Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies has been confirmed for Strictly Come Dancing 2021.
The entrepreneur joins the already announced line up of McFly star Tom Fletcher, AJ Odudu, Peep Show’s Robert Webb, Bake Off winner John Whaite and CBBC host Rhys Stephenson.
The 37-year-old said: “My Mam and Dad are going to be so excited. I’m really nervous because so far the producers keep asking me if I can dance. Truth be told – I haven’t got a clue! I’ve not danced since I did ballet lessons when I was little.”
