The glitterball trophy just got more competitive! Strictly Come Dancing has announced two sensational new professional dancers joining its 2024 line-up, promising to bring fresh energy to the BBC's flagship dance competition.
Meet the New Strictly Pros
Alexis Warr, a 24-year-old American dancer with an impressive competitive record, makes her UK television debut. The former Dancing with the Stars troupe member boasts championship wins across Europe and recently wowed audiences in the West End production of Burn the Floor.
Joining her is Julian Caillon, a 26-year-old French dancer who's already made waves in the ballroom world. With multiple French National Championship titles under his belt, Caillon brings technical precision and continental flair to the Strictly dancefloor.
What This Means for Strictly 2024
The new additions come as the show prepares for its 20th anniversary celebrations. A BBC spokesperson revealed: "We're thrilled to welcome Alexis and Julien to the Strictly family. Their diverse backgrounds and exceptional talent will bring exciting new dimensions to our routines."
While the celebrity pairings remain under wraps, insiders suggest the new pros might be partnered with some of the taller contestants this series, given their statures.
Fan Reactions
Strictly superfans have already taken to social media to welcome the newcomers, with many praising the show's commitment to refreshing its professional lineup while maintaining its high standards.
The 2024 series of Strictly Come Dancing is expected to premiere this autumn on BBC One, with the full professional lineup to be confirmed in coming weeks.
