It’s that time of year again (already) and the Strictly Come Dancing professionals have been spotted heading to Elstree studios for rehearsals ahead of the new series this autumn.
Among them were Amy Dowden, reigning champion Dianne Buswell, Johannes Radebe and Kai Widdrington, to name a few.
They were joined by the two new professionals, Alexis Warr and Julian Caillon.
However, aside from the dancers who began training on Monday (July 28), there was also a celebrity who was spotted by fans making their way to Elstree Studios, rumored to be part of this year’s line-up.

Love Island star spotted at Elstree studios as Strictly rehearsals begin
It comes as someone posted on the Strictly Come Dancing Reddit page: “My daughter’s a receptionist at Elstree and was super excited that she saw Danni Dyer at the studio yesterday. Something to do with strictly??”
This person responded: “She is rumoured actually! I guess she will be on it, she’ll be good.
“She was also rumoured to take part in celeb SAS tho (edit: the one that films for next year) guess she’s deciding which to do.”
Another commented: “i’ve heard her name floating around so thats brill news x”
All the winners over the years
One chimed in: “Last year the celebs did their costume fittings before they were announced, so it’s possible she could be at elstree for that.”
Meanwhile, this viewer shared: “So exciting it’s that time of the year again!!!!”
Last month, the Love Island star was just one name thrown into the rumour mill as a source previously told The Sun: “Bosses are thrilled she's agreed to take part and are ironing out her fee.
"She's bubbly, down-to-earth and straight-talking and producers reckon she'll make an ideal contestant - not to mention the bonus of having Jarrod and dad Danny in the audience supporting her."
