Strictly Come Dancing fans react as first same sex pairing revealed

Strictly Come Dancing fans have reacted as the show’s first same sex pairing was revealed.

On Saturday night, the popular dance show returned to our screens to announce which celebrities and professional dancers would be pairing up.

Olympic boxer Nicola Adams was previously announced to take part in the series’ first ever same sex pairing, and was teamed with dancer Katya Jones at the pre-launch show.

Sharing her excitement at her pairing, Nicola wrote: “I’m so happy and excited to finally announce my partner @mrs_katjones.” 

“I couldn’t have been paired with a better partner than a fellow champion in her own right and I can’t wait to see what creative dance routines Katya comes up with.

“Are you ready for the first dance!? 😉” she added.

Sharing their excitement at Strictly’s history-making decision, fans took to Twitter to praise the show.

One fan wrote: “Nicola Adams and Katya Jones making history together. What a power partnership this is going to be! #Strictly”.
