Strictly Come Dancing is back for its fourth live show of the 2025 series – and Lewis Cope is clearing up rumours about his dancing background.
After topping the leaderboard for Movie Week, the former Emmerdale star. who was a late stage replacement for this year’s run, has been accused of being a skilled dancer due to his past West End experience.
“It’s strange to hear that I’m some kind of ‘professional dancer’. It’s been so long since I danced, and I never trained professionally,” the star told OK.
The actor will be hoping to receive high scores for his Foxtrot to Nat King Cole’s “L-O-V-E” while Neighbours star Stefan Dennis will be performing a Charleston, having missed last week’s episode due to vertigo.
Entertainment reporter Ross King became the second star to be eliminated after a shock dance off with EastEnders’s Balvinder Sopal. King’s departure followed Apprentice candidate Thomas Skinner, who said this week he wishes he’d never signed up to the competition.
