The Strictly Come Dancing 2024 line-up will feature fewer female celebrities than ever before, according to a report.
Famous names signed up for this year’s BBC One dance contest include comedian Chris McCausland and singer JB Gill.
But The Sun reckons the final, confirmed list of celeb participants could be lacking in terms of female representation by comparison to how many men are involved.
Furthermore, the tabloid suggests that could be due to the scandal that has dominated showbiz headlines recent weeks.

Amid various reports about who else will be taking part in Strictly 2024, the news outlet also names Gladiators star Fire – also a former Olympic sprinter and bobsleigh athlete – and Miranda actress Sarah Hadland as participants.
Others linked with a spot on the show include Morning Live contributor Dr Punam Krishnan, Love Island cast member Tasha Ghouri, Toyah Willcox, and Sam Quek.
The Sun also claims this means there’ll be a total of six women celebs on the show – and nine men.
The tabloid indicates Strictly usually aims for a 50-50 split when it comes to casting male and female celebrities.
And they also quote an unnamed insider as singling out “controversy” concerning the investigation into conduct on the show as a probable reason for the change.
