Summer might have only just arrived, but Strictly fans already have their minds set on who could be competing for the glitter ball trophy this autumn.
One rumoured contestant thought to be joining the line-up is Vicky Pattison. The TV personality is thought to have attracted the attention of the show's producers when she supported Pete Wicks from the audience during last year's series. The bosses were said to be so impressed that they now want to make her part of the next line-up.
A source told The Sun: 'Vicky loved watching Pete on the series and was in awe of the detail that goes into every performance. She has great energy and will no doubt be a hit with the viewers. Vicky's done plenty of reality shows but is ready to be out of her comfort zone on the dance floor.'
Vicky originally rose to fame on Geordie Shore, where she became well loved for her outspoken personality and dramatic romances. In 2015, Vicky took part in I'm A Celebrity, where she was crowned Queen Of The Jungle. In a 2022 interview with The Metro, Vicky opened up about how her time in the jungle changed her.
'My time spent in I'm A Celeb was completely pivotal for me, not just professionally, I'll never be able to express how grateful I am,' she told the outlet. 'Personally, it allowed us to see the person I could be, you know? When everyone tells you you're a certain thing – drunk, loud, aggressive – you hear these things enough to start to believe them and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I was becoming a very lost, sad caricature. It was really nice and I'll always be grateful and always be a little bit jealous when everyone else gets to go.'
Alongside her TV credentials, Vicky has been outspoken about her battle with [Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder {href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/life/in-the-news/vicky-pattinson-pmdd/' }), a debilitating condition which causes severe emotional and physical symptoms in the weeks leading up to a period.
This isn't the first time that Vicky has been linked to Strictly. In an interview with The Sun last year, Vicky addressed the possibility of her taking part in the show. 'Like when I found out Pete was doing it, the first thing I did was ring him and see if he was OK. Because me and him are more like stand in the corner, drink and have a laugh than you know, centre of the dance floor people. And he was saying he was really nervous, and I think that's how I'll be,' she said.
She continued 'But sometimes, I just like my comfort zone and especially now I'm about to get married and everything like, I don't know, I don't know if I ever would. I don't know if it's for me, but like never say never.'
As for the other Strictly line up rumours, it's also been reported that bosses are eyeing up Queen Camilla's son Tom Parker Bowles, Georgia Toffolo and The Apprentice's Thomas Skinner for the show.
Another rumoured star set to be taking part is Stacey Solomon, who hasn't ruled out the glitter ball before. She previously told the Metro: 'I would never say never but I am a terrible dancer, an absolutely terrible dancer! I don't know why but I have no rhythm when it comes to movement. I have rhythm with singing or listening to music but when it comes to moving my feet I am left-footed, I have two left feet!,' adding 'But I am obsessed with it, I'm obsessed with the costumes. And also I would love to learn a new skill like that. I love learning anything to be honest.'
