BBC Strictly Come Dancing has announced its first wave of contestants who will be taking part in the show, which begins next month.

It was revealed during The One Show on Friday, August 4, that actress Amanda Abbington, actor Layton Williams and iconic newsreader Angela Rippon would all be taking to the dancefloor in the hopes of winning the Glitterball trophy.

However, fans of the show weren't entirely happy to find out Layton would be taking part. The actor, who is known for his role in the hit comedy Bad Education, has also had major theatre experience in London's West End.

Birmingham Live reports that he played Billy Elliot at the age of just 12, and also took on the role of lead character in Everyone's Talking About Jamie until May 2022.

Variety’s Awards Circuit Roundtable Gives Its Final Predictions to Who Will Win — And Who Should Win — The Emmys

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large This is it! This year’s Emmy voting is over, ending what was a rather muted Phase 2.

Tom McGuane and Jimmy Buffett Recall the Wild Literary Scene of 1970s Key West in Telluride Film ‘All That Is Sacred’ — See the Trailer (EXCLUSIVE)

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Did the Algonquin round table somehow spiritually relocate itself in the early 1970s to Key West, Florida? The idea that the small, remote island city was a hotbed for one of the last great counterculture arts scenes — particularly for prose writers, but also with some music mixed in — is the focus of a new short film about the Key West scene of 50 years ago, “All That Is Sacred.” The 34-minute movie, which stars the famous novelist Tom McGuane and writer-musician Jimmy Buffett, has its premiere at the Telluride Film Festival this weekend. Variety has an exclusive premiere for a trailer for the film, which does not yet have distribution; check it out below.
