Summary
- Scarlett Moffatt is the first celebrity confirmed for the Strictly Christmas Special.
- She previously competed as a semi-professional dancer in her youth.
- Moffatt won 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!' in 2016.
Scarlett Moffatt has been revealed as the first celebrity contestant for the upcoming Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special. The announcement was made during an appearance on the show's companion program, Strictly: It Takes Two. Moffatt, a familiar face from Gogglebox and a previous winner of 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!' in 2016, brings a wealth of dancing experience to the festive competition.
Her participation marks a return to the ballroom for the 35-year-old, who was a semi-professional dancer in her childhood. Despite having previously expressed reservations about joining Strictly due to her dance background potentially giving her an unfair advantage, she is now embracing the opportunity. Moffatt shared her excitement, calling the experience 'truly magical' and a career highlight.
The Christmas Special will feature six couples competing for the glitterball trophy. Hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will return, alongside judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and Anton Du Beke. The show promises festive performances and live music, culminating in a studio audience vote to determine the champion.
