano Di Prima was axed after admitting to kicking Zara McDermott in rehearsals.
Presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman we among those who collected Strictly’s award – and Claudia failed to mention the professional dancers in her speech.
Speaking to the audience at London’s O2 Arena, Claudia said: “We just want to say a massive thank you to the most wonderful team who make Strictly, the brilliant celebrities who take part – thank you so much.
“Thank you to the BBC and BBC Studios. This means everything, we’re so grateful.”
