Loose Women’s Kaye Adams confirmed for Strictly Come Dancing 2022 cast

Kaye Adams has been officially confirmed for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.

The Scottish TV star will head into the ballroom this autumn, the fourth confirmed contestant on the line up.

Kaye Adams said: “I said I wanted to make the last year of my fifties memorable and I can’t think of a better way of doing it than showing the world my two left feet. Pray for me!”

On Loose Women, Kaye revealed: “I’m terrified, I’m absolutely terrified because as Nadia very kindly says, as a supportive friend does – ‘Let’s face it, you can’t dance’, which is true. It’s true!

“I’ll be a journey [on the show]. I’ll be honest with you, I can think of a million reasons not to do this and I can still think of a million reasons not to do this and when these gorgeous dancers came on, I nearly exited from both ends of my body, honestly. Sorry about that!

“But I thought, ‘Am I going to be thinking at the end of September I wish I’d done this’. I’m 59, 60 at the end of this year and I was like, ‘Well, why not?’

“I’m a really competitive person and Nadia, you know that’s true but in this I’m not. If I enjoy myself, I’ll be so happy.”

Kaye is a TV and radio presenter and journalist best known as an anchor on ITV topical discussion show Loose Women as well as for hosting the morning show on BBC Radio Scotland.

The news was revealed today (Friday, 5 August) on ITV’s Loose Women.

Also confirmed so far for this year’s series are actress and presenter Kym Marsh and actor Will Mellor and radio & TV presenter Richie Anderson.
