TV personality Ross King is set to join the line-up for Strictly Come Dancing 2025, becoming one of the last names confirmed for the BBC competition. The regular guest on Lorraine will appear alongside 14 other celebrities, including Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, Hollywood actress Alex Kingston, and Love Island champion Dani Dyer.
King, who is best known as the Los Angeles correspondent for ITV's Good Morning Britain and Lorraine, has won four News Emmy awards and hosted over 30 television programmes. He was awarded an MBE in 2018 for services to broadcasting, the arts and charity.
In a recent chat with BBC Scotland, King expressed his desire to incorporate Scottish dancing into his performances. 'I genuinely want a bit of The Slosh put in for Scotland,' he said. 'And some form of a ceilidh which apparently they've never done.'
King keeps his private life away from the spotlight. He has been married twice, tying the knot with his second wife Brianna Deutsch in 2015. However, a source claimed in 2022 that the couple had split, stating they 'realised they weren't on the same page romantically any more.'
