It seems we’ve got our first confirmed pairings for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.

At least two pairs appear to have been leaked ahead of the first episodes airing on TV in September.

Nick Knowles looks set to cha-cha his way onto the Strictly dance floor with Nadiya Bychkova as his partner.

With just weeks to go until the glittering new series kicks off, it seems the first pairing has been quietly revealed.

Nick and Nadiya were spotted together filming at a London shopping centre earlier this week, sparking talk that they’ve been matched by Strictly bosses.

Nadiya, a Strictly pro since 2017, has danced with plenty of celebs over the years, including Davood Ghadami, Lee Ryan, David James, Dan Walker, and Matt Goss.

But last year, she was left without a partner, making fans wonder if this could be her comeback year.

Meanwhile it’s been claimed that Love Island star Tasha Ghouri will be paired with returning pro dancer Aljaž Škorjanec.

The BBC announced earlier this year that Aljaž would be making a return to the show after two years away.

It’s also expected that Amy Dowden will get a celebrity partner as she returns to the show full time.

Elsewhere fans think they’ve figured out more of this year’s couples, including who Shayne Ward is dancing with.

The official pairings will only be confirmed during the launch show on BBC One in September.

Other celebs on the line up include EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick, Olympic swimmer Tom Dean and comedian Chris McCausland.
