A Strictly Come Dancing star has been ‘confirmed’ for the upcoming series after being\u00a0spotted at the studio by eagle-eyed fans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The reality TV<\/a> show, which is filmed at the BBC’s Elstree base, is set to return to screens this Autumn.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And Dani Dyer, 28, was reportedly seen at the studio this week after it was rumoured that she could be set to join the line-up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sharing a post to Reddit<\/a>, someone wrote: ‘My daughter\u2019s a receptionist at Elstree and was super excited that she saw Dani Dyer at the studio yesterday. Something to do with Strictly??’<\/p>\n

Delighted fans commented: ‘I\u2019ve heard her name floating around so thats brill news x’<\/p>\n

Another added: ‘She is rumoured actually! I guess she will be on it, she\u2019ll be good.’<\/p>\n

Dani Dyer has been ‘confirmed’ for the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing after being spotted at the studio by eagle-eyed fans<\/p>\n

Last month it was reported that\u00a0Dani<\/a>\u00a0could be moving on to one of her biggest career moves yet, by signing up to Strictly<\/a> Come Dancing.<\/p>\n

The star is reported to be taking part in the next series, with The Sun<\/a> claiming\u00a0she has signed a pre-contract for the show and is currently in pay deal talks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A source told the publication: ‘Bosses are thrilled she’s agreed to take part and are ironing out her fee.<\/p>\n

‘She’s bubbly, down-to-earth and straight-talking and producers reckon she’ll make an ideal contestant \u2014 not to mention the bonus of having Jarrod and dad Danny in the audience supporting her.’<\/p>\n

MailOnline contacted the BBC and Dani’s reps for comment.<\/p>\n

It comes after last year her acting father Danny, 47,\u00a0said he gets asked to appear on Strictly<\/a> Come Dancing every year, but he turns it down because it’s simply ‘not for him’.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Sun<\/a>, the TV star revealed the reason why he would never agree to be on the beloved BBC<\/a>\u00a0show.<\/p>\n

In true Danny fashion, he told the newspaper: ‘I get offered to do Strictly every year, and it’s not for me. I’ve got no desire to be mincing around in sequins.’<\/p>\n
