This Morning presenter Josie Gibson is reportedly being lined up as the first celebrity contestant for the upcoming season of Strictly Come Dancing, set to begin in September.

Gibson, who previously appeared on I'm A Celebrity in 2023, has openly discussed the challenges of being a working single mother.
