Revealing the news during an episode of The One Show on Monday, 8 July, 34 year old Aljaž explained that he’d “missed everything” about being on the popular BBC One show and added that he couldn’t wait to be back on the dancefloor once again. “I could not be more ecstatic to be back with the Strictly family! This year is such a special one for this legendary show, I can’t wait to be a part of it and make my return to the dancefloor,” he said when the news broke.
