The announcement was made today.
IRISH MUSICIAN DANIEL O’Donnell is going to star in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.
O’Donnell made the announcement on Steve Wright In The Afternoon on BBC Radio 2 earlier today, saying:
Earlier this year, I decided to take a short break from touring and told myself that I would only consider doing something if it was both different and exciting. Well, what could be more exciting than Strictly Come Dancing? I love to dance and boy am I looking forward to getting started and being the best that I can be!
