ok.co.ukIt’s been a great start to the Paris 2024 Olympics for Team GB, and now one Gold medal winner is set to compete on the Strictly Come Dancing dance floor.
Swimmer Tom Dean is the latest rumoured addition to the BBC One dance show.The report, from insiders, comes after the star was part of the British relay team which won the 4x200m men’s freestyle on Tuesday (July 30) night. “It’s quite a coup for the producers to bag an Olympian fresh from winning gold in Paris, and swimmers have been shown to be great contestants,” a source told The Sun. “They tend to be a sensation as a result of their fitness, competitiveness and sheer determination to win — and Tom will still be pumped from his victory in France.
