STRICTLY Come Dancing will have a new same-sex dance couple on the 2021 show after Nicola Adams was forced to leave the show early.

The Olympic gold-medallist, 38, pulled out last week after her dance partner Katya Jones, 31, was struck down by Covid-19. It means Nicola and Katya - who were the first same-sex couple in history to star on the programme - will now longer be able to compete for the Strictly crown.

But a show source has told The Sun that producers believe a same-sex couple was a “runaway success.” They now want it to be a "regular part of the show" - with both male and female same-sex pairings.

The insider told us: “Everyone is gutted Nicola and Katya have had to leave. Not only were they amazing dancers but they were hugely.
