Strictly Come Dancing bosses 'line up Georgia Toffolo and an Apprentice star for star-studded 2025 series'
Strictly Come Dancing bosses are reportedly already lining up the celebrity contestants for the next series, with Georgia Toffolo said to be top of the wish list.
The Made In Chelsea star, 30, previously won rival reality show I'm A Celebrity back in 2017, and might have the chance to do the same on the BBC dancing contest, as she is said to be in talks to sign up.
Speaking to The Sun, a source said: 'Georgia is in talks to join – she would bring glamour, poise and fun to the show.
'She's been a huge hit on all the telly shows she's done and would be a popular contestant on Strictly.'
The insider claimed that fellow member of high society and MasterChef star, Tom Parker Bowles, is also in the running.
The eldest son of Queen Camilla 50, is said to have already been approached for the last series, with bosses keen to get him onboard.
'It would be a coup to sign someone with such a strong royal link. Maybe we could see Camilla and Charles in the audience?'
, Strictly bosses have also reportedly signed up Apprentice star Thomas Skinner in the hopes he'll attract 'working-class blokes' to the show.
The businessman, 34, was on season 15 of the BBC show in 2019 and reached week nine before he was fired by Lord Sugar, despite losing all his tasks.
Known for his strong Cockney accent and 'Bosh' catchphrase, he went on to rack up a large following on social media and appear on shows such as 8 Out of 10 Cats and Celebrity MasterChef.
According to The Mirror, Thomas has agreed to appear on Strictly after previously admitting his mum 'would love him to do it'.
A source told the publication: 'Thomas hasn't any dancing experience, but he's up for giving the competition his best shot.
'Strictly bosses are hoping he'll get the dads watching. He has a massive following, especially with working-class blokes.
'He's a huge football fan and enjoys pies and gravy. He's not a luvvie at all. He's bound to get his catchphrase 'Bosh' on to the show, too.'
MailOnline has contacted the BBC and representatives for Georgia, Tom and Thomas for comment.
The BBC announced the professional lineup for this year's Strictly series last month, revealing there will be two brand new dancers joining.
Dianne Buswell, who lifted the glitter ball in December with Chris McCausland, will be joining Johannes Radebe, Aljaž Škorjanec, Nadiya Bychkova, Karen Hauer, Gorka Marquez, and Jowita Przystal in returning to the dance floor this September.
They will be joined by Katya Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Neil Jones, Luba Mushtuk Nancy Xu, Lauren Oakley, Michelle Tsiakkas and Vito Coppola who will all take to the floor once more alongside two new stars, who will be announced closer to the time.
Amy Dowden, who pulled out in the opening weeks of last year's show due to a foot injury, will also be back on Strictly for 2025, as will Carlos Gu and Kai Widdrington, who didn't have a celebrity partner last year.
Despite rumours that he might be making a return after missing out on last year's series, Giovanni Pernice will not be heading back to the ballroom this time around.
Sarah James, Executive Producer, BBC Studios said: 'The excitement is already building ahead of the new series and in addition to welcoming back our fantastic returning Pros, we are looking forward to welcoming two brand new Professional Dancers to the line up who will help bring another unforgettable series of dazzling dance and loads more besides to viewers later in 2025.'
As well as the pros taking part in the competition itself, all of them will be taking to the floor each week in group routines.
In recent years, the Strictly pro lineup has seen Italian dancers Graziano Di Prima and Giovanni be axed following complaints about their conduct in the training room.
Giovanni faced bullying accusations from former celebrity partner Amanda Abbington while Graziano 'kicked' ex-Love Island star Zara McDermott during rehearsals.

Brazilian Piper Pipe Band is coming to Edinburgh this summer
In August the Brazilian Piper Pipe Band, a group of young men from the tough suburb of Rio de Janeiro, São Goncalo, will set off on a life- changing adventure to one of the official events celebrating the 200th UK-Brazil anniversary here in the capital. Their journey will take them to Lisbon and London, and the Edinburgh Festival where they will play at the Ross Bandstand. The Brazilian Piper Pipe Band was founded in 1999 by Pipe Major José Paulo Pereira as a social project using the discipline of a pipe band to train underprivileged teenagers from a violent area of Rio De Janeiro dominated by drug traffic to become responsible citizens. They have performed their rich repertoire of traditional Scottish pipe tunes, theme music from famous TV series and Brazilian popular music all over South America – including a foot-tapping samba finale always guaranteeing a standing ovation. Their 'Daily Ceilidh' show will be a prime example of the peaceful fusion of culture between Brazil and the UK and will run from 12 to 19 August 2025 between 15.30 and 17.30. Every afternoon the band will gather at the Ross Fountain in West Princes Street Gardens. At 15.30, there will be a parade behind the Brazilian Piper Pipe Band 200 metres from the fountain to the Ross Bandstand entrance. A Grand March into the area for dancing in front of the stage, where the Iain MacPhail Ceilidh band will start off each ' Daily Ceilidh' show with the 'Gay Gordons' dance. The show will continue by inviting the audience to join in easy ceilidh dances led by the Iain MacPhail Pipe Band and RSCDS dancers, interspersed with presentations by the Brazilian Piper Pipe Band and Batucada Brasil Percussion Group. The show will end with general samba dancing for all to the Brazilian Piper Pipe Band, Batucada Brasil Percussion and the Iain MacPhail Ceilidh Band, followed by Auld Lang Syne. The show will include the Iain MacPhail Ceilidh Band. For over thirty years Iain MacPhail provided the music for Caledonian Balls in South America and the Ghillies' Ball for the Royal family at Balmoral Castle. It will also include dancers from the Royal Scottish County Dance Society (RSCDS) and a carnival group from Edinburgh's Brazilian community with the Batucada Brasil percussion band. Capt James H Frew said: 'I'm a native of Edinburgh, and have been 42 years in Brazil. I'm a retired Merchant Navy captain with a marine surveying business. I've been working on this project since March 2024 – and we'll be staying in Port Seton Holiday village caravans, using the 26 bus to get to Princes Street Gardens every day for the show. 'The Brazilian Piper Pipe Band social project is supported by the British consulate in Rio de Janeiro and the Consulate General of Brazil in Edinburgh. The band raised their own travelling expenses from presentations at shipping malls, local community events and the Rio passenger cruise ship terminal.' During their run they will play along with the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS) dancers and Batucada Brasil Percussion Group. Edinburgh's Brazilian community is organising a BBQ for them. On 11 August the band will be one of 17 international pipe bands which has been invited by the National Piping Centre, Glasgow, to participate in the annual 'Piping Live' parade to demonstrate the versatility of the Great Highland Bagpipe. On 17 August the band will be received by the Consulate General of Brazil in Edinburgh and on 25 August they will return home. Like this: Like Related

Original Grange Hill cast now from devastating death, ditching fame and addiction battle
The original cast of Grange Hill marked the childhoods of many kids around the country. Now, they all lead vastly different lives. It was the school where detention wasn't just a threat, and important social issues were brought to light. Grange Hill, the groundbreaking BBC drama that first aired in 1978, offered a realistic and honest look at the lives of secondary school pupils - tackling everything from racism and bullying, to drug addiction and teenage pregnancy. The show ran for three decades, amassing a vast alumni of child actors, many of whom became household names. But for every one who stayed in the limelight, others faded from view or faced difficult personal battles. Here's a look at where some of the most memorable stars are now. Lee MacDonald (Zammo McGuire) Zammo's harrowing heroin addiction storyline in the mid-1980s became one of the most talked-about plots in British television history. Played by Lee MacDonald, Zammo was a bright student whose descent into addiction shocked viewers and sparked a nationwide campaign: the now-iconic Just Say No anti-drugs initiative, supported by Nancy Reagan herself. After leaving Grange Hill, Lee struggled to find acting roles, later admitting that the association with drug addiction – albeit fictional – resulted in prejudice in casting offices. A keen amateur boxer, his sporting ambitions were dashed by a car accident, and he eventually opened a locksmith business in Wallington, Surrey. But Lee's TV career wasn't entirely over. He popped up in The Bill, Celebrity Scissorhands, and even EastEnders, playing Terry in 2019. In 2020, he proposed to his long-time partner Jess, and the pair married in 2022. More recently, in June 2024, Lee revealed he had been diagnosed with a form of skin cancer, but reassured fans that he was undergoing treatment after spotting it early. Todd Carty (Tucker Jenkins) Tucker Jenkins wasn't just a character – he was a phenomenon. Played by Todd Carty, Tucker was a rebel with a heart, whose popularity led to the successful spin-off Tucker's Luck. Todd's career soared post-Grange Hill, particularly when he joined EastEnders as Mark Fowler in 1990. Mark's HIV diagnosis broke new ground for soap storylines and earned Todd critical acclaim. He later flipped the script entirely, playing sinister PC Gabriel Kent in The Bill, a storyline that veered into dark and disturbing territory. Todd also found unexpected fame on Dancing on Ice in 2009, when a botched move saw him accidentally skate off the rink mid-routine – a moment that's lived on in viral clips ever since. Now 60, Todd lives in Muswell Hill with his long-term partner Dina Clarkin, a writer and producer. They have two sons and run their own production company. Susan Tully (Suzanne Ross) Susan Tully starred as headstrong Suzanne Ross in the early '80s before becoming a TV legend as Michelle Fowler in EastEnders. Her portrayal of a teenage mum, pregnant by none other than 'Dirty' Den Watts, made her one of the soap's most compelling characters. But it's behind the camera where Susan has truly flourished. She turned to directing in the 1990s, later leading high-profile shows like Line of Duty, Tin Star, Silent Witness, and Too Close. Known for her tight, character-driven style, she's now one of the most respected directors working in British TV. John Alford (Robbie Wright) John Alford had a promising career post-Grange Hill, finding further success in London's Burning and launching a brief pop career. But last year he was charged with four counts of sexual activity with a child, as well as two - relating to a second female - of sexual assault and assault by penetration. He is due to face trial in August. Terry Sue-Patt (Benny Green) Terry Sue-Patt played Benny Green, Grange Hill's first black character and a fan favourite. A talented footballer discovered in a London park, he also starred in the gritty Gary Oldman film The Firm. Sadly, Terry died in 2015, aged 50. His body was found in his Walthamstow flat, having reportedly been undiscovered for a month. He had battled alcoholism in his later years, and a number of fellow cast members paid tribute to him on social media. Erkan Mustafa (Roland Browning) Bullied for his weight, Roland – or 'Roly' – became a sympathetic figure for many viewers. Erkan Mustafa played the role with heart, though he later admitted acting wasn't something he initially pursued. He continued acting in low-key roles and later focused on writing. In interviews, Erkan has spoken fondly about his time on Grange Hill, saying he's grateful for the lifelong friendships it gave him. He also starred in The All-Nighter, a short film, in 2018. Donald Waugh (Joseph 'Hughesy' Hughes) Donald Waugh played Hughesy in the late '70s and then went on to work with theatre and launched a successful career - but endured a period of homelessness and alcohol addiction after leaving acting. He later turned his life around and now helps others struggling with similar issues, attending fan reunions and speaking openly about recovery. James Jebbia (Tommy Watson, series one) A little-known fact: the original Tommy Watson from series one was played by James Jebbia – who went on to found streetwear empire Supreme. The role in later series was taken over by Paul McCarthy. After leaving Grange Hill, James moved to New York and began working in fashion. By 1994, he'd launched Supreme, a cult brand now valued at over $1 billion. James keeps a famously low profile, but Vanity Fair reported that as of 2017, Supreme was generating more than $500 million annually. Simone Nylander (Janet St Clair) Janet was the sweet and loyal friend of Roly, and was played by Simone Nylander from 1982 to 1986. After the show, she dipped into production work and worked with Simon Fuller's 19 Management. In 2020, she launched SN Voices, a voiceover agency for diverse talent, combining her passion for performance and representation in media. Alison Bettles (Fay Lucas) Fay Lucas was a fan favourite, and Alison Bettles was part of the influential Just Say No campaign. She continued acting into the '90s, with appearances in The Bill, No Strings, and an EastEnders wartime special, making her last appearance in 2001. Now a mother of four, Alison works as a beauty therapist and reportedly runs a freight business. Two of her sons have followed in her footsteps, landing roles in Doctor Who and EastEnders. Paula-Ann Bland (Claire Scott) Claire Scott made headlines when her diary fantasy about a teacher prompted chaos. Off-screen, Paula-Ann Bland released a cover of The Loco-Motion and continued acting - and even shook audiences by posing topless for men's magazine Mayfair - before taking a step back from the industry. In the 1990s, she ran boutique shoe shops in London and launched a PR firm. Now a mum of two, she has survived breast cancer and is also an ambassador for The Good Grief Trust.

Drag Race UK star on incredible weight loss and poignant The Vivienne message
Kitty Scott-Claus, who appeared in the third series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, has lost eight pounds after making some radical lifestyle changes Pride month is in full swing, and drag queens, the so-called 'ambassadors' of the LGBTQIA+ community, are already busy entertaining crowds. In fact, today, I'm sitting with Kitty Scott-Claus who has just spent the weekend 'shouting in a mic' at Mighty Hoopla. 'I love to be the loudest person in the room,' Kitty jokes. She adds: "It's so annoying, I hate myself.' Being an entertainer is just one of the many hats Kitty wears. She was a finalist on 2022's Celebrity MasterChef and is now gearing up for a return to the West End this summer with her upcoming role in The Diana Mixtape, embodying once again Lady Di, a character with which she won the notably difficult 'snatch game' challenge on RuPaul's Drag Race. With her honest humour and infectious charisma, it didn't take long for Kitty to earn her place as one of the UK's most beloved Drag Queens. But her journey started from 'real humble beginnings', she reveals. Kitty says: 'I feel like, especially this year, this pride month, I feel so reflective of my journey, and how far I've come, and thinking 'oh my god' from where I started. 'I started doing drag at a bar in Camden and we were playing to like three people.' Kitty has since put her Bachelor's Degree from the Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, in musical theater to good use. Keeping herself booked and busy, the media personality has not tired yet from the wigs and make up. 'Drag gives you the opportunity to be beautiful on the days where you don't necessarily feel beautiful,' she reveals. She further shares: 'Drag for me, I feel like I'm Barbie and I feel like it doesn't matter what the situation is, I just put on the outfit, and then I become that thing. So when I was in Masterchef, I put on my Masterchef's outfit, I feel like it's a good analogy for life.' And while many drag artists keep their art completely separate from their real lives, Kitty embodies her real personality in and out of her work attire. 'I don't really have a drag persona, I'm the same in drag or out of drag, it doesn't matter if I've got a wig on or not, I'm always going to be an attention seeker,' she says. Nevertheless, Kitty also enjoys being able to enter public spaces as herself, or rather, himself - Louie Westwood, even though 'the gays know'. She explains: 'It's fabulous, because you get to do that double life thing. 'In the words of Hannah Montana, you get the best of both worlds.' While being confident and admitting to always being happy with their appearance, Kitty also acknowledges the pressure of being scrutinised by TV views. But that wasn't the motivation for Kitty to lose an impressive eight stone. She recalls: 'I was so happy with the size I was and I never thought, because I'd grown up being a bigger individual, I'd grown up being plus size, I never thought in a million years I could be the size I am now, that just never crossed my mind. 'I'd grown up being bigger, I just didn't think that it was possible.' Upon starting working out with a personal trainer suggested by her Drag Race castmate, Ella Vaday, Kitty got a taste for a healthier lifestyle. Kitty further shared her weight loss journey, revealing how she achieved her transformation: 'The biggest thing for me was finding an exercise routine that works for you and that you enjoy. I think if you enjoy it, you don't feel like 'all right, I've got go and work out now'.' The drag artist admitted that going to the gym has become her 'zen time', a place where she can be by herself and listen to her music. In addition to the gym, Kitty also goes swimming. 'I really love swimming and that's completely disconnected from everything, I don't have a phone, I don't have music with me, I don't have any distractions,' Kitty says. 'It's me and the pool.' Diet and making radical changes to her lifestyle have also contributed to Kitty's transformation. She further debunked rumours accusing her of relying on diabetes medications that have been made popular by celebrities in recent years. 'A lot of it is diet, and I feel like especially losing weight in 2025, the world is so hot on Ozempic and Mounjaro, and everyone is so quick to say you've just done Ozempic, you're in the public eye, you have a blue tick, this is how you've done it,' Kitty admits. 'And it's like no, I'm in the gym every single day, and I love it, and I've changed my diet, I don't drink anymore, I'm sober.' She adds: 'Completely 180 of what my life was and I'm eight stone down and I've never been happier. I've never felt more confident.' Running is another activity Kitty 'absolutely loves' doing. In fact, she loved it so much, she ran this year's London Marathon, dedicating the 26.2 mile race to the late The Vivienne. 'Vive has left such a lasting legacy and it's such a powerful message that she's left behind, and it's going to inspire queens from now for generations to come,' Kitty says. 'She's so missed by everyone and I love her.' James Lee Williams, known professionally as The Vivienne, was the winner of the first series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK. She tragically passed in January at the age of 32 from a cardiac arrest. Despite the joy and colour brought by a month promising rainbows and acceptance, the versatile drag artist acknowledges more unfortunate events that have impacted the community this year. This includes the UK Supreme Court ruling that the legal definition of "woman" under the Equality Act 2010 is based on biological sex, excluding transgender women. 'It just reiterates how important it is to have pride and to have pride month,' Kitty reacts. 'And I mean, I'm coming to this speaking as a cisgender man about the legislation rules about trans and what is a woman. 'I think it's ridiculous and it's so stupid, like, mind your own business let live, let people live their truth, protect the dolls, that's what the most important thing is.' Kitty competed on the third series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, in addition to competing on RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars. She is now set to set to star in the world premiere of The Diana Mixtape from 28 th July at HERE at Outernet alongside an equally star-studded cast.
