George Clarke, known online as George Clarkey, has been revealed as the sixth celebrity taking part in the new series of Strictly Come Dancing. The multi-award-winning show returns to BBC One and BBC iPlayer this September.
The British YouTuber, podcaster and social media star has built a massive digital following across YouTube, TikTok and Instagram through his humour and authenticity. He also co-hosts The Useless Hotline Podcast, which has spawned live shows across the UK.
On joining the ballroom, George said: 'Never thought I’d say this… but I’m doing Strictly! Honestly, I’ve got no idea what I’m doing but I’m excited to get stuck in... and potentially fall over a fair bit.'
The news was announced on BBC Radio 1’s Going Home Drivetime Show on Tuesday 12 August. The remaining celebrity contestants will be revealed in due course.
Strictly Come Dancing is produced by BBC Studios Entertainment and will air this autumn on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
