Daniel O’Donnell confirmed for Strictly Come Dancing

Yes, you read right - Daniel O’Donnell has been confirmed as one of the celebrities to take part in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.

O’Donnell announced the news on Steve Wright’s BBC Radio 2 show earlier today, saying: "I decided to take a short break from touring and told myself that I would only consider doing something if it was both different and exciting, well what could be more exciting than Strictly Come Dancing?

"I love to dance and boy am I looking forward to getting started and being the best that I can be!”

Well, if it’s anything like his Rose of Tralee performance we can’t wait.

WARNING: Perpare for some uncomrtable Dad hip trusting.

The Donegal native is the eighth celebrity confirmed for this year’s series, and will join Jeremy Vine, Ainsley Harriott, Kellie Bright, Georgia May Foote, Katie Derham, Carol Kirkwood and Peter Andre for the show.
