Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is the fourth celebrity joining the squad in the new series of ‘Strictly Come Dancing'.
Hasselbaink is a former professional footballer and football manager best known for his prolific goal-scoring career in the Premier League and across Europe.
A Dutch international, Jimmy played for clubs including Leeds United, Atlético Madrid and Chelsea, earning a reputation for his power, pace, and precision. Since retiring, Jimmy has become a familiar face in football punditry for major UK sports networks, managed clubs like Burton Albion and Northampton Town and served as an assistant coach for the England national team.
On joining ‘Strictly Come Dancing', Hasselbaink says: “Swapping the pitch for the ballroom is certainly not something I’ve done before but I’m looking forward to tackling a fun challenge! Bring on a new type of footwork, with hopefully no own goals.”
The news was revealed on ‘The One Show' on Monday 11th August. The remaining celebrity contestants joining the new series will be announced in due course.
‘Strictly Come Dancing' will return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer this autumn.
