Laura Whitmore has been confirmed as a contestant for Strictly Come Dancing, but not our brand spankin' new one, she's going to pop up on the adored UK version.

The announcement was made this morning during her BFF Nick Grimshaw's Radio 1 Breakfast Show.

"I have watched Strictly and been obsessed with the show since series 1. It's an incredible show and I feel so honoured to be asked to take part in it.

"I'm not going to lie, I'm slightly petrified too," she added.

Laura is the third contestant to be announced and she will join Will Young and Ed Balls in the new series of the show.

When RTE announced yesterday that Ireland will be getting its own version of Dancing with the Stars, people quickly began to speculate that The Voice of Ireland could be getting the chop.

And unfortunately for lovers of the popular talent show, that indeed seems to be the case.

According to The Irish Mirror, The Voice of Ireland will be scrapped after five seasons to make way for the world famous dancing competition.

Channel Controller for RTE One and RTE2 Adrian Lynch said: “After five hugely successful seasons of The Voice of Ireland now is a perfect time to refresh the Sunday evening entertainment slot with one of the world’s best-loved formats.”

“We want to thank everyone involved in The Voice of Ireland for their incredible hard work over the past five years in the making the show such a success.”

The Irish version of Dancing with the Stars will document 11 celebrities as they learn to move like professional ballroom dancers and will air on RTE in early 2017.

RTÉ have cancelled their plans to run an Irish Strictly Come Dancing due to lack of funds to support the show.

As we all know the BBC's Strictly is one of the most popular shows on TV in the past few years, but RTÉ doesn't have the budget to make it as good as its counterpart.

According to the Irish Sun: “Strictly is an award-winning international format with electric dance routines,” said an insider.

“It’s not a show you can cut back on costs.”

BBC bosses were concerned that another version of Strictly so close to the English version wouldn't work as it would be difficult to find celebrities in Ireland that can dance.

“It’s not just the production values, it’s finding celebrities who can dance in Ireland. The UK is so big, it’s no prolem there, but you’d struggle to find enough well-known faces who can dance in Ireland.”

Well, we were excited there for a moment, but we guess we can't have everything!

He may be an ace drummer, a prime member of pop/ rock supergroup McBusted as well as a total natural on the dance floor but now Harry Judd can add doting father to his long list of accomplishments. 

The former McFly drummer has announced that his wife Izzy Johnston gave birth to a healthy baby girl yesterday evening. 

And it seems he is super proud of his new bundle as he took to Twitter to share the news. 

"Lola Rose Emma Judd entered the world at 8:43pm 25/1/16. Both Mummy and Lola are doing very well," read the adorable tweet. 

"Izzy is my hero and I love my girls."

Nawwh. 

The Strictly Come Dancing winner could not wait to become a dad as he told fans: "Every night I go to sleep hoping Izzy will wake me up in the middle of the night having gone into labour. Here's to another night."

After years of struggling to conceive, the couple revealed their successful pregnancy as a result of IVF treatment and announced the happy news back in July. 

The pair were super excited about their second pregnancy as the first attempt ended in a miscarriage early last year. 

The happy couple, who married in 2012, are following in the footsteps of Harry's McBusted bandmate Tom Fletcher who also had a child with his wife using IVF.

While they refuse to speak about the nature of their relationship, all signs suggest that Giovanni Pernice and Georgia May Foote are most definitely ON. 

The couple have been spending plenty of time together both personally and professionally as they are in training with the rest of the cast of the show ahead of the Strictly Come Dancing tour. 

Just today, the pair were spotted arriving at the rehearsal studio totally relaxed, holding hands and looking like a definite couple. 

While we all may have been feeling the palpable sexual chemistry between the Corrie actress and her dance partner over the course of the show, hopes for romance were dashed as Georgia was with boyfriend, Sean Ward. 

However, as the handsome couple announced their split after just seven months of dating following the finale of the show, rumours of the 24-year-old's cosy relationship with Giovanni surfaced once again. 

Throughout the course of the show, media outlets reported heated arguments with Sean that left Georgia in tears backstage and it all stemmed from the developing 'friendship' between Georgia and new professional on the show, Giovanni. 

And now it seems that it's official as Giovanni even shared a cute selfie of the couple on his Instagram with the adorable caption "GG" followed by a heart emoji. 

Nawh!

We just hope if Giovanni is on the show next year, that this romance doesn't also succumb to the dreaded Strictly curse.

Ah, the Strictly curse strikes again. Another year of Strictly Come Dancing, another ruined relationship and another budding romance. 

While we all may have been feeling the palpable sexual chemistry between Corrie actress Georgia May Foote and her dance partner, Giovanni Pernice, hopes for romance were dashed as Georgia was with boyfriend, Sean Ward. 

However, as the handsome couple announced their split after seven months of dating following the finale of the show, rumours of the 24-year-old's cosy relationship with her dance partner surfaced once again. 

Throughout the course of the show, media outlets reports heated arguments with Sean that left Georgia in tears backstage and it all stemmed from the developing 'friendship' between Georgia and new professional on the show, Giovanni. 

And it seems that the pair are finally going public with there romance as the Italian dancer shared a snap of the couple with his head resting on her freshly, lightened barnet. 

Strictly Come Dancing has claimed many a relationship over it's eleven year run with winner Jay McGuiness and Aliona Vilani's closeness reportedly causing problems for the dancer's marriage. 

Meanwhile on Celebrity Big Brother, former professional on the show Kristina Rihanoff just announced her pregnancy with her former Strictly dance partner, Ben Cohen who was married at the time they were on the show together.

She slammed romance rumours with her dancing partner a while ago – but that was before she split with her boyfriend.

Georgia May Foote has reportedly been seen kissing her Strictly Come Dancing partner Giovanni Pernice during a break in Paris after she broke up with Coronation Street star Sean Ward. 

The Sun on Sunday is reporting that the pair were seen holding hands during a romantic getaway in Paris and then shared a kiss at the Magic Circus Hotel. 

However, the reports must be pretty devastating for Sean, who supported Georgia all the way through her Strictly experience.

A source told the newspaper, "[Georgia and Giovanni] were definitely trying to keep a low profile, but seemed really besotted. They were kissing in full view of lots of people.

"One morning Giovanni ate his breakfast alone, but he made sure he took her breakfast in bed… He obviously wanted to spoil her and treat her really well."

So, it seems dancing is the way to go to find love.

In quite a shocking turn of events, Aliona Vilani has quit BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing after seven years of being a professional dancer on the show. 

Aliona won the competition in last weekend's final, yet took to Twitter today to announce her departure. 

The blonde beauty shared a picture of her and Jay on Twitter and captioned it, "Going into Strictly Come Dancing Series13, I decided that no matter what would happen, it will be my last one."

And in another tweet she added, "After 7 years on Strictly Come Dancing, as my finale, this has been my best Strictly experience ever by a long way!"

The dancer previously won in 2012 with another boyband singer, Harry Judd from McFly.

And as she says 'goodbye' to Strictly, she says 'hello' to Florida. Aliona posted a snap of her and her husband at the airport today before their long haul flight (putting those Jay romance rumours to bed).

After their victory on Strictly Come Dancing this weekend, the cast and crew had a party like no other.

But in the early hours of the morning, Jay McGuiness and Aliona Vilani shared a few moments of intimacy and we can't help but think if they are a couple behind all the bright lights and cameras.

Leaving the after-party, Jay and Aliona walked down the street holding hands, before Aliona stopped and wrapped her hand around Jay's face. 

The pictures look like they're a full-blown couple, right in the honeymoon stage, but social media has been asking about Aliona's husband, Vincent Kavanagh. 

On Saturday night, when Jay was announced as the winner, millions watched as the boyband singer pressed his face up against the professional dancer and the pulled her into his arms.

She responded by stroking his face and planting a kiss on his cheek. 

Only a few hours before he won the competition, Jay was interviewed and told Aliona, "There is so much I want to say. I'll just say that I love you to pieces."

And after a big hug, Aliona told him, "I love you, too."

Hmm, only time will tell with this one ladies.

Uh Oh!

We all know what the December party season can do to the best of us, but it seems that Strictly Come Dancing It Takes Two presenter, Zoe Ball, has been caught in a pretty compromising position. 

According to the Mirror, the 45-year-old mother of two was snapped kissing TayTay Starhz, a 22-year-old singer from the band Franklin Lake while at a pretty wild Strictly Come Dancing bonanza on Wednesday evening. 

The party, which was held at the Soho Freedom Club in London, was reportedly an end-of-series wrap party for the production team of the show. 

Zoe has been married to DJ Norman Cook (also known as Fatboy Slim) for the better part of sixteen years and the pair have two children together. 

According to a spokesperson for Zoe, the couple know the kiss means nothing. 

“This was nothing more than a silly moment at a Christmas party that meant absolutely nothing.”

"Zoe told Norman as soon as she got home and he knows that it is completely meaningless.”

Just earlier this year, Zoe commented that her marriage to Norman, who is teetotal, has never been better. 

"It would take something pretty mammoth to rock us now."

We sure hope her drunken antics last night don't cause too much drama for the happy pair.

While Jay McGuinness put on a stunning performance on Strictly Come Dancing last night, he did manage to make quite a big blunder in the middle of it. 

The former bandband member scored a respectably 37, despite DROPPING his dancing partner, Aliona Vilani on her head.

However, she didn't seem to mind, since their Doctor Who-Charleston number went down a storm. And the judges might as well have turned a blind eye too.

Craig told the dancing duo afterwards, "Jay, that was brilliant [but] I didn't know whether you meant to drop Aliona, or [whether it was] a style choice."

And Darcey agreed, saying, "It was energetic, it was alive, it was full of style. That was odd at the end but you recovered well."

Jay and Aliona performed the routine to the track Doctor Jazz from musical Jelly’s Last Jam, but good scores from the judges wasn't the only surprise that Jay got. 

Two of his former The Wanted bandmates – Max George and Tom Parker – sat in the audience and cheered him on all the way. #Bromance.

What is the key to achieving the perfect fit body? Nabbing a spot on Strictly Come Dancing obviously. 

Anita Rani, who got voted out on this week's show, has never felt more body confident and is loving showing off her new figure. 

"[My husband] wants us to go away over Christmas, just to disappear and have some time for the two of us," she told The Mirror. 

"Normally we do activity holidays so he was like, ‘Come on, where shall we go snowboarding?’ and I said, ‘Darling, I’m not going to have a body like this ever again in my life – I want to hit a beach and sit around in a bikini’."

And one of the major perks of being body confident? Making daring outfit choices of course. 

Anita wasn't afraid to show off her toned shape in a racy outfit that she wore to the Cosmopolitan Awards last week. 

"I wore a wicked vintage black suit – with nothing on underneath. Before Strictly I would never have done that."

The Countryfile prwas definitely put through her paces over the last 12 weeks by her dreamy dance partner, Gleb Savchenko. 

"When he’s teaching me he’s very intense."

“We’re perfectly matched as I’m the sort of person that, if I’m going to do something, I want to do it to the best of my ability."

The pair were eliminated during the quarter-finals over the weekend, losing out to Georgia May Foote, Jay McGuiness, Kellie Bright and Katie Derham.
