James Bye has just been announced as the 14th celebrity to join the line-up for Strictly Come Dancing. The EastEnders actor will swap Albert Square for the Strictly stage later this year.
His appearance was announced live on Friday's instalment of Good Morning Britain as Richard Arnold headed to the EastEnders set in Hertfordshire to speak to him. "I've got big shoes to fill, haven't I?" James said as Richard asked him when he got the phone call and offer to be on the BBC series. "It was quite early days so I've known for a long time ,which has obviously been really hard to keep a secret," he admitted.He continued: "So I'm so pleased that now it's finally out, I can talk about it, I can tell people that I've lied to, so apologies if you're one of those that I've lied to!
So I've had quite a while to get my head around it, but it's still not really sunk in. I'm actually really nervous."When Richard asked what his wife Victoria thinks, James revealed: "She's really supportive, she's always supportive of everything I do.
So we talked it all through, it's a decision we've made together. And I think she's gonna be part of the team." The news comes one day after Countryfile's Hamza Yassin was announced as the 13th star to join the line-up.Speaking to the BBC, James said: "I’m not known for my shimmy or my twinkle toes - in fact my kids regularly laugh at my dad dancing but it’s an honour to be asked and I’m going to give it my best shot.
