Strictly reveals former England rugby star in 2025 line-up
On joining Strictly 2025, Chris shared: 'This is about as far out of my comfort zone as it gets!
'I'm hoping to take my dad dancing to a whole new level, and my mum can't wait to drag me along to her Zumba class. Let's see if a rugby sidestep works in the Cha Cha Cha.'
Who is Strictly star Chris Robshaw?
Chris first joined his childhood club, Harlequins RFC, straight out of school and became captain at 23 years old.
He earned 66 caps for England and captained the national team 43 times, leading them to a Six Nations Grand Slam victory in 2016.
At club level, he played 300 games for Harlequins RFC, guiding them through their most successful era and becoming the only player to win the Aviva Premiership Player of the Year Award twice.
