HRVY confirmed for Strictly Come Dancing

HRVY has been confirmed for \'Strictly Come Dancing\'.

The \'Million Ways\' hitmaker is the eleventh celebrity contestant to be confirmed to appear on the BBC One latin and ballroom show.

He said: "Being on Strictly is going to be such an amazing experience and I\'m so thankful to be taking part this year. I think my mum is more excited that she\'ll be able to see me every Saturday night now."

HRVY made the announcement as he appeared on the KISS Breakfast show with Jordan and Perri on Friday (04.09.20) morning.

It comes after Maisie Smith and Jamie Laing were confirmed for \'Strictly Come Dancing\', with the \'Made in Chelsea\' star making his return after having to pull out the last series at the last-minute after tearing a ligament in his foot.

Maisie admitted she does have some dance experience but "no technical ability at all" and insisted winning Strictly\'s \'Children in Need\' special with Kevin Clifton last year was an "absolute fluke".

She said: "It was an absolute fluke, I\'m not going to lie. I\'ve got dancing experience. I\'ve done a bit of hip hop and street dance, throughout my time. But I have no technical ability at all. So, I feel I was very lucky on that week. But who knows, I could be the dark horse."

Jamie is delighted to have been asked back on the show after overcoming his injury, and hopes he can make his mum and grandmother "proud" of him.

He said: "I\'m back, and I\'m really excited. I\'m over the moon I get the chance to come back and dance again ... I\'ve disappointed [my mum and grandma] my whole life. I made them proud last year, and then I disappointed them again because I had to drop out. But I think I\'ve made them proud again. So, mum and granny - I\'m doing \'Strictly\'. They don\'t know again, which is hilarious."
