Strictly Come Dancing fans were left scratching their heads when the BBC ballroom show made an announcement which saw a BBC social media account share a supposed new contestant for the 2022 series.

However, Strictly fans couldn't quite understand the new addition to the line-up, as the show’s Twitter account announced that character Nessa from Gavin & Stacey would be appearing on the dance show.

A number of Strictly fans quickly replied to the post, guessing it was a joke, but others were duped by the announcement and shared their excitement.One follower wrote: "OMG, can't wait," while another enthused: "I mean that’s BLOODY AMAZING."The BBC Three account later admitted the announcement had been a prank, not least because Nessa is a fictional character.
