Scarlett Moffatt is the first celebrity confirmed to be taking part in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special.
The Gogglebox star, 35, revealed the news on Friday evening’s episode of Strictly: It Takes Two, where she was appearing as a guest on the show’s Friday Panel.Â
Scarlett will be paired with Strictly Come Dancing Professional Dancer Vito Coppola when she enters the Strictly Christmas ballroom this December.
The presenter and TV personality first rose to fame alongside her family on Gogglebox before going on to win I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! in 2016.  Â
Of her upcoming festive Strictly stint, Scarlett said: ‘Strictly has always held a special place in my heart, so being part of the Christmas Special feels truly magical.Â
‘It’s the show that brings everyone together around the TV, and being part of that is a genuine personal and career highlight.Â

‘I’m sure it’ll also introduce me to a few muscles I didn’t know I had. I can’t wait to live my best life on that dancefloor.’Â
This year’s Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special will see six couples battle it out under the glitterball to be crowned the Strictly Christmas Champion.Â
Hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will oversee the festivities for their final time, while Head Judge Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and Anton Du Beke will all be on hand to dish out sleigh-loads of advice, Christmas cheer and the odd lump of coal – before the voting studio audience will decide who wins.Â
Fans can expect a winter wonderland full of festive magic, dazzling group dances and live music in what will be the perfect antidote to the post-Christmas Dinner slump.
The next celebrity taking part in the 2025 Strictly Christmas special is set to be announced on Monday on the Radio 2 Breakfast Show with Scott Mills.
