“I am SO gassed to be joining the Strictly family,” Tyler said in a statement.

” I started writing this I already got cramp. It�s going to be one crazy incredible journey which will no doubt be SO far outside my comfort zone,” he continued.

“It�s a show that means so much to me and my family and I can�t wait to seriously shake a leg on that shiny dance floor� with a side of sequins.”

Fans react to Tyler West

Upon hearing the news, Strictly fans took to the comment section and replies to air their thoughts on the show’s newest recruit.

“I haven�t heard of him, but I don�t listen to Kiss FM. It�s always nice to see a variety of people who we get to know. I didn�t know Rhys [Stephenson] last year, but enjoyed watching him,” one fan tweeted.

“First celeb I don�t know but I look forward to getting to know him,” another said.

“I�m so so excited for him!!!” one fan wrote on Instagram.

“Yay I love Tyler,” another said.

Other fans weren’t as excited. “Who on earth is this? I have zero interest in watching this year,” one commented on Instagram.

“I no longer recognise any of the new celebrities’ names. Not watching,” another said.
