Jo Whiley and Monty Don have expressed interest in joining Strictly Come Dancing. Whiley, the host of BBC Radio 2’s Breakfast Show, had Don, the star of Gardeners’ World, as a guest on her show. The pair also shared pictures together on social media, sparking speculation about their potential involvement in the popular dance competition. Whiley captioned one of the photos, praising Don’s eloquence and wisdom. Don reciprocated the sentiment, calling Whiley a “fabulous” presenter. While both have previously declined offers to participate in Strictly, fans are now curious if they will change their minds.
In response to the rumors, fans expressed excitement and curiosity. One fan left an intrigued face emoji, while another exclaimed their love for the idea. A third fan pleaded for clarification, urging the duo not to tease. Despite their previous refusals, it seems that circumstances may have changed for Whiley and Don.
When asked about joining Strictly in the past, Don politely declined, stating that it is not his thing. He emphasized his disinterest by saying he would continue to decline even if asked 33 more times. Whiley, on the other hand, has previously dismissed the idea due to her lack of dancing skills and fear of embarrassing her family. However, she recently hinted at a change of heart after learning a dance routine and gaining some confidence. She shared her newfound enthusiasm with her listeners, revealing that she had considered participating in Strictly.
Zoe Ball, Whiley’s co-star, reacted to the news, describing it as “huge.” She even speculated about potential dance partners for Whiley, suggesting Graziano Di Prima and then Johannes Radebe. Ball playfully envisioned a team called “JoJo” dancing to a particular song. Whiley expressed her intention to contact the show’s booker to explore the possibility further.
As fans eagerly await confirmation, it remains to be seen if Jo Whiley and Monty Don will finally take the stage on Strictly Come Dancing.
