 Former EastEnders star Nigel Harman is reportedly one of the stars joining this year's Strictly Come Dancing line-up. The long-running ballroom competition was won in 2022 by celeb cameraman-turned-dancer Hamza Yassin and his professional partner Jowita Przystal. Naturally, with the next series only two months away, rumours about the line-up for the 2023 competition have started, with many famous names in the running. Among those slated to appear are an I'm A Celeb winner, a TV chef, a Waterloo Road and Emmerdale actor, and a controversial former This Morning host. Actor Nigel, 49, played Dennis Rickman on the BBC soap. His character was killed off in 2006 when he was stabbed on New Year's Day and died in Sharon's (Letitia Dean)arms. And it looks like Nigel is gearing up for the glitzy challenge this autumn.

The insider added to Mail Online: 'The line-up is going to be a great mix.' Nigel isn't the only soap star linked to this year's series as former Emmerdale actor Adam Thomas has also been rumoured to make his Strictly debut. He's no stranger to the programme and its content as he previously showed his unique sense of humour when he joked that he wanted to experience its infamous curse despite being married. The 'Strictly curse' is a term used to describe when celebrities end up in romantic relationships with their professional dance partners. The Sun reported that he said: 'Bring it all on. I love a bit of glitz and glam. 'I just want to experience the Strictly curse.' Adam, 34, was very much joking as he married his long-term girlfriend Caroline Daly in 2017. The couple have children Elsie-Rose, five, and son Teddy, eight, who plays his son Tommy on Waterloo Road){kind=link}
