It seems like only yesterday when Dianne Buswell and Chris McCausland took the Glitterball Trophy home and were crowned winners of Strictly Come Dancing 2024. 

But with the show's enduring success, it's no surprise that the buzz for the new series, which will be its 22nd, has already begun. 

While the line-up of professional dancers has been confirmed, we can't stop wondering who will be taking their place opposite them. So if, like us, you just can't wait for the next season, here's everyone who is rumoured to take to the dancefloor for Strictly Come Dancing 2025.

The Love Island 2018 winner has been eyed up as part of the new line-up, with reports saying bosses are "thrilled" to have her on board. 

If the rumours are true, we can't wait to see her husband, footballer Jarrod Bowen, and dad Danny Dyer cheering her on from the audience.

It wouldn't be the first time a Made in Chelsea star made some moves on Strictly, and if rumours are true, Toff is the next member to take the floor. 

Considering her 2017 I'm a Celebrity win, Toff would certainly be in the running to be a fan favourite with viewers.

After repeatedly expressing her admiration for the show, it wouldn't surprise us if TV presenter Angelica walked right out of Celebrity Big Brother and into Elstree Studios for Strictly 2025.

It's believed that Angelica was a reserve for last year's series, but fingers crossed, she'll make a full appearance this year.

MasterChef judge and the son of the Queen, Tom is also a contender in the rumoured line-up. 

Reports have said: "His name was also sounded out last year but never materialised. Bosses hope they'll have better luck this year.'

Another I'm a Celebrity alumn and TV presenter, Stacey – known for her BBC show Sort Your Life Out – is said to be teeing up to tango. 

A source told The Sun that Stacey is one of the BBC's top talent, thanks to her NTA-winning decluttering show.

If reports are to be believed, reality TV star Ashley Cain will be the first Ex on the Beach star to feature on Strictly

His survival skills are put to the test on his BBC show, Ashley Cain: Into the Danger Zone – but how will he fare on the ballroom floor, we wonder?

This Morning presenter Craig Rowe has publicly shared his interest in going on Strictly.

He told The Sun: "We've spoken to Strictly and nothing's happened yet, but talks are very much happening. Obviously, Strictly is the one that is gold standard."

"And also, I love dancing – and now I'm fitter. I'd like nothing better than the training as well to put me through my paces."

Who will present Strictly Come Dancing 2025?

While there have been no confirmations, it can safely be assumed that Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will reprise their double-act of presenting the hit show.
