On joining ‘Strictly Come Dancing' this Christmas, Blatt says: “If you can't have a dance at Christmas, when can you?! I'm so excited to meet Kai and start training to make this a dance to remember.”
Blatt joins the previously announced Scarlett Moffatt in Strictly’s festive line-up. The remaining four celebrities taking part in the 2025 Strictly Christmas special will be announced across this week on ‘Strictly: It Takes Two' at 6:30pm on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.
