Tillie Amartey: I would never says no to Strictly Come Dancing
Tillie Amartey has been tipped to join Strictly Come Dancing.
Tillie Amartey "would never say no" to Strictly Come Dancing.
The 22-year-old actress has been tipped to replace Dani Dyer on the BBC show, and Tillie has confirmed that she'd jump at the chance to join Strictly.
Tillie - who competed on the Strictly Christmas special in 2023 - told Daily Mail: "It’s all sequins, sparkles and speculation at the moment but the Christmas special was very special for me. I had the best time.
"I would never say no to Strictly. I will 100 percent clear my diary always - but I’m a great believer in leaving it to the universe and obviously the main priority is Dani having a speedy recovery!"
Dani left Strictly Come Dancing earlier this week after breaking her ankle.
The 29-year-old TV star "landed funny" during a recent training session and it was subsequently confirmed that she'd suffered a break in her ankle.
Danny - who was paired with Nikita Kuzmin on the BBC show - said: "I had a fall on Friday in rehearsals and landed funny.
"I thought I had rolled my foot but it swelled up badly over the weekend and after an MRI scan yesterday, it turns out I have fractured my ankle.
"Apparently doing the quickstep on a fracture is not advisable and the doctors have said I am not allowed to dance so l've had to pull out of the show."
Despite this, Dani still intends to watch this year's Strictly and will be cheering on the other couples instead.
Dani - who is the daughter of actor Danny Dyer - said: "I am so going to miss dancing with Nikita but will of course be watching closely and cheering all the couples on."
Sarah James, the executive producer of BBC Studios, also suggested that Dani could return to Strictly at some stage in the future.
She said: "Dani has brought so much passion, joy and enthusiasm to Strictly, and her partnership with Nikita was off to the most sensational start. Everyone on the show is incredibly sad that she's no longer able to compete in this year's series.
"We send her all our love and best wishes for a swift recovery, and we very much hope to welcome her back to the ballroom in the future."
