Strictly Come Dancing ‘fix' row after Dani Dyer claimed she was a ‘qualified dancer' in unearthed revelation
She previously revealed her prior dancing experience and forgotten connection to the show DAN THIS BEFORE Strictly Come Dancing 'fix' row after Dani Dyer claimed she was a 'qualified dancer' in unearthed revelation Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) STRICTLY Come Dancing could be embroiled in a new 'fix' row after Dani Dyer claimed she was a 'qualified dancer'. Dani Dyer was the second celebrity contestant confirmed for Strictly Come Dancing 2025, with the announcment being made on The One Show earlier this week. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Dani Dyer was announced as the second celebrity to be taking part in this year's Strictly Come Dancing Credit: PA 6 Dani won Love Island alongside Jack Fincham in 2018 Credit: ITV 6 Dani is the daughter of actor Danny Dyer Credit: BBC 6 Dani previously spoke about her dancing experience in her 2019 book Dani, 29, shot to fame when she won Love Island in 2018 - with her new reality stint very different to the dating show. The daughter of EastEnders actor Danny Dyer will waltz her way around the ballroom in September when she joins the cast of the hit series. But now it has been revealed that in an unearthed passage from her autobiography, Dani boasted about being a "qualified dancer". She said in her 2019 book that she would put "qualified dancer" under the list of qualifications on her CV. Writing in her book, which came out six years ago, Dani wrote about how she went to theatre school at weekends from the age of 2 to 14. "It was called O'Farrell's Stage School and I was a really good little dancer," she said. Dani added: "I'm not a bad singer but it was the dance stuff I loved more - jazz, tap, ballet, modern. I'd get home and prance around the house." Elsewhere in the book she writes up a mock CV where she states her qualifications include: "Qualified dancer and pretty good at singing (especially Dua Lipa or Ariana Grande at the top of her voice while cleaning the kitchen)." 'I'D BE HAPPY TO BE WHISKED AROUND' She also spoke about Strictly in her book, saying how she would jump at the chance of being asked to compete on the hit reality dancing competition. "If Strictly Come Dancing want to give me a call I'd also be happy to be whisked around the dance floor," she penned at the time. Strictly reveals the next two celebrities joining the 2025 series on The Scott Mills BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show At the time of her book coming out, Dani was all loved up with then-beau Jack Fincham, and she said of Strictly: "The only thing I'd be worried about would be the curse." In her book from several years ago, Dani also swooned about her bond with Shirley Ballas. Bonding with her on a trek for Comic Relief, Dani said she was "just the most graceful, lovely person". But despite admitting her prior dance experience, fans are still excited to see Dani storm the ballroom. 6 Fans are excited for Dani to waltz her way onto the dance floor next month Credit: Instagram/danidyerxx 6 Dani will star alongside big names like La Voix, George Clarke and Ellie Goldstein in this year's series of Strictly Credit: Mark Hayman - Commissioned by The Sun Reacting to the news of Dani being confirmed for the series, one person on X said: "Woooo I love Dani!!!" "Whoop I love Dani! She'll be awesome," penned a second. The Sun has contacted Strictly for comment but they did not immediately respond. SHOWBIZ BACKGROUND SCRUTINY Dani is not the only star in Strictly history to have had their background in the world of showbiz scrutinised. Tasha Ghouri, also from Love Island, had her background in dance. The star who appeared on the series last year faced a backlash for being a trained dancer and branded the show a "fix" because they signed her up. Actress Sarah Hadland and JLS' JB Gill were also accused of having advantages on the show because of their backgrounds and prior careers. But despite all of their experience, nor Tasha, Sarah or JB won the show. STRICTLY 2025 LINE UP SO FAR Gladiator Nitro's signing for Strictly was shortly followed by the announcement of three more contestants - Love Island star Dani, Doctor Who actress Alex Kingston and former footballer Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink were then revealed. EastEnders star Balvinder Sopal, who plays the role of Suki Panesar in the hit soap, was then confirmed on Tuesday morning. With YouTuber George Clarke unveiled on Tuesday afternoon on BBC Radio 1. Model Ellie Goldstein, who has Down syndrome, was then the seventh celebrity revealed to be waltzing their way onto the dance floor next month, in the groundbreaking signing. RuPaul's Drag Race UK star La Voix was then the next confirmed star to be announced. And former England rugby union player and captain Chris Robshaw has also been confirmed this week.
