Tom Fletcher is hoping to become the second McFly star to lift the Glitterball trophy being announced as one of the celebrities competing in this year’s ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The singer is one of the first big names to be announced for the 2021 edition of the BBC One show, which is set to kick off next month with its 19th series.
Following the announcement, Tom wrote on Instagram: “’I’M DOING @bbcstrictly THIS YEAR!!!
“It hasn’t quite sunk in yet but it’s official. It’s happening. I’m so excited to learn to dance. Can’t wait to find out who my partner is going to be, they’re going to have some serious work to do!
“I’m going to give it my all though. Let’s see what these dad-hips can do!”
Bandmate Harry Judd waltzed to first place on the 2011 series of the show and has won a total of three times, including a 2010 ‘Children in Need’ edition and 2015 Christmas Special.
Actor Robert Webb and TV presenter AJ Odudu are among the stars also competing on the 2021 edition, while a full line-up has yet to be announced.
McFly returned in 2020 with their sixth album ‘Young Dumb Thrills’ and the four-piece is already back in the studio working on a new 16-song collection.
