Nigel Harman has been announced as the 13th celebrity contestant hoping to take home the glitterball trophy in the brand new series of Strictly Come Dancing - which will be kicking off in just a few weeks' time. The former EastEnders actor was announced as the newest celeb joining the show's star-studded lineup during this morning's Lorraine, telling host Christine Lampard that his dancing skills may leave something to be desired, quipping that he thinks he's a good dancer in his head but his body doesn't agree. Discussing his upcoming appearance on the show, he said: "I'm amazed, excited, and terrified to be doing Strictly.
As an armchair fan of the show I have watched in awe as people have twirled and gyrated across the screen. And now it's my turn.....gulp!" Nigel began his acting career when he was just eight years old, and has appeared in a number of popular TV shows, including Eastenders, Casualty, and Downton Abbey. A star of stage and screen, Nigel has a number of theatre credits, including Guys and Dolls in London’s West End and Shrek the Musical, which he then went on to direct for the UK tour.
His role as Dennis Rickman in EastEnders won him multiple awards, including Most Popular Newcomer at the National Television Awards. He also has an Olivier for his role in Shrek. They will be joining ex-Emmerdale actor Adam Thomas, former Love Islander Zara McDermott, and broadcaster Angela Scanlon on the iconic dancefloor, with training for the show beginning in just a few days.
