Strictly Come Dancing lineup 2021 – Show in CHAOS as filming stopped due to covid after Dan Walker named new contestant
STRICTLY Come Dancing BBC Breakfast's Dan Walker as this year's eighth contestants. His BBC co-host Louise Minchin left open-mouthed when Dan appeared via video link to share his secret having had no idea the announcement was happening, exclaiming: "There's nothing in the running order!" She was confused as she watched a video teasing the new contestant, and when Dan appeared on screen she shrieked: "I don't believe it - Mr Walker! Oh wow, congratulations!" Louise went on: "What I'm really annoyed about is nobody's told me anything, Dan - I should have guessed, I can't believe it!" Dan was incredibly apologetic - insisting he'd only told "a small circle", and his kids only found out at the weekend.
