Coronation Street and Hollyoaks star Katie McGlynn revealed as seventh Strictly Come Dancing 2021 contestant
Actor Katie McGlynn is the latest to join the line-up.
Katie McGlynn has been revealed as one of the latest celebrities set to take to the dance floor when Strictly Come Dancing 2021 launches later this summer.
Thrilled to be joining the Strictly Come Dancing 2021 line-up, Katie said: "It’s been so hard keeping it a secret, but I can finally say that I’m getting ready to shake my shimmy and become part of the Strictly family! I’m really not a dancer, but I’m so excited to learn a new skill on this crazy journey and cannot wait to slip into some sequins along the way."
She added: "Although I do get to have so much fun as an actress, a lot of my roles have involved quite serious and challenging storylines, so I’m fully ready to let my hair down and do something different, even if it is completely outside of my comfort zone.
"I can’t promise that I’ll be the best, but I’m going to give it 110 per cent on the dance floor! As long as I don't fall over I'll be happy."
