Strictly Come Dancing's George Clarke ‘gives away' who his pro dance partner is weeks before launch

Will this be a match worthy of the glitterball? TWO TO TANGO Strictly Come Dancing's George Clarke 'gives away' who his pro dance partner is weeks before launch STRICTLY star George Clarke may have accidentally let slip who he's partnered with for this year's series. Typically, it's kept under lock and key who the celebs are partnered with ahead of the launch show – which will air on BBC One in a matter of weeks. 5 George is part of this year's Strictly line-up Credit: Strictly Come Dancing / Instagram 5 The star revealed he was coupled with Lauren during his audition Credit: Strictly Come Dancing / Instagram Advertisement 5 The TikToker and podcaster will make his debut on the dancefloor next month Credit: Instagram However, in a chat on his podcast The Useless Hotline with Max Balegde, the excited George may have spilled the beans. Explaining the audition process, George revealed that he was partnered with a pro – and rehearsed with her for an hour. "I've not met anyone apart from, I believe her name's Lauren [Oakley], who was the pro that I met," he said. "Because when we had a interview for it, so it's like an hour long interview, and then like an hour long dance session." Advertisement Lauren has been on the show since 2022, and so far has competed with two stars – Krishnan Guru-Murthy, who placed 8th, and JB Gill last year, taking over from fellow pro Amy Dowden mid-season after she was forced to withdraw due to injury. JB and Lauren made it through to the finals together, but ultimately lost out to Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell. Speaking about the process, George continued that he and Lauren had to perform in front of "two lovely women from the production team that were just sat at what basically looked like a judge's desk". During the audition, George revealed he and Lauren had to learn a jive and a "little Latin number he couldn't remember the name of". Advertisement However, he later added that he wasn't sure if that practice "had any weight on who he would be partnered with on the main show", revealing the official pairing reveal would be taking place in the upcoming days. George is not the first star to reveal who he was coupled up with during his audition, with Drag Race UK star La Voix admitting that they had performed with Kai Widdrington. They told Daily Star: "I'm casting my net wide. Someone who can lift me up and show me off, that's what I want.

Secret inside knowledge: when I did my little dance trial for the show, I had Kai for my audition, so maybe that would be nice. He's a great guy, an amazing teacher." The official partnerships will be revealed during the official launch show, which is pre-recorded and believed to be airing on September 20th.

Florence And The Machine to release first album in three years on Halloween

The Florence Welch-fronted indie pop group, whose last album Dance Fever was released in May 2022, will release their sixth album on record, CD and cassette as well as on streaming on October 31. It comes after Welch, 38, teased new music by posting a video on her personal Instagram account of herself digging a hole before looking down and screaming into it, and a video of herself walking across a field. A post shared by Florence + The Machine (@florenceandthemachine) The new album was announced with a picture of its cover posted to Instagram, which shows Welch reclining in a black-and-white outfit, and is currently available for pre-order. The band's last record reached number one on the UK albums chart, and they also released the live album Symphony Of Lungs, recorded at the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall with Jules Buckley and his Orchestra, in 2024. Dance Fever featured the singles King, My Love and Free. Last year, Camberwell-born Welch joined Taylor Swift on stage at Wembley Stadium during the US pop star's Eras Tour to perform their collaboration Florida!!!, with Swift describing the moment as 'unforgettable'. The pair are long-term friends. A post shared by Florence Welch (@florence) Beginning their career in 2007, Florence And The Machine have had four UK number one albums in Lungs (2009), Ceremonials (2011), How Big How Blue How Beautiful (2015), and Dance Fever, as well as two UK number one singles. The band are best known for songs such as Dog Days Are Over, You Got The Love and Shake It Out. Florence And The Machine, who were formed in London, are currently completed by Isabella Summers, Robert Ackroyd, Tom Monger, Cyrus Bayandor, Aku Orraca-Tetteh, Dionne Douglas, and Loren Humphrey. The band have not toured since 2023.
