There might be several months to wait until the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing returns for the 2024 series, but fans are already desperate to know which celebrities will be cast in the line-up.
Last year saw Coronation Street star Ellie Leach soar to victory with her professional dance partner Vito Coppola, with the pair lifting the Glitterball Trophy in triumph.
They beat out fellow finalists Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell, as well as Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin, at the very end of the spectacular competition.
So who could be heading to the dancefloor in the upcoming season? According to the latest updates, Hannah Waddingham and Nicola Peltz are among the top names rumoured for consideration.
Let’s take a look at everyone who’s been tipped so far…

It’s been claimed that after gaining a global fan base thanks to Ted Lasso, and presenting Eurovision in Liverpool last year… Hannah Waddingham could end up joining Strictly.
An insider claimed that the actress – who’s a friend of Strictly judge Anton Du Beke and his wife Hannah Summers – is seriously considering the offer.
‘Hannah would be an incredible signing for Strictly this year, and so far things are looking very positive,’ they told The Mirror.
‘She loves the show – she has heard so much about it from Anton and Hannah, as she is a close friend to both – and is keen to do it. It’s just a question of whether or not it’s possible to fit it into her schedule – obviously it’s a very big commitment, and she is incredibly in demand at the moment.’

While Nicola might currently be known as the newest member of the Beckham clan, she’s apparently setting her sights on finding wider fame on UK TV.
The American actress, 29, married Brooklyn Beckham, 25, in 2022 after going public with their relationship two years previously.
In January this year, it was claimed by an insider that Nicola’s team were keen to ‘boost her profile’ in the UK, receiving full support from her husband.
‘Strictly has been mooted as the perfect show for Nicola,’ they added to The Sun.
‘Nicola’s genuinely got something about her, so has every hope of building on her own fame away from Brand Beckham — 2024 promises to be an exciting time for BNB.’
