The 2024 series of BBC's Strictly Come Dancing is set to feature a diverse lineup of celebrities, including Love Island’s Tasha Ghouri, X Factor winner Shayne Ward, and DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles. Other rumored contestants are ex-rugby star Danny Cipriani, former Arsenal player Paul Merson, and actress Hannah Waddingham. This season comes amid controversy, as allegations of bullying from previous contestants have led to new measures to ensure participant welfare. The official reveal of the first celebrity contestants is scheduled for August 5 on ITV's This Morning. This year’s series aims to maintain the show's high profile while addressing past grievances.
