Gethin Jones drops huge hint that BBC star has signed up for Strictly Come Dancing 2024

He could be in good company with a top comedian and 80s singer already believed to be signed up

GETHIN Jones has seemingly dropped a major hint as to which BBC star has signed up for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.

The Morning Live hunk offered up clues on the programme this morning alongside his co-star, and former Strictly competitor, Helen Skelton.

It all came as Gethin and Helen previewed what was to come up on their Manchester-based show to fellow BBC stars Sally Nugent and Jon Kay on BBC Breakfast.

The programme’s hosts confirmed they would be chatting to BBC News and Mastermind host Clive Myrie all about his latest travel series when Gethin made the very telling comment.

Speaking to the camera, Helen said: “Clive Myrie tells us about heading to the Caribbean for his new travel series and if busting moves to Jamaican dance hall music has inspired him to consider Strictly.”

Gethin then suggested that Clive would be up for saying yes to the show on the basis he believed that he had the best moves among any of the BBC News staff.

Appearing to poke fun at his co-star Helen, as a result of her BBC presetting background, Gethin quipped: “I think out of all of the BBC news readers that I know, Clive has the most rhythm I would say, pretty much, out of everyone I know from BBC News.”

Jon Kay then laughed back: “We’re definitely not going to argue with that!”

During his brand new programme, Clive has been learning to bust a few moves over in the Carribbean.

The BBC Two series has seen him reconnecting with his roots and discovering more about the rich culture and history behind a slew of countries.

Clive has taken in the bustling nightlife in Jamaica, as well as wander the streets of Cuba and relax on the beaches of Barbados.

It should have provided him with plenty of down time should he decide to sign up for the BBC dancing contest.

Clive could be in good company after The Sun revealed how blind comedian Chris McCausland is set to join the dancing contest.

Comic and CBeebies actor Chris, 46, lost his sight aged 22 due to a hereditary condition.

Producers are certain the 46-year-old CBeebies actor’s fun-loving personality will prove a hit with viewers — and he cannot wait to embrace the challenge.

As well as Chris, 80s star Toyah Wilcox has also agreed to take on the ballroom.

But their signings could be dwarfed by rumours Girls Aloud popstar Nicola Roberts is considering giving the programme a go off the back of the group’s mammoth sell-out arena tour.

If Nicola were to head to the ballroom, she would be one of the biggest names the show has signed up in recent years.
