As we keenly anticipate the initial wave of casting reveals, numerous Strictly enthusiasts are convinced they've worked out a 2025 celebrity.
YouTuber, boxer and recording artist KSI, who recently featured as a judge on Britain's Got Talent, mysteriously posted an update to Instagram on Monday (August 4).
"4th August announcement has been postponed. Out of my control, sorry," he posted on his Story, with numerous followers theorising that he could be hinting at a potential Strictly reveal.
"Could KSI be the first contestant announced for Strictly Come Dancing?" one individual pondered on TikTok.
They continued: "He's the best pick for a first announcement... The sheer virality of KSI being announced would be nuts."

Another added: "I definitely see KSI doing it," while a third said: "Why am I imagining KSI potentially on Strictly and pairing with either Dianne or someone like Nancy or Lauren Oakley."
A fourth fan echoed the sentiment, saying: "I've been thinking one of the Sidemen could do Strictly for a few years now and I think KSI could really do it and I don't think he could be that bad tbh."
With the programme launch rapidly approaching, the BBC is maintaining strict secrecy around the contestant line-up.

Iconic Netflix actress looks unrecognisable as she shares throwback snap - but can YOU guess who it is?
An iconic Netflix actress was unrecognisable as she shared a very sweet throwback picture. The Hollywood star , 53, sported a dark blonde bob when pictured as a child in her hometown Barranquilla, Colombia. She captioned the post simply: '#tbt Barranquilla.' These days the power player sports luxuriously glossy long brunette curls and is one of the most highly paid stars on TV. Can you guess who it is? That's right, it's Sofia Vergara. The heart-melting picture comes after the Colombian-American siren revealed she had a second operation on her knee which she had worked on for the first time last year. 'It's done! Round 2 ❤️❤️#knee,' wrote the brunette as she was seen in a gown while in a hospital bed with a patch and brace on her leg. In August 2024, the Modern Family star shared a look at the long scar on her knee after undergoing 'major' surgery. She had on a strapless white dress with her knee propped up as she thanked her 'handsome' doctor boyfriend Dr. Justin Saliman for helping her out; they have since split. 'If u ever get a mayor (sic) knee surgery make sure u Get a handsome doctor who will sleep with u that night!!!!' she wrote in an Instagram story with a picture of her boyfriend standing by her bed. It's unclear how the Netflix star hurt her knee. Meanwhile, Sofiaa finalized her divorce from ex-husband Joe Manganiello, 47, earlier this month. Court papers obtained by Page Six, indicate the dissolution of the Vergara-Manganiello marriage was made in accordance with the pre-nuptial agreement the couple made prior to their November 2015 marriage. The documents indicated he received all of his 'earnings and accumulations' from the date of their separation, July 2, 2023 in addition to his clothing, jewelry and 'miscellaneous personal effects.' The pair noted they never had 'any community property' between them. Sofia's settlement was similar, providing her with her own belonging, jewelry and earnings since the separation. The original reason for the divorce was 'irreconcilable differences' but Vergara later revealed in an interview with El País the fracture was over whether or not to have children. 'My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn't want to be an old mom.' She explained to the outlet, 'I feel it's not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that's not for me anymore. I'm almost in menopause; it's the natural way of things,' she stated. Earlier this month Sofia turned 53. The femme fatale was on vacation at Nammos in Europe with her pals when she celebrated another trip around the sun. She posed in a white bikini as she dug into a colorful cake while surrounded by bouquets of flowers. The post saw the two of them together as he wrote 'happy birthday' over the snapshot. Sofia is single after splitting with Dr Justin Saliman after her Joe Manganiello divorce. Last month Sofia gave an insight into what she's looking for in her next relationship, saying she wants her next boyfriend to be as rich as she is. She admitted that she needs 'fun in [her] life' - but she isn't interested in dating someone who isn't financially independent. Asked what she is looking for in her next relationship, Sofia said on the Today show: 'I want to say the basic stuff, like health and somebody that loves me. And somebody tall, handsome.' 'I want somebody that has as much money as me or more, because if not, it's a nightmare. They end up resenting you.' The Hollywood star - who was married to actor Joe between 2015 and 2024 - shared: 'I've been single now for a year and a half, and I kind of panicked once I got divorced. I was like, "I'm 52, what's gonna happen? Where am I going to find [someone]?"'

Sierra Noelle documented her journey online, and she had a few things to say about our country following her big adventure on Welsh soil. She shared her review with her followers on TikTok, and it's left people pretty stunned, as she didn't hold back. It turns out Wales really does have something for everyone, and she couldn't wait to tell people her thoughts, leaving Welsh people in total awe of her and her words about our country. In the clip, Sierra admitted she hadn't been able to stop thinking about Wales since she returned home. It turns out, it's easy to fall in love with our beloved nation. Sierra said: "I have one more thing to say. I keep looking back at my photos from my trip to Wales, and it physically pains me that I am so far away it, and I don't know when I'm going to go back. "But, guys, Wales is so cool. Everyone is so nice there and it's so pretty. Castles are really cool. Everyone needs to go, but be respectful and don't mess it up and be nice to the sheep." Content cannot be displayed without consent In a previous video, Sierra admitted she fell in love with Wales after visiting for the first time this summer. She's so obsessed with it now that she fears it's become her "entire personality." Sierra said she adored seeing the castles, as this is something you don't get to see or experience in the US. She thinks they're "amazing" to explore. All in all, she visited around eight because she loved them so much. Even though she had a great time, she advised people to get their travel advice from Welsh people if they're planning a visit, as she thinks this will benefit tourists a lot more. She absolutely loved her time exploring, and clearly can't wait to return, even though she may not be able to for a while. Thousands of people have watched her clips since she shared them, and they were quick to comment too. One person replied, saying: "As a Welsh person, this is so lush to see someone talking about Wales, which people don't speak about enough. We have the most castles in any country on earth and also have some of the best beaches. "Also, Welsh people have been voted the friendliest in the UK. I'm so happy you visited and enjoyed." Article continues below Another wrote: "As a Welsh person, I love this. I feel like Wales is so unknown/underrated both in and outside of the UK. Wales is awesome. Glad you enjoyed." A third replied: "As an Aussie who lived in Wales for seven years, I can't recommend Wales enough. The landscape is so amazing and beautiful." Meanwhile, a fourth also commented: "I love hearing people be excited about the so many castles. Taken for granted when you live here. My local castle is Conwy."

Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan reveals new gig with BBC after emotional message following exit from show
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CLARKSON'S Farm favourite Harriet Cowan has bagged a brand new gig with the BBC. The vet captured fans' hearts with her calm and caring presence on Diddly Squat – and now she's swapping muddy fields for a fresh challenge. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Harriet Cowan revealed she's been busy working on Farm Watch Credit: Instagram 5 She also led the social media campaign Farm 24 Credit: Instagram Harriet, 24, joined Jeremy Clarkson at Diddly Squat Farm as Kaleb Cooper's temporary replacement, offering her expertise and displaying her passion for farming. But she left Jezza's farm after Kaleb returned and her work was complete, even though fans pleaded to bring the star back for the next series. Harriet revealed she's been busy working on Farm Watch – a brand new series shining a light on rural life. She even took over BBC Derbyshire's social media last night to give fans a behind-the-scenes peek. They talked about how farmers across the country marked Farm24, an annual event that aims to showcase the best of British farming. People are encouraged to share content about their farming endeavours across social media for 24 hours from 5am to 5am the following day. Harriet, who now boasts over 550,000 followers, led the campaign. Taking to Instagram, she told her followers: "I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone that supported Farm 24 and BBC Farm Watch yesterday. "It was an amazing day that showcased so many farmers and how hard a 24 period on a farm actually is for every single farmer out there. "So a massive, massive thank you. Thank you so much for listening on all things Farm 24 and our BBC Farm Watch radio presenting show last night." Clarkson's Farm's glam farmhand Harriett Cowan's emotional message about farming after exit from show This comes after Harriet shared an emotional message about farming following her exit from the show. In a video, she said: "Farm24 is showcasing to the general public, over a 24-hour period, what a farmer gets up to. "The Government should invest more time and money into farming because we need it. "It's a bit of a dying industry otherwise. "Going forward, I hope that the next generation of farmers will be recognised more by the public and the Government, especially to put British farming on the map and for people to be aware that we are here. "Being part of the community is probably the most rewarding part for me. "You have your neighbours and you're all in tune with each other. "You can talk, and if you're having problems, they'll all be there to help you." Her poignant message comes one month after we told how the farmer was hoping to rake in the cash following her TV fame after setting up her own business. Following her instant fame, she has set up a private company called Farmfluence, incorporated on July 1. PR expert Lynn Carratt has speculated on just how she could earn in the future. Speaking to The Sun, she told us: 'Harriet has around 1.2 million followers across Instagram and TikTok. "If she is savvy she could rake in £500,000 in the next 12 months.' 5 Harriet left Jezza's farm after Kaleb returned to work Credit: Amazon Prime 5 But fans want the star to stay on the show Credit: instagram
