"Strictly Come Dancing" 2025 Cast: Here's All The Celebrities Rumoured For The Line-Up So Far

Originally known for playing football for clubs like Coventry City, Ashley Cain later embarked on a second career as a reality star with appearances on shows like Ex On The Beach and MTV’s The Challenge.

Following the death of his eight-month-old daughter Azaylia in 2021, Ashley has become a charity campaigner and advocate for children’s cancer research, and earlier this year began presenting the BBC documentary Into The Danger Zone, which explored different issues affecting young men in different countries around the world.

According to The Mirror, it’s this work that’s caught the eye of Strictly bosses, citing “insiders” who say he’s already on producers’ longlist of potential contestants, which will be whittled down from “around 30 names” to just 15 as the new series gets closer.
