Strictly star 'confirmed' as they're caught 'sneaking' into studio

Fans think that they have "confirmed" one star's inclusion in the Strictly Come Dancing 2025 celebrity line-up after they spotted them "sneaking in" to the studio. While the professional dancer lineup has been announced by BBC bosses, viewers are still in the dark about which famous faces will be donning their dancing shoes.

However, one fan posted on Reddit: "My daughter's a receptionist at Elstree and was super excited that she saw Dani Dyer at the studio yesterday. Something to do with Strictly??" The fan thought that this could be a major clue to the star being "confirmed" in the 2025 lineup as Elstree Studios has been the longtime home of the Strictly team, with the iconic BBC ballroom based there, as well as chat show It Takes Two and behind-the-scenes offices. However, as another fan pointed out, other ITV shows are also filmed there, including Love Island's Aftersun.

"I think Aftersun is filmed at Elstree so it could possibly be something Love Island related," they replied.

Meanwhile, others were delighted to hear she had been spotted, with one writing: "She is rumoured actually! I guess she will be on it, she'll be good." Another added: "I've heard her name floating around, so that's brilliant news x"

While one suggested that it was too early in the year for the celebs to be at Elstree yet, another fan added: "Actually, last year the celebs did their costume fittings before they were announced, so it's possible she could be at Elstree for that."

The 28-year-old shot to fame after appearing on Love Island in 2018, where she won the competition with her ex-boyfriend Jack Fincham. However, their relationship quickly fell apart just months after the show wrapped up.

She has since gone on to marry West Ham footballer Jarrod Bowen.

Back in June it was widely reported that her name was rumoured to be joining the lineup. A source said: "Bosses are thrilled she's agreed to take part and are ironing out her fee."

They continued: "She's bubbly, down-to-earth and straight-talking and producers reckon she'll make an ideal contestant - not to mention the bonus of having Jarrod and dad Danny in the audience supporting her."

Express.co.uk contacted the BBC but they refused to comment.
