Strictly Come Dancing 2025: Who is partnered with who?

Harry Aikines-Aryeetey – aka Nitro from Gladiators – is paired up with Karen Hauer, who said “This is so exciting… I am very, very happy.”

The former Team GB sprinter said to Karen that the couple will have to try and get his Nitro energy into the dances.

Model Ellie Goldstein, who made her acting debut in CBBC show Malory Towers this year, has Vito Coppola as her professional dancer.

Ellie told Strictly that she’s been watching dance videos to help prepare for the show, which she says is everything she thought it would be.

“Spray tan, the glitz, make-up and the hair… everything.”
