Jamie Laing finally gets his chance to dance as he becomes our ninth celebrity of 2020!

After a false start which saw him leave Strictly 2019 after the launch show due to injury. Jamie Laing is back in the ballroom for 2020.

Jaimie said: “Here we go again, hopefully this time I can last long enough so my mum can see me dance. The reason I’m doing it, is to make my mum proud but all I did last year was make her even more disappointed. Let’s change that this year, can’t wait!!”
