Strictly Come Dancing announces Geordie Shore legend Vicky Patterson as 11th star

Vicky Pattison has signed up for Strictly Come Dancing. The TV star, who is best known for starring on Geordie Shore in the 2010s, will now be joining the line-up of this year's edition of the Saturday night favourite and has become the 11th celebrity to join the ranks, but is not feeling too confident about her skills on the dancefloor.

Speaking to Emma Willis and Craig Doyle on This Morning, she said: "I wanted to be really graceful! I don't have high hopes for my dancing!"

Olympic sprinter and Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey was the first contestant confirmed for the 2025 line-up earlier on Monday. Harry, known as Nitro on the rebooted Gladiators, previously competed in last year’s Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special and described his decision to return as "so nice I just had to do it twice"
