Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood aired his ‘concerns’ about Kaye Adams tackling the Latin routines ahead of the upcoming series.

Celebrities including Helen Skelton, James Bye, Fleur East and Kym Marsh are among the celebrities announced in this year’s milestone line-up, as the launch was confirmed to take place on Friday September 23.

While fans can’t wait to see who’ll wow with their professional dance partners, the long-serving judge has already shared his worry over Loose Women presenter Kaye.

‘Kaye Adams I’m slightly concerned about!’ he said.

‘I think she’ll do quite well at the ballroom stuff, but I’m worried about the Latin.’

‘The sex appeal and the hip action and rhythm, things like the cha-cha-cha might prove … a challenge, darling,’ he added to The Mirror.

‘It’s the selling yourself bare – the costumes are all quite skimpy with the Latin.’

Kaye recently revealed that her first day of rehearsal took a toll on her sleeping patterns.

In a tweet to her 86,000 followers, she said: ‘Struggled to sleep last night after the first day of Strictly Come Dancing rehearsals. Tried to count sheep but couldn’t get past 5, 6, 7, 8.’

The ‘5,6,7,8,’ reference led fans to think that she’ll be dancing to a song by pop group Steps.

But we’ll have to wait and see whether their theory was correct.

This year’s series, its 20th series will premiere later this month, with 15 celebrities wowing the judges and viewers with their moves

The line-up was announced in recent weeks and includes presenter Helen Skelton, former EastEnders actor James Bye, The X Factor star Fleur East and former England football captain Tony Adams. 

The 2021 series was won by actress Rose Ayling-Ellis, the show’s first ever deaf contestant, who consistently wowed the judges alongside dancing partner Giovanni Pernice.

Metro.co.uk has reached out to Craig Revel Horwood and Kaye Adams for comment.

Strictly Come Dancing will launch on Friday, September 23 at 7pm on BBC One.
