Celebrity No. 8: Aston Merrygold

Former JLS singer Aston Merrygold was announced yesterday as the eighth celebrity for this year's Strictly Come Dancing.


Aston was a guest on Scott Mills' show on BBC Radio 1 yesterday, and was clear about his objective: "The aim is to win."

He also said: “I’m so happy to be joining Strictly 2017, it is such a brilliant show and I’ve followed it for years. I’m both nervous and excited to learn from the professionals about a whole new way of dancing!”

Perhaps unsurprisingly, within minutes there were shouts of 'ringer' on Twitter. It's true that, at least on paper, Aston should be capable on the dancefloor. He was a judge on Sky 1's Got To Dance, which means he knows a thing or two about dancing, and can be critical and analytical. He should be able to see and correct his own imperfections.

It will be interesting to see how he gets on.
