Strictly Come Dancing fans have been glued to their screens over the past few weeks after BBC bosses announced the star-studded line-up for the upcoming series.
But it appears as though there may be one more contestant set to join the celebrity cast this year that will join the cast of professional dance partners.
Back in May, Welsh dancer Amy Dowden was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer at the age of 32.

Doctors later found another type of cancer which she described as a “massive blow” which meant that she would be able to compete on the BBC One dance show later this year.

Although TV bosses have insisted that the blonde bombshell will not be replaced on the series, fans have been wondering which pro dancer will step in for the star this year.
Now, Daily Star has put one of the world’s most popular artificially intelligent “creative” tools Bard AI through its paces to find out who will step up to the plate.
When asked which professional dancer will take on the role, the program predicted one of the pro dancers welcomed last year could take on the prized role.

It explained: “One possibility is that one of the new dancers who joined Strictly Come Dancing in 2022 could step in” – including Amy’s close pal Lauren Oakley.
The AI went on: “It is possible that Lauren Oakley could stand in for Amy Dowden on Strictly Come Dancing.
“She is one of the four new professional dancers who joined the show in 2022, and she is a talented dancer with a wealth of experience.”

It went on: “She has been praised by fans and critics alike, and she would be a good choice to stand in for Dowden. She is definitely a contender for that role.”
But Lauren isn’t the only dancer who has been suggested to temporarily fill her spot, after the program pointed out another strong contender could be a completely new dancer entirely.
Bard AI pointed out: “Another possibility is that a guest professional dancer could be brought in.
“This could be a former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer or a dancer from another show.”

It comes after BBC bosses reportedly explained they “won’t be casting a replacement” for Amy following her cancer diagnosis.
An insider told The Sun: “They won’t be recasting a replacement for Amy and even if she isn’t well enough to take part in a full series, they’ll strive to have her back showcasing her amazing skills in some form.
“That might be in the form of a performance with other pros or even this year’s Christmas special.
“Either way the door remains open for her to return at a time and manner of her choosing.”
