EastEnders favourite Tamzin Outhwaite has become the fifth celebrity confirmed to be taking part in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special.

Tamzin is best known for her performance as Mel Owen in the long-running BBC soap, for which she earned two wins at the National Television Awards.

Her other credits include Doctor Who, the police drama New Tricks, The Fixer and Red Cap.

On Wednesday evening, it was revealed that Tamzin is one of the stars who’ll be performing in Strictly’s Christmas Day special, where she’ll perform with Nikita Kuzmin.

Nikita had been paired with Olympian Sam Quek on this year’s regular series of Strictly, until she was eliminated earlier this month.

Tamzin said: “I’m so excited to swap the stage for the Strictly ballroom this Christmas. I’m used to performing in front of a live audience, but this is a whole new experience.

“I can’t wait to immerse myself in all things glitter and sequins, let’s hope the judges show Nikita and I some extra festive cheer this Christmas!”

Strictly bosses began revealing the line-up for this year’s festive special last week, beginning with comedian Josh Widdicombe.

Although Strictly’s annual Christmas episode typically features six new celebs competing in a one-off special for the Silver Star trophy, two of the contestants on the regular series of Strictly this year are former festive winners.

JLS singer JB Gill triumphed on Christmas Day back in 2012, while Jamie Borthwick’s own festive win came just last year.

Jacob Rees-Mogg Vows His New Family Reality TV Show Will Not Be Like The Kardashians In Its First Trailer

The first trailer for former Tory minister Jacob Rees-Mogg’s new family reality TV show has just landed and it’s already rather eye-opening.

Filmed at the old Etonian’s 17th Century Somerset mansion Gournay Court, the five-part docu-series appears to follow Rees-Mogg, his wife Helene de Chair and their six children around in the run-up to the general election.

Judging from the two-minute clip, the new show will give viewers access to a whole range of alarming insights into Rees-Mogg – such as the politician’s household staff admitting he likes his underwear to be ironed first.

The outspoken figure also opened the two-minute trailer by admitting he has “been involved in some political controversies”, possibly alluding to the time he lounged on the government front benches in the Commons during Brexit debates.

Rees-Mogg admitted that though it is “probably a sin”, he also “quite enjoy[s] winding people up.”

The footage was filmed in the build-up to the 2024 general election and includes clips of his then-constituents telling Rees-Mogg they hoped he would lose his job, and telling the camera crew: “I would be over the moon if Rees-Mogg is gone.”

Yet the GB News presenter seemed to downplay the impact of losing his seat despite spending the last 14 years in parliament.

“I’m not a dog, I don’t lick my wounds,” he told the camera crew.

The video also showed a few of the Rees-Mogg children admitting they are “quite posh” and talking about their “mansion” in Somerset.

The former politician also told his producers he was “well aware that there are risks in reality TV,”, but added: “I think this will be a rather different kettle of fish actually from The Kardashians.”

Previously asked by HuffPost UK in July what the show would be like, he replied: “Aha, wait and see. Wait and see. Wait and see. Wait and see.”

Asked if he was trying to imitate Donald Trump, who rose to fame by starring in the US version of The Apprentice, Rees-Mogg said: “When I appear orange, then you will know that it’s Trump.”

Naturally, not many people on social media were impressed with the trailer.
