But prior to the celebs making their live dancing debut, former star Dan issued a warning to the new line-up. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Saturday (September 23) Dan penned: “All the best to every couple hitting the Strictly dance floor tonight.”
The Channel 5 News presenter added: “Week 1 is always a bit of a nervy one. I always tried to trust my partner and ignore 87% of what Craig said. He’s much nicer off camera – listen to that stuff.”
