Second Strictly Come Dancing star returns as rehearsals get under way for BBC series
Strictly Come Dancing pros have welcomed another dancer to the show following the return of Aljaž Škorjanec. Australian dancer Joshua Keefe has returned to the fold following a stint on Dancing With The Stars in Ireland and Australia.
While the name may not be instantly recognisable the face will be as he has strutted his stuff through many Strictly group numbers on the BBC show and also toured with StrictlyCome Dancing: The Professionals. He announced his return after he was photographed as part of a group shot from Strictly Come Dancing rehearsals posted to the show's official Instagram.
It was captioned: "Sooo looks like I’m back with this pretty looking bunch @bbcstrictly for a bit I’ve missed you my loves. #strictly2024."
Joshua has also been one of the pro dancers on Strictly's Australian counterpart Dancing With the Stars and his partner from 2019 and 2022, drag icon Courtney Act, also remarked on his return. " I spy with my little eye something beginning with M! It’s my amazing dance partner Mr @joshuakeefedancer!
"How exciting he’s back on the Strictly team!!! Next step convince them to have us on the Christmas Special, Mr Joshua!!!" they excitedly wrote. Joshua laughingly responded he was working on it.
