Presenter and DJ Clara Amfo spins into Strictly 2020!

Clara Amfo was revealed as our fifth Strictly celebrity on fellow Radio 1 DJ Greg James' Breakfast show.

Clara said: “As we know this year has been a real challenge and escapism through dancing is something I know we all enjoy, so to be taught by a pro and live a fantasy is something that I can’t wait to fully embrace, see you on the dancefloor!”
