Second Strictly Come Dancing pairing ‘revealed’ as fans spot ‘clue’ that gives away couple
A STRICTLY Come Dancing pairing has seemingly been ‘confirmed’ ahead of the new series.
JLS vocalist JB Gill and pro dancer Karen Hauer have sparked speculation they have been partnered up for the hit BBC show.
Writing on an online forum, a viewer said: “So I think we have another ‘confirmed pairing’.
“Make up artist Liv posted on insta with Karen earlier filming her meet the partner at the o2 arena.
“JB’s wife has now just posted a photo of him at the o2 arena today saying strictly is getting very real.”
During her time on Strictly, bosses have paired Karen with 12 celebs to date.
This includes Dave Myers, Mark Wright, Jeremy Vine and Will Young.
She has reached the final on two occasions, with former TOWIE star Mark and Made in Chelsea’s Jamie Laing.
Meanwhile, the upcoming series will not be JB’s first time stepping foot on the Strictly dance floor.
In December 2012, the now-37-year-old won that year’s Christmas special after performing a Jive alongside Ola Jordan.
JB and comedian Chris McCausland – the show’s first blind contestant – were the first two names to be unveiled for the 2024 line-up.
Following this announcement, the singer and farmer said: “I danced in the Strictly Christmas special over a decade ago and loved it, so when I got the call to join Strictly this year, it was an immediate yes from me.
“I’m raring to go to and looking forward to showing off some new skills to the JLS boys.”
It comes as another potential pairing was previously ‘confirmed’.
DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles, 61, was seen filming at a London shopping centre yesterday alongside professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova.
Nick was sharply dressed in a blue suit, while Nadiya opted for more casual attire with a white shirt and jeans.
